Liberation Is Not An Escape
Many people (If not all of them) come towards liberation as if it is something that will give them superpowers, make them gods, and live in peace and happiness for their whole lives.
Now that doesn't seem like reality to me, liberation is all about reality, seeing reality, and the truth, and it is pretty darn obvious that living in a state of constant bliss is not how reality is obviously.
What liberation does though, is give you clarity and get you real.
Since it is just seeing life, seeing the illusion that the thoughts produce, that is liberation, it is not something supernatural, or something "beyond"
It's actually nothing like that at all, it is seeing reality as it always has, it is something very simple.
All it takes is to just look at reality, search for a self everywhere, you will never find it, not even in this, now.
Seeing that illusion of the self as it is, is what is freeing, since there is no self to "do" anything, that self never did exist.
There was always just life, living, that's all, there was no you in any of that, and there is no you now.
Liberation is freedom, freedom to "be".
Now the one of the major things that stop people from actually getting liberated, is the expectation of something, expecting something extraordinary to happen, like suddenly waking up to find yourself floating on a cloud or something like that.
Well that doesn't happen, really.
There is just great clarity, and freedom, it's hard to describe, but what I am sure of is that it's nothing "extraordinary", as a matter of fact, it is the most natural and simple state.
One positive thing to do is to drop your expectations on liberation, that will distract you from actually being liberated, instead of expecting what the peak of the mountain will be like, look now, you don't have to reach there, it already IS.
You never did exist, it was all just a fallacy, an imagination of the mind, there is no such thing as a "me" and no such thing as a "you".
