The mind arises from this unknowable place and is an expression of it. You are an expression of the unknowable.
This is not enlightenment, the concept of enlightenment is far too attached to concepts, dogma, sexy ideas and belief. There is no word for it, its simply this; what you are experiencing now. You don't need a reason to be alive or to do anything, you just are and you just do. I don't need to sugar coat this and I don't need to lift you up, I don't need to add or take away anything from you. I just need you to be and you will see. Let life take you and let the experience take you. Live from this place. Anytime you put a label on reality, on what you are doing, on a relationship, on a simple interaction or moment alone, whether it be negative or positive; you are limiting reality. When you cling to these labels and think them the basis of your experience, you are limiting reality. You are not experiencing it fully and opening yourself up to the fullness of every moment that is there for you to be a part of. Look within from this place of detachment and peace. You will know what you truly desire from this life and you will get it. Not from a neurotic, needy and scarce place. From an abundant, calm and confident place of simply knowing and trusting. Faith if you will. If you want to express yourself in any way, do it. There is nothing truly holding you back from playing as you want to play this game of life. You are breaking free from your mind, which is the only thing you need to be free of, nothing external can hold you in place unless you let it.

Observe as it reads the words on the screen, as it turns symbols into a sound or spoken word inside your mind. See that voice and do not judge it, do not label it, it is not you, it is just your mind executing one of its many incredible abilities.
All words, all concepts, all beliefs and all labels that have been given to the external and supposedly internal world are just that; labels. With those labels comes judgements. We are essentially taking that which is formless and giving it form. Without these labels and judgements our world seems to become one. Try looking at your hand for an extended time, notice what your mind does almost instantaneously as your eyes meet your hand. It labels your hand as "My hand." Why does this matter you may ask? How can this noticing be of any benefit to me? This is one of the most fundamental ways in which you are not seeing reality clearly. Reality is being constantly distorted by the concepts, beliefs, judgements and labels that you place on it. With the rise of VR, comes the rise of a realisation to those who are open to seeing it. You almost exclusively live in a virtual world where you are setting the parameters and creating limits on reality and subsequently yourself. Remove these limits by detaching yourself from your mind and from its labelling. See it for what it is; a tool and a way of navigating reality. Dis-identify from the machine and take off the VR glasses. See reality, yourself and every living thing in existence, hell - the universe as it is. The levels of this seeing raise as you dive deeper into reality. Each and every form is connected. The only division exists in your mind. |
