Personal liberation implies a self that first exists, then becomes free. Yet the self is nothing more than an illusion, and its imagined liberation is no different. Seeking freedom reinforces the notion that there is someone bound. Striving for liberation is an endless dream—every effort to attain freedom only ensures its continuation. When that dream ends, nothing is achieved, gained, or realized. The “me” does not awaken into liberation—it simply vanishes. What is left is not personal freedom, but this—already free, without anyone to claim it.

Most seekers assume that when the dream of "me" ends, something else will remain. But the "me" is not inside the dream—it is the dream itself, with nothing real beyond it. Without the self, there is no one left to wake up, no one left to experience an ending. The belief in a personal journey keeps the illusion intact, making it seem as if awakening is an event. But there is no awakening, no transition—just the disappearance of the one that thought it was asleep. The "me" is not something that can be released or transformed—it was never real to begin with.

The illusory self often assumes that everything must come from somewhere, have a foundation, or contain something real at its core. But this empty appearance does not rest on anything deeper—it simply appears without origin, ground, or essence. The search for a source is just another movement within the illusion of self. Nothing gives rise to this; nothing sustains it. It's neither built upon a reality nor conceals anything beyond itself. There is only this—appearing without reason, without depth, and without any substance at all.

To the illusory “me,” life appears as something personal—something to experience, manage, and control. But what appears is not happening to or for anyone. It's neither given, denied, nor deserved. The sense that life has meaning or direction arises entirely within the dream of "me." When there is no longer an illusory center from which life is interpreted, all of that disappears. What remains is not a life being lived, but only life itself—unclaimed, untouched, and unbound. It doesn't happen to anyone, because there is no one to whom life occurs.
