It is only because you think you are an individual that you have problems, insecurities, anxiety, fears, judgement etc.
You think there is "you" a separate from the whole, and therefore you see others as separate as well, you do not allow your self to be your self, you do not allow your self to be vulnerable, you seek acceptance and you seek for people to not hate you, you want people to love you although you do not even love your self.
All problems in life stem from this illusion of individuality.
Did you ever thoughts that your bad thoughts are ALL personal? All your beliefs are PERSONAL? All your ideas, concepts, identity, imagination, everything is PERSONAL.
Your whole existence you believe your self to be personal. Something irrelevant happens and you say "this always happens to me" or "Why do they always treat me like this?" or "I always have these thoughts, I hate God!"
Every single thing you believe to somehow relate to you. Because you believe you are individual, you are extremely selfish. You try to take care of your self all the time, fearing life and others, because you can't accept your own self as the universe. You were conditioned to believe you are an individual which needs to have certain things, that you are thinking in this way, that you must have certain beliefs, that you must know some concepts and ideas in order to operate in the world. The truth is, you were taught these things by people who literally have no idea who they are and what they are doing in the universe.
You were taught and raised by people who think they are individuals. Obviously you were born as a whole, you were life, but you were conditioned to believe you are individual. You got an individual name, everyone in society treated you as individual, and you simply started believing you are individual. That is not true. Even now, you are life it self. You are the universe it self experiencing the universe. There is no individual identity, it is a lie, an illusion. It is all an idea made up by your head. It has nothing to do with reality. It is all one big thought construct, that you believed your self to be. Well, it is not true.
There is this identity which you currently believe your self to be.
There is an awareness of this identity that you believe your self to be, otherwise you wouldn't be able to say "I am this person", you would not be aware of your identity.
So there is an awareness of the identity, but even of this awareness you are aware, otherwise you wouldn't be able to say "Yes, that is correct, this is the identity I believe my self to be, and I am aware of that".
So, not only are you aware of the identity, you are aware of the awareness it self.
When you realize this, recognize this in your direct experience (You can try it right now) you will realize that you never were in the first place. It was just an idea in your head. It never had any reality, you just believed it to be true.
You are the witness of the awareness it self. Close your eyes, you see a black screen.
That black screen is awareness with no light, and you are not that awareness. You are the perceiver of even that awareness. You are the witness of the awareness it self. The truth is you have nothing to do with this world. You, the true you, was never born, you can never die in fact because you never were born. Because of this, you can't suffer either, because only an identity can suffer. Only who you think you are can suffer, but you are not that, as you are aware even of the awareness of that identity, the identity can't possibly be you. That is seen easily.
Once you realize this, recognize this in your direct experience, you will be able to see through all thoughts, all beliefs, all illusions and say "This is not me" because ANYTHING you perceive, can't be you, the perceiver. That is the truth and even a child can understand this. Nothing to think, nothing to imagine, nothing to conceptualize, nothing to complicate, it is a simple direct experience TRUTH and KNOWING.
Being aware of being aware is enlightenment. Currently you are aware of the identity, but you never questioned your self what you truly are, you never asked the question "Who am I" and searched, you always perceived a thought by the mind and immediately believed it without questioning it. Because of that you never were able to be aware of being aware.
Being aware of being aware is the ultimate reality of this existence. It is enlightenment. It is waking up from the dream. If you were to stay aware of being aware, naturally, automatically everything that is not you would slowly disappear into nothingness, until nothing is left except you, the witness of the awareness, the only truth. Everything else is a thought, belief, concept, emotion, sensation, all coming and going phenomena, anything that comes and goes can't possibly be you, as you are the one aware of these things coming and going. You can't be one of the coming and going phenomena. You are beyond change, you are the unchanging witness of life it self. You are life it self experiencing life. There is only life. "other" people only think they are individual, because they were conditioned to believe that. But it simply is false, you can EASILY see this.
Most are too attached to the ego and are slaves to the ego, that is why you see everything that is wrong with the world. They think they are separate and therefore they go and hurt others, not understanding that others are in fact them selves, as there are no others, only the one true self, which is life.
If all people were aware of being aware, we would all be treating others kindly, compassionately, lovingly, peacefully and joyfully, as the only truth is that we are all one, and we do not hurt ourselves. It is only when the mind comes and thinks "I am a separate individual" that all the bullshit appears to exist. It is not true. It is only a thought. You mustn't believe it. Overcome this stupid mind that keeps you from being your true self. You are beyond the mind.
The mind can't exist without you, consciousness, life, but you, life, can exist without the mind. Realize what you are, recognize it for your self and be your self.
You can't change the world but the only thing you can change is your self. You can be aware of being aware, and just that will completely change the world, as the presence of one aware presence is stronger and more influential on the whole universe than a thousand unconscious beings which are caught up and are being slaved by the ego, believing they have no power, believing they are depressed, anxious, judgemental, greedy, and believe that others are others instead of treating everyone as they would treat themselves.
