The Main Obstacles to Self-Realization
Consistently, there are three main "obstacles" to realization. The first is the way language is maintaining identification with individuality. The second is the distinction between our infinite nature, which is attributeless, and spiritual experience. And sometimes...
A Simple Exercise to Realize Attributeless Being
Here's a little exercise I like to do that gives the closest idea of what attributeless being is: Close the eyes and just focus on the back of the eyelids. You’ll notice a sense of aliveness which is very familiar. There is awareness, and there's a sense of beingness...
Awakening vs Self-realization
