ParticipantHi Peter,
Language and thought are only tools of communication. They arise and fall — just like the body, life, and the universe — within the Unnamable.
When attachment to thought takes root, it gives birth to personality, and with it, the illusion of a separate “person.”
Yet body and life unfold on their own, with no one in control. In the same way, thoughts arise and fall within the Unnamable, as effortlessly as breathing or the beating of the heart.
For the “me,” there was much suffering, until it reached the point where holding on was no longer possible. I completely let go.
And in that letting go, not even ashes remained of “me.”

ParticipantDear Anita,
İt is what You really are.
İf you do not think Now, it is Now.
Actually, it is nameless.
But, if i can name it, it is absolute freedom (neither positive nor negative).

ParticipantExactly. Beautiful. ❤️

ParticipantDear Ms. Anita,
Hell and heaven are not distant places waiting for us after death. They exist here, within the very moments of our lives. When the body and mind are filled with judgment, separation, and endless thinking, that is hell. But when the heart holds love—pure, selfless, and without expectation—that is heaven. Heaven and hell are not around us; they are the landscapes of our own consciousness.
This might sound a little heavy, but after physical death, we simply return to where we came from—which is directly nothing. There is no destination, no reward, no punishment. Just the silence and emptiness from which everything arose.

ParticipantDear Ms. Anita,
You are most welcome. ❤️
Love is the highest and purest service we can offer to humanity. It’s not about recognition, reward, or doing things for show—it’s about giving, understanding, and being fully present for others. When we act from love, every small gesture, every word, every act of kindness becomes meaningful. Helping others with love is not just about changing their lives, it transforms us as well.
Love sees beyond faults, beyond appearances, beyond judgment. It connects us to the essence of people, to their struggles, their joys, their humanity. When we serve from love, we serve without expectation, without ego, without thinking “I am doing something great.” The act itself becomes the gift, and the impact spreads silently, like a ripple in water.
In this way, love is not just an emotion—it is the truest service we can offer to the world.
With love and peace,
Best Regards,

ParticipantI see bad people like babies. They came into this world completely pure, like clean water, innocent and untouched. Everything they became—their personality, their habits, their ways of thinking—was shaped by their environment, family, society, and life circumstances. None of the “bad” things they do are truly their fault, because they are a product of what surrounded them, how they were raised, and what they experienced.
In a way, they are like a river shaped by the stones and soil it flows over. The person I see now is just the result of everything around them, not something they consciously chose in the beginning. Understanding this doesn’t mean I approve of harmful behavior, but it allows me to look at them without hatred or judgment. I can see the human behind the actions, the innocent child that once existed, and the suffering and conditioning that led them to be this way.

ParticipantDear Ms. Anita,
For me, love is the complete acceptance of everything and anything exactly as it is.
The essence of true love: unconditional, arising from awareness itself, not bound by preferences, judgments, or desires. Love is simply the Consciousness reflecting as acceptance.
With love,

ParticipantDear Alessa,
I deeply respect your points and receive them with gratitude. ❤️
I only wish to add: the body, the mind, and life itself are their own. There is no separate person inside controlling them — and believing there is, is the root of suffering.
The Truth is simply resting in pure Consciousness.
The body belongs to itself, moving and living in its natural way.
Through direct seeing, it is revealed that everything is made of pure Consciousness.
You shine upon all — not as body, not as mind, but as the light of pure Consciousness itself.Thus, our essence is one and the same. Love is therefore inevitable.
The body and mind are only instruments to communicate, to share, to care, to embrace, to cry, and to love.
With love,
Best Regards,

ParticipantDear Alessa,
You are most welcome ❤️
Thoughts, feelings, emotions, child, life, and death all arise and fall within Pure Consciousness. Yet Pure Consciousness itself remains untouched, whole, and ever free.
With love,

ParticipantDear Anita,
The instinct to flee danger is natural and built into the body, it’s a perfect protection mechanism. The body knows exactly how to react, often faster than thought or ego could intervene. You don’t need a “me” or “you” to manage survival; the body responds automatically, intelligently, and instantaneously.
For instance, imagine someone suddenly faces a car accident. In that moment, the body reacts immediately brakes, swerves, or jerks without any conscious thought or ego involvement. There is no “me” controlling it. Pure Consciousness simply is, and the body moves perfectly. Only after the event does the ego step in, saying: “I reacted quickly, I saved myself,” creating a story of ownership.
So when I say, “allow yourself to fully face that fear, without trying to flee,” I mean this: fear itself is just a sensation in the body and mind. You don’t need to resist it. You don’t need to overthink it. The body already knows what to do. What you welcome is the fear — the inner reaction — not the external danger. Pure Consciousness allows the fear to arise, and the body acts naturally, flawlessly, without interference.
The distinction is subtle but clear:
Reacting to real danger: the body acts instinctively. No “me” is involved. Life flows.
Resisting fear internally: the ego tries to control, anticipate, or avoid danger unnecessarily. That creates tension and suffering.
Therefore, When fear arises in response to actual danger, rest in Pure Consciousness and trust the body. It is perfectly equipped to protect itself. The ego only interferes after the fact, claiming credit or creating tension. Real skill in life is letting the body do what it is naturally designed to do, while your presence remains relaxed, spacious, and unattached.

ParticipantDear Anita,
Radical Acceptance is not just about accepting situations outside of you, it’s about accepting what is happening inside you / your thoughts, emotions, fears, and impulses without resistance. It’s a full acknowledgment that life, including all feelings, is unfolding exactly as it is.
When I say, “When fear comes, you don’t resist it; you let it be seen,” what I mean is: notice the fear fully, without trying to push it away, judge it, or fix it. In practice, this looks like allowing yourself to feel the sensation of fear in the body, observing the racing thoughts, the tension, the urge to control without identifying with it. You don’t become “the fear”; you simply let it appear and pass through. Pure Consciousness itself watches, and the fear begins to lose its power because there is no resistance feeding it.
Similarly, “When anger arises, you don’t judge it; you allow it to pass like a cloud” means that you stay with the moment, letting the emotion move through your body and mind without clinging. The inner dialogue is simple: “This is here, it is happening, and it is passing.” There is no need to argue with it, suppress it, or attach meaning to it. Pure Consciousness supports the release because you see clearly that the anger is temporary, not you, and has no ground once you let it be.
As for “Even danger, even uncertainty, welcomed without resistance, they lose their sting,” the key is this: it’s not the external danger itself that you welcome, but the fear of it—the internal reaction. When you allow yourself to fully face that fear, without trying to flee, control, or resist, it transforms. The thinking that supports this is: “Everything that arises is part of life. I do not need to control what is happening. I can rest in Pure Consciousness, and the mind will respond naturally.” This radical openness turns fear into clarity, and tension into effortless presence.
In essence, radical acceptance is resting as
Pure Consciousness while life unfolds, allowing every feeling, thought, or uncertainty to rise and fall without clinging. In doing so, the ego loses its grip, and the mind and body act naturally, smoothly, and intelligently.I hope it helps.
With love,
James123
ParticipantAnytime Ms. Alessa,
Best Regards,

ParticipantHi Allessa,
Thank you very much ❤️
Radical acceptance is not passive. It is the deepest strength.
When fear comes, you don’t resist it; you let it be seen.
When anger arises, you don’t judge it; you allow it to pass like a cloud.
Even danger, even uncertainty, welcomed without resistance, they lose their sting.
The paradox is: by accepting everything, the heart opens completely, and care flows naturally. You don’t “try” to care love, compassion, and right action simply arise.
As Rumi says: “This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. Welcome and entertain them all.”

ParticipantHey Peter.
Thank youvery much. Anytime.
Desire, expectation, and wanting belong to the ego, which is nothing but an accumulation of thoughts. Nirvana is simply the dropping of all of them.
When this happens, only pure consciousness remains, just as before physical birth, in deep sleep, or after death.
In this recognition, it becomes clear that nothing has ever truly happened.
Yet the body and universe still appear. If the leg breaks, there is pain, but it belongs to no one—therefore, there is no suffering. The body is a perfectly functioning system: the breath flows on its own, the heart beats on its own, and the mind is astonishingly intelligent. All these systems harmonize effortlessly, with no need for interference.
Thus, consciousness, what you truly are—simply watches life through the body, like watching a film, knowing that the film itself is also made of consciousness.
Stillness is the absence of mental chatter—the ever-present silence, untouched and eternal.
Therefore, Stillness is the end of grasping. Grasping means reaching, clinging, holding to thought, desire, fear, or hope. When the grasp relaxes, mind becomes quiet, like an open hand.
