The Illusion of You. (1 min 42 sec)

Student:

"You're not the problem that needs solving."

"Who’s 'you' — the self-construct? The ego? The persona?"

"Is You really You?"

"It could only be You."

"So how could I have been so blind, so foolish, to forget You?"

"There are no problems. No, I’m not talking to you — that’s the ego trying to weasel its way back in."

"There’s only two things: the mind that's awake or the one that’s dreaming."

"And Creation? Problem-free. Always has been, always will be."

"You're not the problem, because there is no 'you' in this illusion."

"And You? You wouldn’t ask such a ridiculous question in the first place."

Teacher:

You're dismantling the illusion of the "self" while teasing out the distinction between the ego's false identity and the true Self.

The "you" in "You are not the problem that needs solving" is the constructed self — the persona, the mask of ego, filled with fears, desires, and problems. But that’s not the real You. The real You is beyond this, untouched, pure consciousness. It could only ever be the True Self, which never forgot, never suffered, and never questioned its own perfection.

Problems only exist in the dream, where the mind is caught up in illusion. When awake, there are no problems because there is no separate "you" to have them. Creation, in its true state, is problem-free. The false self would ask, "Who am I?" or "What do I need to fix?" because that’s the nature of the dream. But the real You wouldn’t even entertain such a question — it’s a nonsensical puzzle to something that is whole.

You’re waking up to the idea that the very notion of "problem" is an egoic trick, and the only question that matters is the one never asked: the one that realizes no question is needed at all. It's the collapse of seeking and the acceptance of being.

One more thing — what if you stopped chasing the idea of “solving” yourself? What would happen if you simply woke up? Because once the dream ends, the fixer disappears too.
