Freedom Beyond Mind & Time Asanga Angya

QUANTUM LEAP TO CONSCIOUS LIFEAll the methods to the Path of Self-Knowledge serve no purpose other than to create for the seeker the opportunity for the freeing leap into the moment, into his here and now. This is the moment in which the wall between the I and the other, between the inner and the outer world falls, and the differences between consciousness and its conditions disappear. Actualization is the moment: man liberates himself when he realizes that time is an illusion, because eternity and temporality, wakefulness and sleep, consciousness and illusion cannot exist in parallel. Every morning when we wake up, we do not wake up in instalments. We do not try to wake up, we simply wake up when we're done dreaming our dreams. The same applies to the Path. We come into being, or more precisely, we are made present in our reality the moment that we lose all reasons to continue to feed illusions. When we understand this, we realize that that time and space are nothing but an illusion of the mind, and that Awakening is a quantum leap from the artificially regulated, routinely predictable regime of life to a completely different, unpredictable, spontaneous, flowing conscious life...
