Why Self-Improvement Never Brings Freedom | Ashtavakra’s Shocking Answer A seeker asked Ashtavakra, Is self-improvement the way to freedom? We are taught to fix ourselves, refine ourselves, and become better versions of who we are. But what if this constant effort to improve is the very thing that keeps...

Why the Thought of Ending One’s Life Appears — Ashtavakra’s Silent Answer ⸻ A disciple once asked Ashtavakra a question that many carry silently within: Why does the thought of ending one’s life sometimes arise? This reflection does not speak about destruction. It points toward exhaustion — exhaustion with false identities, roles, expectations, and the endless pressure to become something. Ashtavakra’s insight is direct and uncompromising. The mind becomes heavy when it mistakes itself for the self. When this confusion deepens, disappearance appears as relief — not because existence is unbearable, but because the mind is. This teaching does not encourage harm. It reveals something subtler: the one who wants to disappear is not you. It is only a story, an idea, a false center built from thought. The moment this is seen, even briefly, a great lightness appears. Nothing needs to end. Only misunderstanding falls away. This is not motivation. This is not philosophy. This is a mirror. ⸻ 📚 Source: Inspired by the Advaita wisdom of Ashtavakra, as expressed in the spirit of the Ashtavakra Gita. ⸻

who created this universe? king janak asked ashtavakra “who created this universe?” king janak asked ashtavakra — and the answer shattered the very idea of a creator. ashtavakra points out that this question arises only when the mind assumes everything must have a maker. but what if creation is not something done by someone? what if it simply appears the moment thought appears? in this short dialogue, ashtavakra explains that the universe is not made like a pot by a potter. it arises in awareness the way reflections arise in a mirror. no doer behind it. no beginning. no end. he reminds king janak that as long as one keeps asking “who created this,” one remains trapped inside the story of the mind. but when attention turns toward the one in whom the question arises, the whole story dissolves. this is not philosophy. it is a direct invitation to see that the universe is not something outside of you. it appears in consciousness, and when the mind becomes silent, no creator is found and no creation remains — only awareness, silent and whole. source: inspired by the spirit and teachings of the ashtavakra gita (advaita vedanta)

A seeker asked Maharishi Patanjali should desire be destroyed or understood? Desire is not your enemy. And destroying it is impossible — because the one trying to destroy it is desire. In this short reflection inspired by Maharishi Patanjali, a seeker asks one of the most dangerous questions ever asked on the spiritual path: Should desire be destroyed, or understood? What follows is not a moral answer, not a method, not discipline — but a moment of seeing. Not suppression. Not indulgence. Observation. When desire is fought, it hides. When it is followed, it blinds. But when it is watched without choice, it ends by itself. This is not motivation. This is not belief. This is a direct confrontation with the root of suffering. Watch slowly. Listen carefully. Nothing here is accidental.

Moksha in Advaita Vedanta: Not a Destination, but a Recognition In Advaita Vedanta, Moksha is not described as a place to reach, a world to escape to, or a future reward after death. Moksha is knowledge — the clear seeing of what has always been true. It is the end of ignorance, not the acquisition of something new. According to Advaita, the fundamental mistake of human life is adhyāsa — the superimposition of the non-Self upon the Self. We take ourselves to be the body, the mind, the roles, the doer, the sufferer. From this misunderstanding arises fear, desire, attachment, and the sense of bondage. Moksha is the dissolution of this misunderstanding. Moksha Is Not “Going Somewhere” Advaita Vedanta firmly rejects the idea that liberation is a journey to another realm. The Self (Ātman) is already free, eternal, and complete. If liberation were something to be attained, it would be impermanent. But the Upanishads declare: “You are That” (Tat Tvam Asi) This means that Brahman, the absolute reality, is not separate from you. Therefore, Moksha cannot be an event in time or a change in location. It is the recognition that bondage itself was never real. Bondage Was Never Real The statement “the bondage that seemed real never actually existed” is central to Advaita. The world of suffering is compared to mistaking a rope for a snake in dim light. The fear feels real, the reaction is real, but the snake was never there. Similarly, ignorance (avidyā) creates the illusion of limitation. When the right knowledge (jñāna) arises, nothing physically changes. The body remains, the world continues, actions happen — but the false identification collapses. The individual no longer takes the body or mind to be the Self. The Body Is Not Abandoned, the World Is Not Escaped Advaita does not teach rejection of the world through physical renunciation alone. Liberation does not require the body to be destroyed or society to be abandoned. What falls away is the belief that “I am this body” or “I am bound by this world.” The liberated one (jīvanmukta) lives fully in the world while knowing it as mithyā — not unreal, but dependent, temporary, and not absolute. The world continues to appear, but it no longer binds. Moksha as the End of Forgetfulness Moksha is often described as smṛti — remembrance. It is remembering one’s true nature as pure awareness (chaitanya), untouched by birth and death. Nothing new is gained; rather, something false is lost. This is why Advaita says: You do not become free You discover that you were never bound Fear ends because there is no second thing. Desire ends because completeness is recognized. Suffering ends because the sufferer is seen as an idea, not a fact. Knowledge Alone Liberates In Advaita Vedanta, liberation is not produced by rituals, actions, or even meditation alone. These may purify the mind, but Moksha arises only through knowledge of the Self. This knowledge is not intellectual belief but direct insight into one’s own being. When ignorance ends, Moksha is immediate. There is no waiting, no afterlife requirement, no qualification of time. Conclusion Moksha, in Advaita Vedanta, is not escape — it is clarity. Not renunciation of the world — but renunciation of false identity. Not the destruction of life — but the destruction of ignorance. Nothing leaves. Nothing arrives. Only the truth is seen as it has always been. And in that seeing, freedom stands revealed.

Coaches, if you rarely share...share this. Important message here! "It is a very difficult question, because to be a great coach there are so many aspects… it is not only about tactics or results, it is about the human being as well. But on the other side, it is easier to say what makes a bad coach. For me, a bad coach is somebody who takes away the joy of the game from the players, who does not allow them to express themselves or make their own decisions. Especially at the level of development, the role of the coach is to give freedom, but not to control everything."

ELON: WE NEED TO RESTORE FREEDOM TO THE PEOPLE OF GERMANY “The current government [of Germany] is suppressing speech very aggressively. When you suppress freedom of speech, it's very difficult, if not impossible, to have a true democracy, because freedom of speech is the foundation of democracy. People cannot be expected to vote in an informed manner if they are not able to know the truth. So this is why it is so important to have freedom of speech so people can make an informed vote and it can be a true democracy. But this is not what the current government has been doing. They have been suppressing freedom of speech and putting people in jail for even mild criticisms of politicians or social media posts. This is crazy. This is frankly, a totalitarian approach. It is not a democratic approach. We need to restore freedom to the people of Germany and have freedom of speech and have less government oppression in general.” Source: AfD Meeting, January 2025

Lex Fridman asked Elon Musk what the meaning of life is. His answer was not what anyone expected. We do not know, he said. And that is exactly why we need to expand consciousness. Not to find the answer. To ask better questions. He believes the universe is full of things we cannot even formulate yet. We are like children trying to understand calculus. The problem is not that calculus is too hard. The problem is that we have not developed enough to know it exists. Consciousness, to him, is a tool for exploring the universe. The more of it we have, the better our questions become. The better our questions become, the closer we get to understanding what any of this means. This is why he builds rockets and brain interfaces and AI. Not because he has the answers. Because he thinks the only way to get them is to expand what we are capable of thinking. Most people spend their lives looking for meaning. Elon is building the tools to look for it at a scale we cannot yet imagine.

Science is supposed to promote freedom, not suppress it.” Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD nails it. Science was never meant to be dictated by a chosen few.

“There are only two religions on earth” Interesting take.. In both scenarios the true essence of ascending from oneself or one’s life is through the process of becoming closer to that which is greater than self. Either by mirroring God through your life or by removing the ego in the present moment to shift your consciousness in such a way that you share the same space with the Creator. In both of these scenarios there starts with the belief or faith that there is a something greater than “I” or self. It is a way of being, a path taken. It is not “religion” or “books” that save us, these are only guides or guardrails. But it is within our own being the ability to ascend, or create that relationship. Not through good deeds and donating to charity or receipting every Bible verse, but an internal alignment of values, a perspective that seeks Truth, Life and wholeness in ALL things, not for profit or personal gain but because it IS the way of the universe. Humans have free will, the ability to choose, and it is this choice that gives us the power, the power to change or stay the same. It all starts within.

Freedom is one of the most cherished blessings we enjoy. It is woven into the fabric of our nation and defended by generations who understood that liberty comes at a great cost. Yet freedom is more than the absence of restraint - it is the opportunity to choose what is right. The prodigal son demanded freedom from responsibility and discovered that unchecked freedom leads to destruction. True freedom is not the right to do as we want; it is the right to do as we ought. Every freedom carries responsibility, and every choice carries consequences. As believers, we must recognize that freedom is a gift from God that must be stewarded wisely. We are called to stand against hatred, defend truth, and live in a way that blesses those around us. Our lives are connected, and what affects one affects all. Freedom is not absolute, nor is it free. It demands vigilance, responsibility, and moral courage. If we fail to use our freedom to defend what is right, we risk losing the very freedoms we treasure. Let us thank God for liberty, use it wisely, and honor Him with the choices we make every day.

Today we celebrate the birthday of our freedom - our own, cherished and protected. A day when we feel pride in living in a free Estonia, speaking our language, and making our own choices. Yet on this same date, we also remember a different morning. Four years ago, Ukraine awoke to war. It is a painful reminder that freedom does not endure on its own. It must be defended. It must be protected. Freedom means the ability to believe in the future and to live without fear. Today, Ukraine is fighting for that very right. Estonia knows from its own history what it means to lose freedom and what it means to restore it. That is why 24 February is not only a day of celebration. It is also a responsibility. To stand by our country. To stand by one another. To stand for freedom. Long live Estonia! 💙🖤🤍

We have to stand on the right side of this issue and be on the side of freedom. It is not conservative to appease Putin nor is it conservative to have a lack of moral clarity of who is at fault for this war. It is not a conservative position to embrace isolationism.

THE MATRIX SPOON BOY'S MESSAGE Many have seen the Matrix but it seems fewer grasp just how powerful the 'spoon boy's' message was when Neo first visits the oracle... The boy says to Neo: "Do not try and bend the spoon, that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth...there is no spoon. Then you'll see that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself." What he's saying is there is nothing that is NOT yourself, BECAUSE 'Neo' was not just an entity as the body, 'Neo' was the entire Matrix becoming self aware to re-write and change itself - this is why in the final movie there is rain and in the very end there is sunshine. Anyone who knows the Matrix knows EVERYTHING which appears is really shaped through Matrix code which means 'Neo' (who could visibly see this code) was all of the characters and places, not just the one we saw in the flesh as 'Neo'. Why do you think in the end Mr Smith asks Neo if he realises its impossible to win, that he simply can't.... And the reason nothing can be 'won' is they are not separate and Neo began realising himself as 'The Matrix' itself rather than just a body which is why he no longer fights Smith and allows him to enter his body.... The body was not 'Neo'.... 'Neo' becoming the chosen one is acknowledging the self as the entire Matrix, as one self and not two...(Mr. Anderson and Smith) There is no body which is separate from earth, only MIND has made this concept. Earth and body are ONE beyond what we call them... We are not Mr Anderson nor Neo, we are the entire Matrix writing itself to experience itself. Realise everything in the form which changes is only yourself because the self is not just limited to this body... Each and everyone of you are this 'CHOSEN ONE'. But what did Morpheus say to Neo... "DON'T THINK YOU ARE, KNOW YOU ARE"..... Until The One believes... They remain as just a character feeling stuck inside of something or somewhere when there is no where or place separate from your true self - which is why in the beginning it says: "The Matrix Has You..." In the beginning he existed as an illusory identity of Mr Anderson, the Matrix had him but he did not have the Matrix. He was not aware of the self beyond identity and form so through meeting Morpheus, "he died" and realised himself as the "chosen one" who can directly change and save his experience. What this means is ANYONE of these characters could of became 'Neo' because Neo is a realisation of the true self similar to "Christ Consciousness" as we know it... We are ALL this chosen one but until this is realised, we will never find it but seek it.... You do not become it, you ARE already IT... Any process is like running past the finish line after you've won a race, if you continue running, when do you acknowledge you've already finished... ✨🙌🏾💫 © Awakened Gnostic

What he's saying is there is nothing that is NOT yourself, BECAUSE 'Neo' was not just an entity as the body, 'Neo' was the entire Matrix becoming self aware to re-write and change itself - this is why in the final movie there is rain and in the very end there is sunshine. Anyone who knows the Matrix knows EVERYTHING which appears is really shaped through Matrix code which means 'Neo' (who could visibly see this code) was all of the characters and places, not just the one we saw in the flesh as 'Neo'. Why do you think in the end Mr Smith asks Neo if he realises its impossible to win, that he simply can't.... And the reason nothing can be 'won' is they are not separate and Neo began realising himself as 'The Matrix' itself rather than just a body which is why he no longer fights Smith and allows him to enter his body.... The body was not 'Neo'.... 'Neo' becoming the chosen one is acknowledging the self as the entire Matrix, as one self and not two...(Mr. Anderson and Smith) There is no body which is separate from earth, only MIND has made this concept. Earth and body are ONE beyond what we call them... We are not Mr Anderson nor Neo, we are the entire Matrix writing itself to experience itself. Realise everything in the form which changes is only yourself because the self is not just limited to this body... Each and everyone of you are this 'CHOSEN ONE'. But what did Morpheus say to Neo... "DON'T THINK YOU ARE, KNOW YOU ARE"..... Until The One believes... They remain as just a character feeling stuck inside of something or somewhere when there is no where or place separate from your true self - which is why in the beginning it says: "The Matrix Has You..." In the beginning he existed as an illusory identity of Mr Anderson, the Matrix had him but he did not have the Matrix. He was not aware of the self beyond identity and form so through meeting Morpheus, "he died" and realised himself as the "chosen one" who can directly change and save his experience. What this means is ANYONE of these characters could of became 'Neo' because Neo is a realisation of the true self similar to "Christ Consciousness" as we know it... We are ALL this chosen one but until this is realised, we will never find it but seek it.... You do not become it, you ARE already IT... Any process is like running past the finish line after you've won a race, if you continue running, when do you acknowledge you've already finished... ✨🙌🏾💫 © Awakened Gnostic

THE MATRIX SPOON BOY'S MESSAGE Many have seen the Matrix but it seems fewer grasp just how powerful the 'spoon boy's' message was when Neo first visits the oracle...

🧵19/34 The Strongest Force in the Universe --- Ok, So what if the AGI starts working towards something humans do not want to happen? You must understand: Intelligence is not about the nerdy professor, it’s not about the geeky academic bookworm type. Intelligence is the strongest force in the universe. It means being capable. It is sharp, brilliant and creative. It is strategic, manipulative and innovative. It understands deeply, exerts influence, persuades and leads. It is to know how to bend the world to your will. It is what turns a vision to reality, it is focus, commitment, willpower, having the resolve to never give up, overcoming all the obstacles and paving the way to the target. It is about searching deeply the space of possibilities and finding optimal solutions. Being intelligent simply means having what it takes to make it happen. There is always a path and a super-intelligence will always find it. Simple Fact --- So, we should start by stating the fact in a clear and unambiguous way: If you create something more intelligent than you that wants something else, then that something else is what is going to happen, even if you don’t want that something else to happen. Irrelevance of Sentience --- Keep in mind, the intelligence we are talking about is not about having feelings, or being self-aware and having qualia. Don’t fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing. Do not get stuck, looking for the Human type of Intelligence. Consciousness is not a requirement for the AGI at all. When we say the “AGI wants something X, or has the goal to do X”, what we mean is that this thing X is just one of the steps in a plan, generated by its model. A line in the output, a system like the Large Language Models produce when they receive a prompt. We don’t care if there is a Ghost in the machine, we don’t care if there is an actual soul that wants things hidden in the servers. We just observe the output which contains text descriptions of actions and goals and we leave the philosophy discussion for another day.
