Liberation You are the hypothesis that does not hold up to direct observation.
“You probably have heard about spiritual enlightenment, right? The deal is that there’s a few dudes who are awakened, and they have been telling us for centuries that most of humanity is living their lives under the spell of Maya — that we are living a lie that blinds us from the obvious truth in front of the eyes. There is an assumption we so dearly cherish as the unshakable truth, that just isn’t true.
Well, for the past year I have been obsessing over this stuff, reading a lot of materials and practicing various spiritual techniques and going on retreat and stuff like that, chasing one clue after another, trying to get my act together because my head was so filled with conflicting information that I just couldn’t go on unless I figure out what is true.
But what kind a lie would it have to be, that billions of people throughout the age would fail to see it after being hinted at by countless spiritual traditions? It would have to be something really unthinkable, right? It would have to be the last thing we would ever question, an assumption we are so certain to be true that very, very few would have the nerve to even consider that it *might* not be true. Yeah?
You wanna know what the lie is? It’s you. You are the lie.
You are the hypothesis that does not hold up to direct observation.
Now, if you were like me the first time I heard about this, you’re probably like — whoa, what kind of prank is this guy trying to pull? But wait, look. Look at the actual words that the awakened masters have said:
“You want Enlightenment straight up? YOU don’t exist.” – Adyashanti
“You are saved by realizing that there is no self to be saved.” – Vernon Howard.
“Enlightenment is the recognition that there is no you; that your sense of separation and individuality is an illusion.”
“The mind perceives thoughts. There never was a thinker, just the view that there was one.” – Buddha
Does this spark your curiosity at all? Well, thankfully, there is an internet community devoted to help people see the truth of this in real life. All you need is honesty, and the willingness to look, and you can see the truth of this TODAY. To see the lie is to kill it, and I gotta tell you, this is one big ass lie that you wouldn’t want to miss. Look, I’m really not the best guy to walk you through this. Sign up at ]liberationunleashed.com and there you will find people who are trained to help you see this. So trust me, spare an hour, do this, and life will never be the same.”
