Which Spirit?

Liberation is the sudden collapse of the personal energy. In this collapse, the impression that something has to be found or achieved turns out to have been part of the illusion to be a separate entity. Liberation is not a spiritual event and it does not require any spiritual path or practice (though many have been on a spiritual path prior to liberation). What collapses is the spirit itself. There never was a spirit - or "I" or soul or self-awareness - and there was never anything missing. This book presents a collection of essays posted by Andreas on his facebook page over a period of five years. With his first essay in this book (There is no one), Andreas Müller has won the German Nahbell Poetry Prize, which has been in existence for 26 years.
