Not a Continuance
Can you realize something in the moment that is not a continuance, something that is totally new and without a point of reference? Is there an attentiveness to the space between two word thoughts that is without relationship or a defined movement? Within that emptiness is a realization that cannot become part of the known. Because the mind is always in a state of conscious or unconscious movement that constantly seeks the known and defined, it is difficult to realize something that is a non-movement. We want to somehow capture it and give it meaning. We want to make it a point of reference, a defined something to be sought. This is in essence why it cannot be taught or learned, because it is beyond mind. All one can do is be aware of the minds movement and realize all the various nuances of thoughts acquisitive and destructive nature. When you see and realize the essence of minds duality and how that it constantly seeks to justify and define, then you will start to realize freedom. But that freedom will not be an activity of a mind that wants to acquire the ideal "freedom". It will be simplicity that is the outcome of the negation of thoughts illusion of knowing.
Do you think that you have learned or had a realization that you can impart to another? Do you want to set yourself up as an authority who can guide and teach? If so then you are the most deluded of all. For as has been said before there is nothing to teach and nothing that can be learned. All one can do on this level is impart ones own confusion and contradiction to another. To explain is to define, and if you are clever enough with words, then you can fool people into thinking that you know something of the unknown. But it cannot be known. What is known is the folly of those that think they are an authority because they have a PhD. or have learned from a "Master". The simplest mind is the most aware in the moment. Out of that awareness is the simplicity of emptiness and realization of the true self. That which is beyond knowing and the known. Put away the idea that you know something or have experienced something that you can help others with. For you are the most likely to suffer the consequences of a mind that is closed and self indulgent. All you do is create opposition and suspicion. To know is to live in self illusion. The illusion of the authority of the self.
