Nirvana #1 Nirvana is samsara

     Nirvana is samsara. There is no need for distinction. No need for two words. No distinction between this human world or natural world we live in and nirvana. Nirvana is not a place, it is this place. It is life everywhere right now. It is thinking that what is good or right is separate from how we are that keeps us from seeing nirvana. It keeps us striving for future objects whether these objects are materials, or ideas, or relationships. As long as we are fully immersed in the delusion of separateness, we will not see nirvana, even though separateness arises in and is nirvana. Nirvana is interchangeable with any word. Everything is nirvana. One of the hardest things for us to learn is to be ok with who we are now. We are constantly upset with how things are. Always reaching for something different. The key to happiness is complete and total self-acceptance. This requires awareness of one's deepest self. The key to liberation is also realization of the nature of the self, which is also the awakening of the self to true nature or nirvana.
     Liberation is awakening from total immersion in egoic consciousness. Total immersion in separate-feeling identity and experience. Total immersion means that an individual always feels separate, whether it is subtle or obvious. Total immersion in egoic consciousness means that  an individual does not understand the true nature of reality. It means that the individual is completely immersed in striving and that they are completely immersed in attachment to form. They are wholly immersed in the experience/occurrence of personal needing and believing that life is about fulfilling a person's needs. They believe this is the true nature of reality. Finding fulfillment for the needy person. Realizing true nature means seeing through this delusion. It means seeing through personal attachment and personal striving. It doesn't mean overcoming them. It means seeing beyond them.
      If you can see beyond your personal striving and your personal attachments in any way, you see nirvana. To see beyond them at all is to see nirvana. They are the hindrances. To not be hindered by them at all in any way is for a spot to open in the mind that is nirvana. All that nirvana is, is life beyond these hindrances. Life beyond striving and attachment. It cannot be defined. It is the end of one season and the beginning of another. It is the end of total immersion in separate feeling consciousness. It is complete penetration of consciousness through delusion. Although it is not a complete eradication of delusion. It does not require a complete eradication of delusion to see through it. Nor does it require the eradication of negativity or suffering to see it, however much we may wish to abandon them entirely.
