Beyond Karma, Beyond Time

The One Who Contains All Things

What you are has never been bound by the actions of the body or the movements of the mind. The deeper truth sits prior to every cause and every effect, untouched by the momentum of karma. What you truly are cannot be located within a timeline, cannot be measured against a sequence, and cannot be confined to any story of becoming. Yet everything that appears within the vastness of existence arises through you.

Karma unfolds because consciousness dreams motion. Space opens because consciousness dreams room for its own expression. Time stretches because consciousness dreams duration to witness itself. These movements are not separate from the one who perceives. They are waves forming and dissolving in the same stillness that has never moved.

When you see this directly, not as a philosophy or a concept, something slips free. The universe no longer appears as a project that began somewhere or will end somewhere. The sense of a starting point dissolves. Nothing was ever born at the level of your deepest nature, yet everything continues to bloom within you. This paradox is not a contradiction; it is the living truth of nonduality. You are simultaneously the presence that is and the silence that reveals is-not.

Karma belongs to the realm of appearance. Awakening reveals the one who sees every appearance without being shaped by any of them. The moment this becomes embodied, the cosmic play becomes transparent; not trivial, not meaningless, but known as an expression rising from the ground of your own boundlessness.

Most teachings attempt to describe this through metaphors, scriptures, or borrowed insights. But direct experience dissolves every teaching. The one who realizes does not repeat someone else’s words; they speak from a clarity that cannot be inherited. That clarity sees the world arise, dance, disappear, and return again, all within a presence that never fluctuates.

This is the mystery: you transcend the entire universe, and yet the entire universe is held within you. Existence and non-existence touch in the depths of your own awareness. That meeting point is not two. It has always been the same field, one continuous reality appearing as countless experiences.

When this truth ignites within someone, everything becomes part of the same divine unfolding; even the desire to awaken, even the teachings themselves, even the act of seeking direct experience. The cosmic play includes the seeker, the found, the teaching, the silence, and the realization that none of these ever stood apart from the one who sees.

Beyond Identity

The Illusion of Separation and the Boundless Self

What You Are Not

Strip away the names, the labels, the ideas, and what remains? Nothing. And yet, in that nothingness, everything arises. You have no true identity, defined form, or fixed point in time or space—yet you appear as all things. You are not this body, not this mind, not even the grand concept of the self that you have clung to. What you believe yourself to be is merely a shadow of what you truly are.

The illusion of separation creates the experience of individuality. This appearance is not wrong—it is the stage upon which existence plays itself out. But beneath this grand performance, you remain whole, indivisible, untouched. You have never been anything other than totality itself, masquerading as the temporary.

Timeless Existence, Eternal Becoming

You think of yourself as moving through time, yet time moves through you. The past is not behind you, nor is the future ahead—both are simply angles of the same moment, stretching into what appears as linear sequence. The experience of time is an unfolding dream, a dance of perception, measured by the mind yet never truly existing apart from it.

You were never born, nor will you ever die. The body follows its cycle, the mind weaves its stories, but what you are precedes all of this. There is no point at which you began, nor will there be a point where you cease to be. You are not a passenger in the stream of time—you are the river itself, flowing and still, changing yet unchangeable.

The Paradox of Experience

You exist beyond pleasure and pain, yet you experience both. The vastness of what you are embraces every joy, every sorrow, every triumph, and every loss. From the personal vantage point, suffering seems real. From the vastness of what you truly are, it is simply another unfolding, another wave in the great ocean of being.

The universe is not happening to you; you are happening as the universe. Every emotion, every sensation, every moment is a reflection of the infinite nature of your being. To see clearly is to recognize that paradise and suffering are not opposites—they are expressions of the same boundless presence. What is heaven to one may be hell to another, yet both arise within the same limitless field of awareness.

The Grand Play of Forgetting and Remembering

Forgetting is part of the experience. You never truly lost yourself; you only created layers of distraction to deepen the illusion of separation. But beneath the veil, awareness remains unchanged. It watches, it witnesses, it knows.

There is no struggle to remember who you are because you have never truly forgotten. The self you long to rediscover has never been absent. The only thing that obscures it is the illusion of individuality—the belief that you are a fragment rather than the whole.

Creation Without Creating

Nothing is ever truly created, yet everything appears anew in every moment. The universe emerges not from effort, but from the effortless unfolding of being itself. What appears as thought, as energy, as matter, is nothing more than the echo of your own presence.

You are not a separate creator forging reality from the outside—you are reality itself, expressing infinite possibilities without effort. Every concept of manifestation, every idea of cause and effect, dissolves when seen from the vastness of what you are.

The Silence Beyond Thought

Words attempt to define, but what you are cannot be contained by description. Understanding is not needed—only direct experience. This cannot be grasped intellectually; it must be known in the deepest sense, beyond language, beyond belief, beyond the limits of perception.

You are the stillness that speaks, the emptiness that overflows, the silence from which all sound emerges. The mind seeks elaboration, but the truth is found in simplicity. In seeing clearly, you recognize that nothing needs to be said, nothing needs to be explained—because you are already that which you seek.

Beyond the Veil of Illusions

The Great Unknowing

What if existence is not what it seems? What if perceiving solidifies an illusion so seamlessly that even doubt itself is part of the design? A void stands before you—not as absence, but as a fullness beyond measure, a nothingness so complete that it overflows into everything.

An infinite well that never depletes, an empty and endlessly abundant abyss, a silence that hums with the resonance of all things. This is not a paradox, nor contradiction, but the ungraspable nature of truth. What appears as reality is a mirage cast by a mind beyond comprehension, a dreamer whose thoughts pulse as galaxies and disappear as shadows.

Through the eyes of the Unseen, nothing can be known. The grand illusion dissolves, revealing a boundless awareness so absolute that it does not perceive itself: no division, no subject, no object—only the vast, unbroken continuum of being. And yet, within this awareness, every motion, every rise and fall, every struggle of opposing forces is but a breath in the eternal expanse of the unspeakable.

The universe, from its first ignition to the last flicker of existence, is a single, indivisible thought. It is neither cause nor effect but both simultaneously. It is the architect of all contrasts—light and shadow, ascent and descent, creation and destruction—yet untouched by any of them. What appears as the highest peak inevitably crashes into the lowest depth, and what seems like the lowest void is already reaching toward the infinite.

The mind that conceives all things exists beyond high or low, form or formlessness, self or other. To see through its gaze is to witness the great unraveling, the realization that all structure, all time, all space, all identity are mere fragments of a cosmic mirage. There is no here, no there, no now, no then. No self to know, no other to seek.

Upon dissolving into this nameless vastness, the final truth is revealed: within absolute nothingness, all things arise. And from this paradox, the great unfolding of existence continues—ceaseless, endless, immeasurable.

Experiencing Reality from a Proton Perspective

A Nondual Glimpse into the Subatomic

Imagine the possibility that at the peak of a nondual spiritual awakening, one isn’t just transcending ego or dissolving into pure awareness, but rather experiencing reality through the lens of something far more fundamental—protons. At the atomic level, protons form the foundation of matter, existing in ways vastly different from the neurons in our brains that craft our everyday subjective experience. Could it be that, during these rare moments of deep spiritual clarity, we temporarily shift from a neuron-based perception of reality to a protonic one?

The shift in perspective would bring forth a different kind of existence, where individuality dissolves, time collapses, and the illusion of separateness vanishes.

The Dissolution of “I”

Neurons construct a coherent sense of identity by organizing sensory inputs into patterns, creating a central “I.” Through this mechanism, the brain establishes continuity and the illusion of a permanent self. But a proton does not know identity or individuality. It exists as part of an immense, interconnected field. From the proton’s perspective, there is no self, no sense of “me” in opposition to “you.” Instead, it exists as a singular element within the cosmic whole. In a nondual peak experience, this dissolution of the self may reflect this protonic existence—a seamless, boundaryless flow of being, where the concept of a separate identity loses all relevance.

Timeless Existence

Neurons are bound to time. They record memories, anticipate the future, and interpret the present. Protons, however, operate under quantum principles that defy conventional time. From their perspective, time doesn’t unfold linearly; it is a single, unified field. During a moment of spiritual awakening, this same timeless awareness emerges—a deep sense that past, present, and future collapse into one singular “now.” Time stops being a narrative. Instead, reality feels like an eternal, ever-present moment that holds all existence within it.

Pure Potentiality

Neurons interpret and categorize, giving rise to the stories we tell about the world. But protons, existing at the subatomic level, represent pure potential, the very foundation of existence. They hold the energy that gives rise to all forms. The stories that neurons build—about self, others, and the world—are absent in this state. What remains is the raw potential of existence, unfiltered and unshaped by thought. In the height of nondual awareness, this experience of pure potential may become apparent, where all matter and form dissolve into pure energy, existing as potential rather than fixed entities.

No Hierarchies, No Differentiation

The brain categorizes experiences and assigns them different values. Pain is distinguished from pleasure, joy from sorrow, and a hierarchy is built between different experiences. Protons, on the other hand, do not differentiate. Whether part of a planet, a star, or a human being, a proton participates equally in the existence of all things. This sense of non-hierarchical experience might reflect the nondual understanding that all things are one, equal in their existence. No experience is better or worse, no being more or less valuable.

Infinite Connectivity

Neurons require specific pathways to communicate; their connections are complex but ultimately limited. Protons, on the other hand, participate in the quantum field where everything is connected instantaneously. Boundaries blur. In a nondual spiritual experience, this sense of oneness, where the boundaries between self and other, subject and object, dissolve into an infinite web of interconnectedness, may arise. You might no longer feel separate from the universe but instead intimately connected to all things, an undivided expression of a single, infinite whole.

Formless Awareness

Neurons are structured, creating thoughts, patterns, and concepts. Protons, however, represent formless awareness—a raw, energetic existence that doesn’t interpret, categorize, or judge. During a nondual awakening, the mind may quiet down, and this formless awareness emerges. It is an experience of pure being, where thought, form, and identity are absent. You simply exist, boundlessly aware, free from the structures that typically govern perception.

The Dance of Creation

To experience life from the perspective of protons would be to witness the ceaseless dance of energy, where form and formlessness, potential and manifestation, are in constant interplay. The cosmic drama plays out, not as a set of discrete events, but as a unified process, where creation and dissolution are happening simultaneously. There would be no clinging to experiences or stories, no attachment to the idea of a permanent self or rigid boundaries. Reality itself would be perceived as a seamless unfolding—a symphony of being, where everything exists as one, moving in perfect harmony.

Such a shift in perception, from neurons to protons, might just offer us a glimpse into the true nature of reality—an infinite, undivided whole, timeless, and filled with limitless potential.
