Super question, Andras!

Here’s a suggestion for you. Rather than going into your ‘mind’ to parse this (which is where your entire question above comes from)…

Try it!

Admit you are fully awakened. Walk around your house, your work, outside, everywhere, and say, ”I am a fully awake, enlightened one.” You can declare it just inside yourself when there are others around, but when you’re free to shout it, shout it!

Now…

Watch what comes up when you declare this.

Maybe 😇

Maybe 🙄

Maybe 😱

if you feel totally free, like, “Yes, that fits,” you’re done. Be shocked. Stop 'seeking.’ Let go. Enjoy your freedom.

If you feel like, “Nah, I couldn’t be, I’m just not advanced enough yet" (which is a total lie:-) then hang out a while longer in “My mind can not admit it, but it can not deny it.”

If you feel like “Aaah, I’m melting!” (like the wicked witch in the Wizard of Oz,) like “Oh no, I’m dissolving and it’s sooo scary, and besides, this will mean the game is over and “I” don’t want the game to be over”…that’s fine, too. Keep playing.

It’s all just Energy anyway, appearing to take form, and then dissolve back into formlessness. The illusory “me” identity has nothing to do with it, doesn’t even factor into the equation. So “you” are free to enjoy wherever you're at.

But “I” say, since it’s all just Energy, “you” and everybody/everything else could not possibly be anything but totally free!

“I” say, stop denying it and get over “yourself!” Be free, truly free! Not after more practices, spiritual process or awakenings. Now, Right Now!
