Mind is the universe having become unconscious in its eternal meditation, it's all inside, it's like a mask, created by society, but there is just empty, timeless consciousness behind the mind. Mysticism is the path of leaving society and becoming enlightened and reaching unconditional bliss by living selflessly, without the mind. Only when the mind is silent, the truth is revealed and we can see the more subtle side of ourselves, the emptiness behind our ego. Society conditions our pure consciousness with mind and creates our ego, so we cannot reach enlightenment and experience truth as long as we're involved in the game of society. Everything that is contained in our mind is untruth. All beliefs, spiritual beliefs or non-spiritual beliefs, are untruth because they're creations of the mind. But they can be used as tools or symbols to connect with the truth beyond the mind.
The mind is not self conscious, it's just like a machine that's running. We only become self conscious by watching our own mind. The timeless consciousness behind the mind is self conscious. The mind is always suffering from its untruth, that's why we don't know bliss as long as we live from the mind and not from the empty, timeless consciousness behind the mind. Because mind is suffering from it's untruth, we seek for gratification of our mind's desires in society. The moment we have a taste of bliss, we become aware of our suffering as a contrast, so we start to walk the path of spiritual enlightenment to reach the state of constant, unconditional bliss. The more selfishly we live, the more our soul is in pain, because we don't see our bliss, we only see our egos. The more sensitive we are to our suffering, the more sensitive we can be to our bliss. If we're afraid of seeing the ignorance of our mind, bliss will not come, because we have to realize that we are ignorant as long as we aren't bliss.
By living selflessly and creating unconditional love, we are freeing our pure consciousness from our ego and the attachment to society, which is a creation of conditional love. As long as we live from our selfish ego, we're not going to have a blissful experience. Only when we are pure consciousness, we experience bliss. From there on, we will only live selflessly and no longer selfishly, because there is no need to anymore, since our bliss is no longer conditional. Only our selfish ego creates conditions for our bliss, but our pure consciousness is bliss itself. In society, love is not unconditional, society is a creation of ego and mind's selfish desires. Mind is always selfish, it's normal for humans. Only mystics are selfless. They experienced ego death and ascended from humanity and became one with god.
Mind is ignorance, pure consciousness is truth. Both these things, our selfishness and our selflessness, are what our soul is made of. All is just a reflection of our own soul, and our soul is all, silently. Without the mask of society, we are pure consciousness. When we are pure, blissfull consciousness, without the mask of society, we're enlightened and selfless, free from the desires of our selfish self. Then the universe becomes meditation again, disappearing into nothingness. What our pure consciousness believes to be real, is just a dream. It's only happening, because our ego believes that it is happening. In unconsciousness, the eternal consciousness identifies with the dream. But our ego is just a mask in eternal emptiness. The enlightened reside in the eternal void, in the truth that's hidden behind the untruth.
