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.
