A warm welcome to all fellow spiritual truth seekers visiting this website. To start off, I had purposely chosen to have my ‘apparent’ identity remain unknown or spiritually anonymous online (hence the nameless name, Anon I mus was created). The name “Anon I mus” is simply a contemporary spiritual symbol for the people; teaching us to look beyond our given names, beliefs, roles, social-cultural conditioning, and worldly attachments. We are all encouraged to take a STAND and embrace our deeper part of ourselves which is nameless, formless and timeless. This creates the vast space to which infinite fields of possibilities can arise out of our Innermost Core. In the process of consciously emptying ourselves of form-identification (stripping away all that we are not), what will remain is our True Eternal and Formless Inner Essence (Pure Unconditioned Awareness).
Before the physical, space-time world of forms had come into being, there was only the One formless, nameless, death-less, impersonal field of empty non-conceptual Awareness. This was the primordial, undifferentiated Source of all existence, the womb of creation before everything in the universe had become manifested. We are all the individuated aspects of this formless Divine Source (God); the One Conscious Life that is temporarily living and expressing itself in the imagined dream-like diversity of forms (bodies), simultaneously. Whenever Source Awareness wants to see, hear, taste, feel or touch; it uses the organs (physical senses) of the living beings it created in order to experience life. We (as facets of Source Energy) must not fall under the hypnotic spell of losing ourselves in the illusory appearance of outer forms (social masks, money, power, relationships, addictions, traditions, etc); being over-identified, attached or lost in the passing dream of conceptual forms within the timeless container of consciousness. It is all simply just a strange play of the Divine (Consciousness) alone; diversifying itself to experience a sense of separation (otherness) through the appearance of forms and eventually re-awakening to the truth of its formless eternal nature, behind the veil of form (the essence of who we really are).
In the world that we currently live in, the term of being a “nobody” has a negative association with a person that has no social importance, respectability, power, specialness, influence or success in the (outer) world. Nobody is interested in a nobody. In the spiritual sense of the word, a “spiritual no-body” is the exact opposite and must be “existentially” understood. Who we really are, at our deepest core (beneath the surface), is a transcendental state of unmanifested awareness. God is not a person, or a limited body; God is the pure invisible non dual energy (awareness); eternal existence itself, abiding in all things. In the deeper levels of our being (God-Self) there is no-body there as well (it is a vast space, an infinite abyss, a no-thing-ness, an endless inner sky); this is the zero point where all potentialities are spontaneously emerging from. Being a “spiritual no-body” is tapping into the infinite space of awareness without its limitations; burdened with the attachment to any particular form, name, ego, concepts, beliefs, fears, struggles, conditionings and a separate sense of self (personal story). Great fear comes out of dropping the limited conditioned mind (ego identity) and willfully entering into the space of divine emptiness that surrounds you and is within you. The truth is that divine emptiness or No-self (Buddhist call it Anatta) is really the absence of the ego, which is always trying to fill itself with things out of the fear of being incomplete and unhappy. It is far more enticing and appealing to the ego, being a spiritual “some-body”, rather than a no-body.
Real meditation is really about embracing our inner divine emptiness, the silent space before all conceptual thoughts and emotions were formed. In spiritual enlightenment, you realize that you are already (at the deepest level of your being) enlightened and complete, no longer trying to fill this sense of emptiness with more and more conceptual things; just being as existence is, which paradoxically is both empty, yet full (All that there is).
When we consciously drop the idea of who we think we are (form identities), we become a representation of the Divine; which is beyond all names, forms, roles, borders, distinctions, and confinements of the human mind. My whole effort is to help you go beyond your ego (social mask, self-image); this erroneous belief in the illusion of a “separate you” striving to seek outside validation to become a “somebody” (through comparison). You must disappear into your pure spiritual no-bodiness (non-beingness), the original formless presence of total Pure Awareness. Otherwise, you will undoubtedly be trapped (asleep) in the world of phenomenal form identifications and will inevitably experience a “so-called” personal story of human suffering.
It is a huge undertaking to raise social awareness in getting people to go beyond their personal attachments, distractions, addictions and identifications with Form. In identifying with the ego-mind, you will continue to remain unconscious, limited, divided and imprisoned. Only through the state of divine love, emptiness, stillness, and silence can one be overflowing (full of infinite abundance). If you really want to be spiritually free, you will have to humbly drop all mind-made form-concepts and beliefs that you have attached to your formless essence and melt into Divine Presence (emptiness). When all form identification has been dropped from your awakened I AM presence, the vast emptiness of pure eternal unborn essence will only remain. This is the face you had before you were born, your original face…
To understand what True Spirituality or Enlightenment represents, we must first be fully open and humbly understand what it is not and the pitfalls surrounding it; this is due to a large amount of misinformation out in the mainstream on the subject.
Spirituality/Enlightenment is not about
This website’s sole purpose is to help point out or indicate what the true meaning of spiritual enlightenment means at its core. “Always remember, truth cannot be said, it can only be shown via direct experience.” True spiritual knowledge and wisdom can only serve in showing the way. It is likened to a finger pointing to the moon. All words about the truth are only mere fingers pointing to the moon; but do not accept the fingers as the moon itself. It is not the finger pointing that is important, only where it is pointing to that matters. The moment you start attaching, obsessing, despising or having personal bias to the fingers, then you have completely missed the “whole point”. The fingers were not the point; the point was the moon (truth). I am only here to deliver a message; it is the message that is most important, not the messenger. Can you separate the message from the messenger? Anon I mus
Beware of the pitfalls and traps to spirituality and enlightenment. There has been a barrage of well-intentioned spiritual teachers (self-proclaimed mystics, gurus and spiritual book authors) in the world that have been providing a public service of giving spiritual knowledge and wisdom to seekers; yet they themselves have not passed the tests of transcending (detaching) beyond the ego’s world of Form (matrix of illusory separation and limitation). So many of these self-appointed spiritual teachers have falsely claimed their spiritual awakening through the lenses of their egos. This false awakening gives birth to their spiritual ego; which cleverly hides behind the mask of being ego-less and special. For this reason, all spiritual students (both basic and advanced) must proceed with mindful caution when seeking them out for some useful information and guidance. Only through the state of spiritual transcendence can one be a true teacher by way of example; a clean mirror, reflecting only Pure Being, in order to assist others. There is a wise old saying that states: “Clear all obstacles from the path… If you encounter Buddha, then kill Buddha! Only thus will you attain release, only thus escape the nets and become free”. At first glance to the mind, it can easily be misinterpreted as negative. With a deeper spiritual understanding to what was said, it is a symbolic, not literal warning for us to destroy (dismantle) all forms (personal images, words and concepts) that stand in the way of our own personal and direct experience of spiritual truth or self-realization.
Any unconscious identifications or attachments to Form held in the mind and physical senses, will inevitably lead us to human suffering. Clinging to external forms such as spiritual teachers and spiritual/religious practices, techniques and “sacred” objects; are one of the greatest dangers along the spiritual path toward authentic liberation. Too many “well intentioned” spiritual teachers (guru personas) have kept themselves and their followers at bay (whether they are aware of this fact or not); leaving them trapped at the limited and illusory level of outward Form.
What do I mean by this? Our conditioned mind (ego) sees the world through the lenses of division, distinctions, labels, categories, comparisons and the surface of things. The ego-mind through ignorance is addicted to Form (thoughts, people, recognition, power, control, material possessions, situations, money, pleasures, etc.). People that are unconsciously identified with the mind borrowed from their cultures, traditions and social conditionings, certain mental images that they had consensually agreed upon to be revered as holy, pious, and spiritually enlightened. Most of the so-called spiritual teachers (through the guise of their own egos) have exploited people, by playing into these social and cultural expectations; fulfilling these stereo-typically assigned images-roles, drawing attention to themselves. All of these “Form trappings” only serve to continuously feed the conditioned minds of the masses, this cannot be stressed enough.
Form is the outward appearance of things, which creates the illusory appearance of separation. Society at large has been seeking happiness and salvation in the impermanent world of Forms. People have also become fixated on the outward “show” (Form) of so-called spiritual teachers who look and speak the part (but are not yet awake); putting the attention to their titles and names, personalities (calm and peaceful demeanor’s in the way they speak and carry themselves), the flashy exterior of clothing they wear, race or ethnicity, cultures and traditions, personal stories (biographies), geographic location, who was their master or guru (lineage), their books, DVDs spiritual retreats, popularity, worldly success and so forth.
So many people have made the common mistake of being overly fixated, obsessed, dependent and biased toward spiritual figures of the world; who have merely served as “fingers” pointing (indicating) to universal and timeless spiritual truths throughout the ages. People have gone so far as to pledge their allegiance to these distinct “elite” human (ego) personalities, putting them on such “elevated” pedestals to the point of celebrity status (yoga-lebrities). History has shown us that mankind had created many organized religions, cults, creeds, dogmas and spiritual groups in their names; instead of focusing on the pure spiritual messages that were taught. This only serves for allowing smaller egos to serve and support bigger egos (through co-dependency); deflecting our attention away from the ultimate surrendering to the formless spiritual essence within.
Wisdom indicates that it is not the external messengers, but the messages conveyed, that are most important. Messengers are merely the fingers pointing toward the truth; they are not the truth nor should be revered as more special, spiritually superior, exalted or more holy than anyone of us. If we get caught up with whom these messengers are (on the level of form), we will remain unconscious to our Divine Nature within. This chains us to the security blanket of Form; spiritual wisdom should only serve as a signpost, pointing the way to the gates within and not outside ourselves.
True spiritual teachers should consciously live by way of example, practicing the true principles of spiritual maturity through humility, love and self-negation. They must be a vital symbol of Pure Awareness, by stripping away the layers of their own illusory identifications and attachments to Form. Spiritual teachers must take a stand and become “spiritual no-bodies” (non-beings) without being seduced by their spiritual-ego trappings; lusting after power, glorifying their self image, special-ness, personal credit, wealth, recognition, clinging to traditions and cultural preferences (eastern or western), profiting from the books they wrote, creating organizations and so forth.
The function of spiritual knowledge and wisdom is to point away from itself, to that which lies beyond all designation and description. We must remove our unnecessary attention and distraction to particular outward teachers (human ego-personalities) in the apparent world of Form; the trap of unconsciously choosing one over another (mental discrimination through duality) and only put our focus on the “oneness” of spiritual truths in themselves that can only be found through direct personal experience.
Enlightened beings cannot be held down by the crippling weight of conformity; slaves to the invisible chains of man-made tradition, organized religion, politics, conventions, consumerism, cultures and social acceptance. They all represent past conditionings that mold our lives and are a great barrier to the aliveness of the ever-present moment. World traditions want people to function from unawareness, unintelligence and blind obedience to be easily controlled without questioning their external authorities.
Unless we drop our role-playing social masks (persona); the self-portrait of a false, psychological self and its many stories that we had constructed and mistaken ourselves to be (reinforced by society), we will not be able to find our authentic, unchanging Self that resides eternally from within.
Humanity’s destiny is the flowering of total freedom from all conflict, personal suffering and social conditionings; free in every way possible to live more consciously from that still and silent, universal spaciousness of aware presence. Spiritual enlightenment is not an achievement, a goal that we need to obtain; it is a simple recognition, a discovery of the divine that is already there, inside of us. The observer is the observed, the microcosm is the macrocosm, and the seeker is the sought, in other words, “what we are looking for is what is looking”. Once you enter into the light of presence without center and without borders, you emerge with your original face, your nobodiness. All pseudo masks, labels and concepts that have given you a sense of a personal self-hood, have dropped. You live in the same world but not in the same way.
