Ataman is the true self and true self is ultimate reality or Brahman





Atman is the true self and true self is ultimate Reality. Just as the dream is superimposed on the Atman [F.W], the waking experience is also superimposed on Atman [F.W].  Thus the names and forms which appear as the waking experience or dream make up the superimposition. This is the unreal phenomenon. Thus the seeker has to realize the fact the burden of experience of duality is not on the `I', but on the formless witness of the `I'.
 
Atman is the unchanging, formless, non-dual Self.  The man within the waking experience thinks the physical body or `I' as self; but he is unaware of the fact that man and the world are present only within the waking or dream.  Thus man and the world are the part of the illusory waking experience.  Until man thinks himself as self and tries to view and judge the worldview he will not be able to grasp the knowledge of the true self .when one objectively sees this man and that man, this thing and that thing, and is deluded because he not aware of the fact that he and the world are within the waking experience. The author of the whole waking experience is the Atman, not the person. Thus it proves the fact that the burden of duality is not on the person within the waking experience but on the formless witness which witnesses the waking experience as a whole.
Man is entangled with something or the other in this world. The true self is not the man who perceives the world within the waking experience.  Until and unless this inherited delusion that man is self he is deluded by duality experience it as reality. Only when he analyzes the three states and becomes aware of the formless witness and realizes the fact that the formless witness which is Atman is the true self , then only he will be able to realize the fact that duality mere illusion and able to focus he attention on the Atman.
When one  relate his  identity with some idea, and he is  attached to that being `he ', then he  say that he is  old or young, parent or child, tall or short, rich or poor, etc… It is man's habit to take on identities and become attached to them…

Atman the true self is unattached, it isn't identified with any labels, it isn't attached to anything- it is not entangled with anything at all…'
When the seeker dives deeper through inquiry and reasoning on the true base, then he realizes the fact that the true self is neither `'I', nor `physical body '.  And also realizes the fact that `I' is the whole waking experience [mind].
When Again and again the seeker reflects on this; his conviction grows firmer. Further he realizes the Atman is eternal, and it is completely free of all bondage of experience of duality. Ataman is whole, and eternal - forever undecaying and indestructible…
Make Atman [F.W] as true self and waking experience is illusion as an Affirmation, for your-self. Remembering this reality whenever there is free time, gradually you'll find you start becoming disengaged and separate from waking experience by viewing and judging the worldview on the base of Atman as self. And when you will re-emerge into this world of tags and identity, you'll find yourself becoming detached and disinterested in the illusory waking experience of name and form….
The F.S messages are posted for this purpose so that by reflecting on them constantly the suggestion goes to the subconscious and it becomes receptive.  Again and again reflecting on the true self … through reading the messages reverses the thinking process to its source of the `I'. When one becomes aware of the fact `I' is not the self but the formless witness is the true self,   then you'll proclaim on the base of the true  self, `Nothing touches me, I am not tarnished by any feelings or impulses. I am not attached to anything at all…'
