To gain the awareness that one is freedom (moksha).

In reality, this awareness emerges and then fades away like clouds, hidden in the shadows. Nevertheless, the awareness deepens day by day. Suddenly, one realizes, "Ah," that one is free. One becomes aware of one's existence, whether it's called the soul, Purusha, or something else, but one is free.

This kind of awareness has existed to some extent before, but it hasn't been expressed so explicitly in words.

This is not just an intellectual understanding or an action, but a realization of being. The awareness of "Ah, (I am) a free being" transcends time and space to a certain extent, and it is because of this transcendence in consciousness that the awareness of freedom is obtained.

This awareness itself transcends time and space, so it is not bound by the past, present, or future, nor is it bound by space. However, as for this physical body and individual consciousness (the so-called Jiva), the awareness was not so strong in the past, and it will probably increase from now on towards the future. On the other hand, since the awareness obtained here transcends time and space, it has no tense and no spatial location. However, for someone with my level of understanding, there are still limitations in terms of tense and space. In principle, it has a quality that is not bound by time and space, and is not related to time or space, but that is limited. Therefore, one is not completely free from time and space, but one is free to some extent.

Regarding this, for example, people in the Vedanta school of thought say that their understanding of Moksha (freedom) is something like, "It has always been that way (everyone has always known it, understood it)." This expression may be confusing, but it is easier to understand if you distinguish between the individual sense of the Jiva and the sense of the Purusha that transcends time and space. From the perspective of the Jiva, which is a limited, time-bound, and illusory "I," time exists, so understanding exists from the present towards the future, and it is also limited in space. On the other hand, from the perspective of the pure spirit of the Purusha, it transcends time and space from the beginning, so the understanding there is itself transcending time and space. In theory, this is correct, and in terms of "understanding," it has always been that way. However, the awareness that manifests in conscious awareness does not occur until one has progressed spiritually to a certain extent.

Therefore, as Purusha, it is possible to transcend time and space from the beginning and "know and understand" from the beginning. However, in a situation where only the consciousness of Jiva exists, even if it was truly the case from the beginning, it is not possible to have self-awareness in the conscious mind. And how can one become aware and achieve a state that can be called "understanding"? It is when the Jiva purifies itself, and the purified Jiva and Purusha become one through what is called the Trinity, that this "understanding" descends into the conscious mind. Indeed, from the perspective of Purusha, it transcends time and space, so it can be said that it "knew it from the beginning."

The consciousness that knows the truth from the beginning, the consciousness that has "knowledge" from the beginning, is, in reality, the group soul to which I belong. The fundamental existence to which I belong knows this from the beginning, and that consciousness has entered me. Also, since the recent influx of Purusha, a new aura, like air, has gradually been entering, and as the aura gradually settles, self-awareness has deepened. Perhaps it is both, and as the aura gradually flows in, it settles and stabilizes, and awareness deepens.

A part of the group soul to which I belong enters me, and I gain an understanding that I was originally "free," that I was free from the beginning. Therefore, even if that understanding is expressed as "it was like that from the beginning," it does not change my past self as Jiva. My Jiva's conscious awareness of this "freedom" is from the present to the future, but from the perspective of Purusha, it has always been free (moksha). As the consciousness of Purusha and the consciousness of Jiva merge, the awareness of Purusha permeates the Jiva, and through that, the understanding is gained that I have always been free (moksha). The Jiva was simply mistaken, and the true self, Purusha, has always known that it is free. And that descends into the conscious mind, becomes self-aware, and the understanding is gained, "So, I am free (moksha)."
