One of the most revolutionary and remarkable conclusions I experienced is that our true Self is not inside the physical body as if it were made up of layers of energetic bodies, but rather outside of it, controlling the body through a kind of cord that connects to the pineal gland. This differs greatly from all esoteric beliefs that depict the human being as a layered entity, from the physical body to the spirit. This leaves a great mystery open: if I’m not here, then where am I? Who am I?
"This leaves a great mystery open: if I’m not here, then where am I? Who am I?"
This resonated deeply with me and reminded me of an experience that became a turning point in my practice.
The idea of the “absence of a separate self” first came to me through Buddhist teachings, but for a long time it remained only theoretical. Years later, through meditation, it began to open experientially.
During a moment of intense emotional shock, I suddenly perceived myself in three forms at once. There was the suffering self, pure pain. Beside it, another self — calm, luminous, embodying an ideal. And a third — the silent witness, simply observing it all. I also felt that the space itself was somehow interconnected and alive.
This experience changed me. It revealed that the “ideal” is not only something to strive toward, but something already present within the suffering self. It brought a deep sense of inner grounding, humility, and inspiration.
The world is a mystery. We are a mystery. And the Path, for me, is an endless unfolding of this mystery — not to be solved, but to be lived.
