Part 1: Maya, the illusion of the self
Samadhi is now more relevant than ever. We are at a time in history when we not only forgot Samadhi, but also forgot who we are. This forgetting is Maya, the illusion of the self. In an awakened individual, consciousness shines through personality, through the mask. When you wake up, you no longer identify with your character, your first sense, your personality. You don't believe that you are the mask you are wearing. But you don't stop playing a role either. When we are identified with our character, with our person, then the Maya, the illusion of the self. Samadhi awakens from the dream of your character, in the game of your life. You will become the conscious master of your life with strong willpower, love and awakened consciousness.

Part 2: It's not what you think
The world's greatest spiritual teachers, from antiquity to modernity, believed that the deepest truth of our being is not the result of a certain religion or spiritual tradition, but can be found directly in the heart and silence of every human being. No one can tell you what will come out of this silence. It is a call with your spiritual heart to awaken, grow and act. As Zen master Suzuki said: strictly speaking, there are no enlightened people, there are only enlightened actions. We can't see it just as the eye can't see itself. We can't see it because it's what it's possible to see. Just like the black hole, Samadhi is neither nothing nor nothing. It is the collapse of the duality of nothing and something, it is the awakening of consciousness. Samadhi Teil 2: Es ist nicht, was du denkst - Deutsch

Part 3: The pathless path
Sadhana or spiritual practice that leads to Samadhi has two fundamental aspects: The first aspect is the purification of self-structure through practices that shift energy out of conditioned patterns and pathological thinking. When energy is free, it facilitates greater connection, love and expansion into higher levels of the self or soul. What you think as "other" is integrated into you. Self-structure becomes like a knot in ever higher levels of mind. The second aspect of practice could be described as formless self-enquiry, which is about becoming aware of awareness; waking up with the realization that all levels of the self or soul are ultimately empty. Like the wings of a bird, these two aspects of sadhana, mindfulness and spirit emptiness carry one to Samadhi - the collapse of all duality. Samadhi Teil 3: Der weglose Weg - Deutsch
