Nothing Can be Taught or Learned

Discussion becomes communion when two individuals approach a circumstance with a mind that is free of the illusion of knowing. When both are free of belief and conclusion then there is an atmosphere of understanding that is not the result of a mind that is seeking conformity or reconciliation. A person must realize that you cannot "teach" another what you know or impart to another some sort of self indulged wisdom. Many people make claims of being able to heal psychologically or physically through some spiritual or new age alternative medical or spiritual procedure. But in reality all they do is create dependency in the mind of the one they claim to help. If you are totally free then you may have the realization that only you can come to self realization that frees the mind and is therefore not the result of the influence of another. People who claim to help whether a guru or self proclaimed healer only create a co-dependency of self perpetuating conflict. What is accumulated becomes a reliance on the repetition of an idealized practice. Such activity keeps one from seeing into the depths of ones own mind, and from realizing an intelligence that transcends the formulated hypnosis of so called masters and guru's. One must leave behind the clever intuitions of those that seek a following through an identified and defined system of learning. Truly, nothing can be imparted to you through any kind of practice or system that transforms the essence of your being. Transformational illumination comes from within when one has negated all outside influences, including the influence of the self that has been subjected to and brainwashed by all manner of viral ideology.

A person must be psychologically removed from the influences of the claims of self indulgent and self proclaimed "adepts". One should stay with ones "original" realizations and not seek the fantasy of what another has or claims to provide. A practice always remains a practice, it can never become what it is not. To practice Buddhism or any other spiritual or psychological pursuit is to deny the possibility of realizing the true self. The true self lies not in a system or practice but in the negation of the one who seeks. Because what he or she seeks is the illusion of the self created and self absorbed. A person must realize that nothing needs to be added, that one is complete within the existence of what is. One is a Buddha, it is the illusion of a mind that is seeking and projecting that keeps one in darkness. Nothing can be added to that which is in essence emptiness.
