    Hi Allessa,

    No worries at all.

    These sentences might not be useful for life, yet when death comes remembering them is inevitable.

    Best Regards,

    Dear people,

    I am sorry, but evil is us or ego, not outside.

    As Rumi said, “If you haven’t seen the devil, look at yourself.”

    When you trust God completely, you disappear — and He alone remains. That trust in God i speak of is the same as resting in the Self.

    I wish to add one more thing: Heaven and Hell – The secret of religion – First and last life:

    People speak of heaven and hell as if they exist somewhere after death. The Bible says: “The kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:21), and yet people look outside, to clouds, to graves, to somewhere beyond. The Qur’an says: “He will burn in hell who dies with arrogance and ego in his heart” (4:37, 21:98). And still, religions present heaven and hell as distant, as afterlife. Because the mind refuses to take truth seriously while alive.

    This is the secret of religion: heaven and hell are promised after death to awaken you, to scare you, to inspire surrender. The mind is lazy, the ego clings to power, to importance, to illusions. So religion says, “Do this now, or burn later; be good, or be rewarded later.” But listen carefully: there is no afterlife. Only now exists. Only this life exists.

    If you die with ego, the Qur’an says you burn, not because God punishes you, not because someone outside is angry, but because ego itself cannot survive the fire of reality. Ego is combustible, fragile, illusory. At the moment of physical death, the body and mind fall away, and ego meets the ultimate truth: it is nothing. It combusts, it vanishes. You burn only because of you, your clinging, your separateness. God is not the executioner; God is silent, ever-present, always free.

    Heaven and hell are states of consciousness, not places somewhere else. Anger, greed, fear, control, statues, that is hell. Love, awareness, surrender, that is heaven. Both are happening now.

    Look at your body. Look at your hands, your eyes, your lungs, your heartbeat. Once nothing, now a miracle. From nothing, you are alive, aware, conscious. Do you see it?

    Every breath is heaven. Every fear is hell. Heaven and hell are words, stories, warnings, not geography. Life itself is the teacher, and every moment is the lesson.

    The Bible points to the same secret: “What you have done to the least of these, you have done to me” (Matthew 25:40). Look inward: what you do, how you love, how you hate, heaven and hell are here, not after death. The Qur’an says: “We are closer to you than your jugular vein” (50:16). The Self, the Being, is closer than thought, closer than ego. Yet you run, you hope, you plan, you fear.

    Drop the ego. Drop fear. Drop the illusion of importance. Dance! Laugh! Play! Life is happening through you, not by you. From nothing, you arose. From nothing, a hand, a heart, a mind, what a miracle. And yet you worry about afterlife? No! The first and the last life is now.

    Burn in awareness while alive. Love while alive. The real fire is within, the real paradise is within. Heaven and hell are stories told for awakening. The moment you drop ego, heaven is here, hell vanishes, and the miracle of Being shines.

    Silence. Laughter. Freedom. This is life. This is the first. This is the last.

    Best Regards,

    The body’s dance with the environment is what love and the moment truly are.

    When there is no meaning, there would be no more plants. That’s how sneaky the ego is; it imagines that if there are no beliefs, we are just a plant (which is another meaning in itself).

    Life already has its full meaning and is absolutely perfect. No one needs to add to it or eliminate anything.

    In timelessness, there is only one life. Just enjoy even the experience of being human. Even these conversations are pure beauty.

    I wish to add one more thing. If my speaking is “from the top,” as you said, all one has to do is tie the camel and fully trust in God or Allah. He is the one who created us, not our own efforts at birth. Or, as you said regarding the woman who lost a child: even if there had been only a small problem in the body, such as a gynecological disease, that child would never have been born. Therefore, we always claim to own things that we have never owned, including our body, and that is why we suffer.

    Completely putting absolute trust is inevitable, and that’s what faith or Tawakkul is.and that’s what real religion is, not being Muslim or christian etc… just giving all / completely surrendering.

    I am not important, just a physical organism.

    Much love.

    Hi Thomas,

    Yes, definitely life is all about action. Yet, the body acts or you? Breathing happens, liver functions, mind thinks, hearts beats, do you have any control whatsoever? You can say, I will go to grocery. But, are you even completely know that how you move your hands or feet?

    Thoughts arises and falls. I is actually not dead or born, it is actually not there anymore. Such as, going to grocery shop. Thoughts arises about going yet there is no one behind it, as birth and death.

    Such as, every moment thoughts arises and so called ego, claims that it is my thought. Yet, one simply observes, there is no one behind the thoughts. Therefore, the birth and death are just words, to communicate, not actual action, you do. It is bodies function. The one who gives meaning and belief on thoughts are ego itself.

    At final, egolesness is the best service for humanity. When body is own, it is already one with moment.

    Ego is the creator of past and future, yet body is always present.

    It might help someone.

    Much love.

    Hi Thomas,

    İt never comes from effort or action. Because, your entire life based on action and effort. Therefore, the absolute is effortlessness.

    i had an open heart surgery, right now having a mechanical valve and pacemaker (therefore lost my entire modelling career) and my son diagnosed with tycacardia. So, Life and body have it’s own will. Realization of Truth came with lots of suffering.

    Life and body will never go the way that you expected. And if you try to control, your entire life will be in hell and suffering. So, you decide.

    Stay with peace.

    Best Regards,

    Dear Thomas,

    The i is the core of suffering. Therefore, dropping it is inevitable. İ am not speaking top of the mountain. The reason why i am talking this way is no one who impose to have self spiritual healing, dogmas, beliefs, etc… can help with suffering. Because, those teaching have impact on the ego. Yet, ego is so fragile, based on expectations and circumstances.

    Therefore, i am not talking top of the mountain, just talking directly.

    You should definitely turn inward and be witness of thoughts and feelings. Where does it come from? Who is this i that suffers? Just gently turn inward.

    İf you are truly suffering, i am here to help.

    There is no other to stop suffering, and only way is the let go the self.

    Therefore, as Buddha said, life is suffering.

    You are always what You are. Pure beauty. When turning back to source happens, hugging, crying and loving is inevatible.

    Hi Thomas,

    The preaching is imposing beliefs and ideas. The absolute is completely opposite. İt is all beliefs and ideas are belongs to separate self or ego. That’s the core of suffering.

    One can work on spiritual improvement thousands of hours. Yet, with one bad news, back to suffering again.

    Because, all beliefs, ideas, universe arises and falls within.

    Therefore, Only way to completely heal is realization of what You really are, which is untouched and always here, and can not be hurt, because there is nothing there.

    Hi Peter,

    That’s totally fine. As you said, language is limited.

    No words can enter.

    Dear Peter,

    Moreover, I wish to add that preaching, which is imposing beliefs and ideas are belongs to the ego.

    However, pointing out the Truth, completely opposite of preaching. Because, it is non attachment to any beliefs or ideas as before physical birth or deep sleep.

    Hi Peter,

    The ego is simply attachment to the body.
    When it is realized that the body and mind belong to the whole and are one with the environment, the sense of self dissolves.
    In that recognition, separation ends and only the present moment remains.

    From this oneness, love arises naturally—our highest service to humanity.

    My words may sound harsh, but they are directed only at the ego, therefore harsh.

    Dear Alessa,

    From perpspective of Truth, Mind simply works perfectly with body.

    From perpspective of ego, mind just thinks over and over again. Non stop. Therefore, worry, anger, sadness, fear is inevitable.

    Dear Anita,

    Choice is the illusion of the ego. Just move your hand — do you truly know how it moves? The body acts, life flows, but the ‘I’ that claims ownership is only a thought. Movement happens, yet the doer is never found.

    Dear Alessa,

    Exactly 💯
