What Is the “True Self”?

The “True Self” is the higher, more advanced, multidimensional version of oneself — beyond the world, space, and time. It can also be called the Dao, Buddha, God, the Almighty, or other similar names.

What Is the “True Self State”?

The “True Self State” is the state that appears after enlightenment: a state where one observes the world from the True Self perspective, and can control emotions and desires from that higher viewpoint.

During spiritual practice — in meditation or out-of-body experiences — one can sense or momentarily enter this True Self State. After enlightenment, one can switch into this state at any moment. Continue reading →

Why We Practice

Spiritual practice is a process — its purpose is to attain enlightenment. After enlightenment, a new “clear-minded personality” emerges: another version of the self with independent thoughts and objective perception, detached from the physical brain and body. This is what I previously called the “inner heart,” similar to free will.

This awakened personality exists alongside the thoughts of the physical brain and body, and one can switch into this clear-minded personality at any moment — observing the brain’s thoughts and the body’s desires as a third-person witness. Continue reading →

When observing the physical world from a first-person perspective, one experiences reality through the physical body — the material world. The vast majority of people remain within this level. When entering meditation (samadhi), the first-person view can shift into both first-person and third-person meditative worlds, which are different from the first-person and third-person perspectives experienced during out-of-body states.

It has been nearly two years since my enlightenment, and I can clearly feel a deep separation —
the body, the brain, and the inner self have become distinct from one another.
The inner self (the higher-dimensional consciousness that arose after enlightenment) grows stronger and stronger,
as if it is about to completely detach from this world. Continue reading →

It has been about a year and a half since my enlightenment.

After attaining enlightenment, a person soon gives birth to an “inner self” — a consciousness with independent thoughts and feelings.
In the past, I thought this inner self was simply another layer of thought or personality, a higher version of the self — the Dao, the Buddha, or a divine awareness.
But recently, I’ve realized that this inner self is actually the birth of a higher-level consciousness — an awareness that exists above this world, beyond its limits. Continue reading →

Recently, the feeling that came with enlightenment has been fading. The inner sense of the Dao is gradually diminishing, though a small seed of that enlightened feeling still remains within me.

In daily life, I simply do whatever needs to be done, letting things unfold naturally. I observe my body acting through the eyes of awareness—calmly and objectively. Continue reading →

The “God Perspective” mode, as I call it (which can also be described as viewing from the standpoint of the Dao, God, or Buddha), refers to a state of awareness reached after one has attained enlightenment.

After enlightenment, a new “inner mind” naturally arises. Through this inner mind, one begins to observe the world. As this observation continues over time, the consciousness gradually expands and evolves into the “God Perspective”—a way of perceiving existence from a divine, detached, and all-encompassing viewpoint. Continue reading →

Since attaining enlightenment, I’ve noticed that the people around me seem to understand more and more about spiritual cultivation. Information related to cultivation also appears around me with increasing frequency. This reminded me of the teachings often mentioned in energy-based theories: that as one’s own energy rises, the surrounding world and the people within it change accordingly. The higher your energy, the higher the vibration of the world you inhabit—until the entire world ascends in harmony. Continue reading →

It has been about a year since I attained enlightenment. During this time, my thoughts, feelings, and overall state have gone through three distinct stages of transformation.

Stage One

Right after enlightenment, most of the sensations were paradoxical — “I am the Dao, I am not the Dao; I am the universe, I am not the universe.” It felt like being one with the Dao, heaven, and earth, yet also not one with them. Everything — right and wrong, unity and division — overlapped and coexisted. It was a very subtle, ethereal experience, almost dreamlike and indescribable. Continue reading →

There is another way to attain enlightenment — by letting go of cultivation itself.

Let go of everything. Let go of all external things that bring sensations to the brain — emotions, feelings, attachments. Let go of family affection, romantic love, and all emotional ties. Let go of your parents, your spouse, your children. Let go of material possessions, career, wealth. Let go of your body, your brain — let go of yourself. Continue reading →
