The End of the World

How long it took you to get here
To the end of the world
Finding that it was not what you expected
But the end of who you thought you were
The end of what you never were
Thinking you were the sufferer
In a suffering world 
Only to discover that your individual self never was
Nor was it ever real
As illusion evaporates before awareness
Leaving only That Which Is
That which has always been
Even before the world itself; the dream that never was
Now absolute awareness sees
Individual consciousness was but a conceived, selective thought
No person exists to contain universal consciousness
Nor is there any independent reality as “thought”
Truth perceived compares to nothing
For true awareness is beyond the mind
All That Is – is this awareness;
There is nothing else
Without imperfection, for there is no imperfection
Nothing better, nothing worse, no heaven , nor any hell
Nothing to get, nothing to add
And nothing to get from anything
There is simply no doer to do anything
Where there is no self, even “meaning” is meaningless
Knowing this is the great liberation, the spiritual rebirth, the true resurrection :
Absolute freedom from all attachment, need, and bondage
One is not looking at the void; One is  the void itself: the Absolute, the Ultimate Self, “God”
And since there is no ‘other’, and because It Is alone
It cannot be said to exist
For there is nothing other that lends support to an existence that is not I Am
That awareness which witnesses the end of the world
