welcome to transmissions when we
introduce ourselves we usually say our
name the hi becomes the name and usually
there is a place where this guy lives
usually there is a profession which this
is sometimes it becomes the gender
sometimes it becomes the relation I'm
the son of this and that I am the wife
of this person sometimes it becomes the
nature of the person angry happy
sometimes it becomes the intellectual
capabilities of the person I'm an artist
a writer
scientist or engineer sometimes it
becomes the race creed or community or
even the language groups for some crazy
kind of people those who are spiritual
kind it becomes some kind of
metaphysical entities I'm the sole
multi-dimensional being of some kind
what is this I the people associate with
these various experiences or beefs
when I say I am sitting this ayah is
referring to the body actually the body
is sitting and the association is with
the body when I say I am healthy I am
sick or I am sleeping this associations
are with the body when I introduce
myself in the society the association is
with the name family and profession and
so on in the social context when I am on
the spiritual path and the association
is with the ego or the mind or any kind
of metaphysical entities out there for
those who are called enlightened
self-aware or awakened the association
of the eye shafts to your consciousness
that is witnessing all these experiences
this eye is also known as the identity
or the individual in fact when you look
at the society there are as many
individuals as there are bodies so most
commonly the identity he is associated
with the body but it keeps changing as
you have just seen gets associated with
many things and we can say that the
individual is actually sum total of
these things the individual is not only
a body of a specific kind the human body
of the human animal kind and individual
is also his given name or race or record
star language of his qualifications his
education his the proficiency skills his
intellectual abilities and so on his
spiritual identity and so on we can
combine all these associations and we
can say that it is the individual now so
far so good the individual still exists
but let us take a look at this thing
called individual which looks so solid
and so real when you are not looking at
it when Association is really made with
the body we can see that the body is not
the same it was one year old child it
was the 10 year old child and then it
was 20 year old young man a woman where
it became adult and then
it became old the body did not stay the
body that you were associated with is
already gone it is changing
second-by-second and when I'm supporting
which part of the body am i referring to
actually which particular organ in the
body is me because if you cut off one of
the limbs are let us say transplant an
organ from somewhere else it is not
going to change the I I persist the
individual versus and we now start
calling the new body the new
configuration of the body as the same
individual who had the same name the
names also keep changing you can assume
any name you want the profession keeps
changing you can have any skill any
profession you can master any art you
can master more than one art the
relations they keep changing except
probably the relation of blood like your
mother and father but sometimes we get
surprised when our parents tell us that
you were adopted
and then this association of the
relation and individual can also break
the attitudes the nature of the person
keeps changing the emotions may come and
go every second even the metaphysical
stuff if you believe in that keeps
changing
it was never the same and now we see
that these done with flow of qualities
of many many entities in many many
concepts is an individual now you can
already see that it is becoming fuzzy it
is not it is not so solid now you can
see it now it is ever-changing it is a
collection of concepts and forms which
are also changing where is the
individual now
you will you can say that okay I can
remember what these things are even if
they are changing then I have that I can
reassociate the individual with the
changed qualities changed entities and
so on so it boils down to memory and now
you can suspect where we are going with
the individual no memory no individual
the individual is in the mind the
individual is only a memory just like
everything else that we have seen in the
series so far in the space the time the
suffering the physical world
everything was just memory just mind
concepts in the mind and so is this
individual it is a collection of
changing concepts you will say no the
body is solid but we have already seen
that objects are only in the mind domme
objects exist in the mind as perceptions
yes entries in the memory there is no
other object out there this body is an
object is a changing object and it is
illusory we can immediately see that the
concept of individual is twice as
removed from reality because the body is
just one layer of illusion but if you
add an individual on the clearer it
becomes doubly removed from the illusion
if you the mind is an illusion the mind
is a collection of memorized data and if
you collect them until another concept
of an individual it becomes twice as
removed from the reality so not only the
individual is an illusion it is doubly
so why do we need this concept this is
the obvious question what is what is
this activity of the mind achieving and
the answer is very simple
idea of an individual stag of identity
on everything this body binders ensures
the survival of the body mind survival
is the biggest need of the body mind and
it has come up with the strategy to
collect all the activities all the
processes of this body mind which is a
collection of many things actually an
identity under an individual and it is
given it a name also the second thing is
our society cannot function if there are
no individuals if somebody steals have
several murders whom are you going to
blame if there is no individual so
people lock up this body and say that
the individual did these nasty things
and the body suffers because of what the
mind did whatever actions the mind
planned if there is no individual who is
going to eat whom are you gonna pay whom
are you going to elect your president
the whole society is based on this very
elaborate idea of there being an
individual our lives are based on this
idea of there being an individual so it
has become a part of this transactional
reality as you call it let's become a
part of this relative reality and we
simply assume that there is an
individual when we look at somebody we
see on the body we do not see the
individual we infer from the actions
voice and the nature of the body there
is some something there which is
consistent with the past actions of the
body although they keep changing with
the change so slowly that the mind gets
an opportunity to integrate those
changes into it its current definition
of the
usual so even though the individual this
body my complex keeps changing everyday
we keep updating our database the
changes for example the person that you
knew as your friend was very kind and
very loving and will jolly fellow
something happened and he turned into a
bitter person now he's very angry and
almost criminal but you know that he is
the same individual you do not say that
I don't recognize him but your mind has
integrated the new features into the
definition of this individual so if you
erase the past from your memory you will
find that the new individual is totally
okay there is no doubt in your mind that
there is an individual however this
proves that the other individual other
other people they are also in our
memories they are also an integrated
database in our memories you can change
the body also let us let's say you can
your wife gets a plastic surgery
cosmetic surgery and you cannot
recognize him now but from her voice or
from her attitudes from her behavior and
nature you can easily conclude that she
is your wife now your mind will update
the data then your mind will add a new
face on to this personality the old
personality and the life continues with
the individual getting updated she is
the same individual for you although
everything almost everything has changed
about that unusual we live in this
perpetual illusions of their being an
individual not only we think that I am
this individual which is changing flow
of phenomena we also think that there
are other individuals there are other
people
out there there are also just a flow in
this universal mind just a flow in this
illusory world and our societies are
actually based on this these realities
of their being individuals Society is
three times removed from the reality and
there is no wonder that it's in bad
shape because nobody knows what what's
going on everybody is deluded everybody
is under the spell of Maya under the
spell of illusion that is why most of
the humanity
most of these body mind creatures they
are miserable they are unhappy they are
ignorant they are fearful and angry
their pressure comes from identification
with the individual or identification
with this body or some other part of the
memory there is no happiness there is no
real happiness there is no bliss
whenever you look because everybody is
deluding themselves the thing they have
separate the thing that better they are
in control they are in charge of this
individual which is this flowing on the
mercy of Mother Nature the mercy of
these mental processes which the mother
nature is only the last kind which I
can't crazy which I think is the most
same kind of person on this planet a
spiritually awakened person compared to
him everybody he is totally mad an
awakened person who knows that there is
no individual he is not deluded he's
totally acting as an individual fully
knowing that it is an illusion that
gives him the correct sense to act in
the society also seeing everybody has
not individuals but as this pure
consciousness which has taken in these
forms
corrects our behavior automatically we
do not need a things we do not need
reward and Punishment systems of the
society we can actually very naturally
seeing that there are no individuals
there is just one hole who leads this
made of artificial ethics our rules or
laws why do we need these are artificial
constructs in the society because nobody
knows what they are everybody thinks
that they are individuals look at the
individual and it will dissolve if you
are not still convinced that there is no
individual I have a very nice trick you
just start describing the individual and
everything about the unusual will point
to memory locations in your mind
everything points to some or other
memory individual is a concept in the
mind is a collection of many behaviors
many things many experiences experiences
that are that the mind is integrating
into one thing the third thing that
convinces us that there is an individual
is the brainwashing the conditioning
that is imposed upon our mind by the
society who is deluded the delusion is
passed on to the infant your mother will
point your body and say that it is you
and the very early maturing would the
child starts associating the
individuality with the body so if the
child it's hurt if there is no
individual there is just a sensation of
pain and the child knows nothing but to
cry except crying but then the mother
comes and says look at your feet look at
your knees
it is they are bleeding you fell down
and you are hurt and there is
association that is formed in the mind
of mind of a child I am this thing which
is hurt which is bleeding which is
speeding as you grow up the society
gives you a name the society gives you a
caste raised in nationality all that
garbage you are you it's a specific kind
of gender and you have all these kind of
burdensome identities your government
gives you passport or identity card now
by the age of 2025 you are totally
trapped in this garbage that you call
individual it is this garbage in your
mind that is stuffed by the society you
also point to the other body minds and
say that they are individual and you
also go to this extent that you blame
them for their actions if there is no
individual who is acting this is another
illusion
there is no actor because there is
nobody to act the actions are happening
the experiences are coming then the mind
associate associates in actions of these
organisms that it sees experiences into
an individual and assigns responsibility
an actor to those actions and I am NOT
saying that this is totally useless it
is very very useful for survival if you
do not know who you are as an individual
the body might won't know whom to feed
whom to protect whom to defend and who
must reproduce with whom the mother
won't take care of the child and she
does not see the child as an individual
separate from the environment and the
child won't recognize the mother if the
child won't see the mother as
another individual a special individual
who ensures his or her survival and we
formed groups we formed tribes and their
function is again survival we are a
tribal kind of animal we are a group
herd animal and the whole herd takes on
an individuality you must have noticed
this and they attack other groups other
tribes because they are competing for
survival with the other tribes this is
the whole trauma of society no doubt no
wonder these individuals are miserable
the thing they're acting the thing that
others are acting the thing that their
tribes their groups their communities
they exist the thing that I exist as
this body mind is a bunch of memories
and experiences they are insane actually
the one who is awakened the one who has
realized that there is no individual is
called enlightened because then the
light of awareness shines on this
activity of the mind it is discarded but
it is kept as a mechanism for survival
now the survival is no more a burden
because it is being done by this
organism it is not being done by me if
it survives fine if it does not it's ok
business as usual nobody survives here
you will die if even if you are an
individual you will die even if you see
net this thing that diet is a part of
the whole the flowing whole which
appears on the screen of pure
consciousness pure emptiness zero
dimensional screen where this play is
being played of individuality
without individuality there will not be
any experience
individuality is a limitation and
limitation is what gives us this
experience so that question is now yes
there is no individual should I stop
behaving like an individual should I
kill this thing cause the body mind or
something because it's not real this is
half enlightenment this is worse than
enlightenment actually do not do
anything stupid it is what it is
it is an illusion and it will continue
even if you have these kind of thoughts
it will continue and will continue in
other forms so what we see is that this
individuality is actually a gift from
this consciousness to in order to enable
this kind of experience of limitedness
because I am the consciousness which is
infinite there is no way to know what I
am
unless then limit myself in a form and I
assume that this farm has a life of its
own so that it can protect itself so
then it can feed itself and reproduce
this is the trick you felt for this
trick this is my own trick but I've
forgotten this have taken the separate
individual the illusion of the
individual as myself and I've forgotten
the architect of this individual that is
watching silently time that watcher
actually I am NOT the individual the
individual is a means to gain
experiences for these things the
individual is an illusion the individual
appears and disappears and when who is
witnessing this illusion of
individuality illusion of identity of
person
I was never born the person was born and
it will die because it was born because
it changes and that which witnesses this
birth and death of this illusory entity
does not last but the experience never
ends the I stays the real I is my real
nature which is pure consciousness
Nachman that is witnessing the play of
individuality and that
thank you very much for listening

you
