Removing The Spectacles Of The "Space-Time Self"

It’s always pleasantly surprising to the mind when it discovers, contrary to previous beliefs, that you are not someone, somewhere, associated with being a physical sensation in a body. In other words, the conscious you are has no boundary in position in space and time as far as you can ascertain. There is nothing outside of you, and when you observe, what appears to you is actually in you, becoming clear that it is not separate from you but somehow mysteriously made of you.

You possess the paradoxical capacity to both know and create forms, to simultaneously be a no-thing and a something. As this realization unfolds, it becomes evident that though you can still say “I am here,” it is not a here in space, and although you can still say “I am present,” it is not a point in linear time. So, while you remain real and present, time and space are realised to be the illusion, akin to a pair of spectacles through which you view the world.

Removing these spectacles reveals the present moment of you as you really are and what is appearing to you, all made of you. Everything is all one. In this reality, it becomes clear that it was only the investment in the illusion caused by the spectacles of time and space that were causing psychological anxiety. They created the impression of a self that was “space-timed,” was located, and finite, leading to the belief that the self had to control life to stay alive, despite the constant nagging realisation that this is ultimately impossible.

Evidently, this story is fundamentally flawed and doomed from the outset to provide the desired security. However, there is immense relief, and gratitude felt in the mind and body upon realising that the "space-time self" was merely a story and that there is no need to invest in it for security and the real boundless nature of what you are serves as the ever-present source of safety for the children of the mind and body.
