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.

Content
Foreword
There is no one
The dream of separation
Peaceful already
No 'I' in the first place
What apparently happens
Life in Liberation
No answer to life
Tasteless and Irresistible love
A centre without substance
Free already
No experience of totality
This love
No one closer to completion
The seeking dynamic
Not some kind of dogma
Just no one left
No creating principle
Complete for no reason
Hidden from the seeker
Inexperienced and undivided
There is no one to begin with
As there is no one, there's no illusion
Being nor not-being
Completion and harmony remains
No prisoner at all
An empty appearance
Inexistent already
No one alive in the first place
The dream that cannot be escaped
No 'I' is living within us
It’s all in the dream
The sense of separation
The natural reality
The limitless sky
Plain awareness
No hidden truth
Never being yet apparently happening
Nothing needs to be transformed
A blind reality
Not relative to something else
Unconditional love
An empty happening
No one lost paradise
The person's dilemma
Wholeness was never left
What is left
There is no gaining
No message at all
Presence and absence become "none"
The seeking and the sense to be an ‘I’
There is no answer
No reality to inquire
Suffering
Love is the natural reality
This 'I' will never awaken
Wholeness isn’t made or done
The spirit is illusory
Just no real problem
No artificial letting go
No separate reality
Not knowing is not a state
An artificial struggle of an artificial person
Implode into no-thing
No enlightenment in the first place
Mediators on the way
There is no one to do so
Awareness is blindly itself
There is no effort
Nothing is outside of this wholeness
Apparent stories for an apparent centre
Acknowledgements
About the author
“There is no one means” that there is nothing separate from wholeness. This very direct “what seems to be happening” is the timeless and natural reality, However, it is not an experience for someone. Nothing can be found as there is nothing that has been lost. The seeker is the fantasy. The seeker is nothing but a dream.
Foreword
This book contains a collection of essays which have been published before. The first essay won the Nahbelln-Nebenpreis (a German poetry award) in 2024. The other essays are taken from Andreas' Instagram-, respectively Facebook-account. They have been published between 2023 and 2025.
What these essays point to, is very simple: The natural reality is nothing else than what seems to be happening. This apparent happening is whole and complete, boundless and free – and in a very surprising way it is simultaneously nothing and something. It is the ungraspable and it also is the distinct. This completion is way more direct than we could have ever imagined. While we were searching for a state of completion - an experience that can be known and owned - it is impersonal and unconditional. It needs nothing. It is 'what seems to be happening' that does not need anything.
It is also pointed out that the sense of unfulfillment and the sense of imprisonment are parts of the one and only illusion: The experience to be a separate self. All attempts to break free from the limitations of being a separate self are understandable from its point of view. The unfulfillment that the "me" apparently lives in, is a felt sense and within the experience of being a "me" it is an undeniable reality. This explains the need to break free and the wish to move into another - fulfilled - state of being. What the "me" cannot see is that itself is the root of the sense of unfulfillment. No matter what it tries in order to find this experience, it will fail. More importantly, it cannot see that itself is illusory. Its existence is illusory, its unfulfillment is illusory and all attempts to break free are part of that illusion as well.
"There is no one" means that the heart of seeking is illusory. Nothing can be found as there is nothing that has been lost. Paradise was never left. Paradise is this wild and impersonal dance of appearances. This dance is the ocean and the waves. This dance is the totality and the love while at the same time it is the meaningless and freedom that is longed for. Love and freedom can never be attained, because they are the undivided and natural reality already.
There is no one
The natural reality is a wonderful boundlessness and at the same time it is simply that what apparently happens. There is no deeper reality. There is no reality truer or more real that would be better or more harmonious than what apparently happens. That what apparently happens has no direction and no intention. It is simply just itself. Thereby it is total and complete and at the same time empty and meaningless.
Everything is this natural reality, there is no exception to this. Within this natural reality the experience seems to exist to be an ‘I’. Most people on this earth experience themselves as if they were ‘someone’. That's perfectly fine - and yet this experience is accompanied by the feeling that something is missing on a fundamental level. To be an ‘I’ means living in a feeling of lack. From this feeling of lack, we try to find a deeper truth. It doesn't matter where this truth is sought. Many think it lies in knowledge and understanding. Others think it lies in the possession of wealth and social status. Still others seek happiness in relationships and in a life of security or freedom. And many people go in search of truth and happiness within themselves. They search for truth in their thoughts, in their feelings or even try to realise their own self. Sadly, all these efforts fail. Instead of someone really arrives in a permanent state of contentment and happiness, life consists of an ongoing struggle. It’s the fight for survival on the one hand, but also a fight for this contentment and happiness. The hope is that at some point you will finally arrive, that everything is just fine. The hope is that at some point you will no longer have to fight for your happiness, but just be able to be happy in peace. Most people live with this longing and therefore it seems to be natural.
There are many ideas on how to combat this deficiency. Countless lifestyles are offered, countless methods and ideas prevail about the best way to live. But it just doesn't seem that any of these paths will bring lasting success. No matter how hard you try to do the right things, you continue to experience this lack and feeling of not having arrived yet.
What is being pointed out here is that this is all part of an illusion. The illusion is that there is an ‘I’ in our bodies. But there is no one there at all. It is the experience of being an ‘I’ which is an illusion. The feeling of lack is part of this illusion, so it is impossible for the apparent me to escape this.
