God doesn’t need to convince itself it’s God.
Only a confused, separated, fallen one.
Who needs to assert Self?
Do you need to assert yourself as yourself?
Assertions, and any identification, are inherently dualistic.
Is self-understanding inherently dualistic?
How can one see oneself?
How can one know oneself, if there is no other?
Is that the purpose of this human life, this body?
It is not understanding any self.
It is only being that self.
And you can only understand it as you are it.
In the knowledge of this knowing.
There is no self.
God is acausal.
Truth is, realized or not.
There is no realization of truth.
There is only unrealization of untruth.
There is nothing to seek.
Nothing to know.
Only assumptions to destroy.
If God is proclaimed it is not known.
Who awakens whom?
This is not an I.
I am not God.
God is I.
That which is already the case does NOT mean whatever YOU feel right now is Truth, or God, or that the mess of ego, which FEELS like it’s already the case, is God itself.
What it means is that Truth IS, despite your unrealization of it, despite your not knowing it.
It is already the case, meaning it is what is always true, no matter what illusions blind you to knowledge of it, at any given moment.
The knowledge does not “create” the state because it is not a state but reality itself. Therefore, everything else must be uncreated instead.
Sometimes the idea of “that which is already the case” makes you think you need to search for this, to see it, look for it somewhere, whether in your vision, or your “being”, or in any given way.
But it cannot be sought.
Does this mean you realize it already?
Just because you cannot seek it, or seeking it is the avoidance of it, does this mean you already realize it?
No.
Because even when you think you’re not seeking it, you still are.
If you try to “look” for “that which is already the case”, you are seeking it, even if it appears to be “within reality” or “within yourself”.
Or within what you believe or even see to already be there.
But this search, or this looking, or this mere attempt to see cannot be that which is already the case.
That which IS cannot be seen by you because you do not exist.
You don’t know Truth because you cannot know Truth.
Truth is when there is nobody to know it.
It is all there is and it cannot be seen by that which is not.
This is why it is called Acausal God.
It is Acausal because you did not cause it by your seeing it.
If there is a you it is destroyed.
And trying to avoid “searching” for it by instead “imagining” it is already there is the same thing as looking for it.
There is a you that is imagining it.
There is still the feeling of you.
Truth is not located by you or your searching or some idea of sight or discovery. Only Reality Itself Locates Itself because it is located only when only It exists. And in a way, it is not located at all, it’s just that you disappeared.
That which is already the case must essentially be LEFT ALONE by the ego. Left ALONE by the searcher. The searcher cannot locate it at all, because the search implies it is not self-evident and not already the case.
Trying to LOOK for it to PROVE that it is already the case doesn’t work. You can never “see it” even if it is already the case. It stands on its own and therefore is its own thing. It is an automaticity.
What is already the case cannot be seen because it already is and it is self-evident and needs nobody to see it.
There cannot be looking AND finding.
Both are mutually exclusive.
If you are looking, you are not looking at yourself looking, there is only looking. (And there is not even one present to see this.)
But finding, finding is being.
Nothing is found, something is lost instead.
Finding IS the losing of oneself.
Truth means the death of oneself.
And nobody would ever approach anything from this manner. (Which is why nobody does.)
Thus truth is not approachable by the ego.
It is sometimes walked into, or tripped over.
But there is no “approach” that can lead to it.
For all approaches are egoic in nature.
Real Acasual God or Truth isn’t not separate because it is you or part of you.
It is not separate because there’s nothing for it to be separate from.
It is not separate, other, or different NOT because it IS you but because IT is all that exists.
There is no YOU.
Nor is there an IT.
Because that would also imply separation.
There can be no distinction.
There is no God.
There is no You.
There is no It.
There is no distinction, whatsoever.
There is no distinction that can be made to make anyone realize anything.
In this way, there is not even truth.
For truth is a distinction.
But there is nothing else.
And so there is not even this.
And so then how can there be that?
God is I as I-God-Subject.
I am not God as conception-object.
Any distinction is indeed imaginary in ultimate truth.
However, this world is not a place of ultimate truth.
And the idea that anyone will get anywhere without face-melting devotion is simply not the case.
You yourself make a distinction when you say “wake up”.
Who is to wake up whom?
Are you a self? Am I a self?
Am I not awake? What is not awake?
There is no I.
If somebody believes that you are an I, there can only be two reasons:
Either they see it because they believe in it themselves.
Or they see that YOU yourself believe in your own I.
But even in the latter case, the seer knows that it is not ultimately true, and simply your own belief.
So one can indeed see one is “covered in one’s own self”.
But the idea of “waking up” is false: who is to wake up to what?
No-self is not imagination but truth.
Untruth unrealization is the way. And this does require devotion.
Until it no longer requires a devoted self.
