Considering about your self is the cause of self-ignorance.
Pondering is for interaction with the world about us, because we cannot encounter it straight (and consequently not at all) we have to ‘think about it’ to interact with it. Nonetheless, you can experience your self as a result there is no want to think about oneself. Considering ‘about’ yourself is incorrect. Analysing you is not a function meant for thought. Pondering about your self is the cause of self-ignorance, for such considering distracts you from the only factor you can knowledge straight – your self as a result the only factor you can actually know.
In what specific way do you know oneself? It is the felt sense of each and every part of you, that you know oneself as. It is a dynamic knowing of physical sensations continuously stimulated by the atmosphere, and as it modifications you know it, for it is the extremely sense of you, the extremely life that you are.
There is no division in getting you. Only when you ‘think about you’ do you produce the knowledge of a division. You develop a division in between believed and sensation. In between realizing your self as you are – amongst the living knowledge of oneself and the dead empty lifeless thoughts about your self.
Certainly becoming a issue is to know the point. Being ourselves, these living organisms, certainly there is no question of being aware of and not realizing that factor. You do not know yourself, you know of or about things that are separate to you. Realizing is for these other items – everything else but you. Being aware of is shallow. It does not touch or have immediate get in touch with with what it knows about. But that is the ideal we can do in regards to every thing else – but not for ‘you’. It is a mistake of our shallowness to apply believed, which is being aware of – to know or understand ourselves.
The words being aware of or understanding are not strictly right when it comes to ourselves.
It is not achievable to not know oneself – to not recognize oneself. In regards to your self this is (you are) the only point in existence to which these two words can’t be applied. As there is no division in you – you can’t be separate from you as a result you can’t not know yourself. At most you can be distracted in thoughts about your self, but within your self remains the continual felt self-proof of you. You can’t escape that. Therefore to ‘not know’ DOES NOT APPLY.
At every single moment of your existence if you do not think about oneself or other factors, what do you have then? You have the dynamic, ongoing self-evident, living evidence of ‘all about you’. No believed of knowing comes close to that or ever will. It, thought – is not for addressing or describing or even expressing what it is to be you. That is why it is so frustratingly ineffective as a tool of self-expression. It – thought can’t, does not totally or genuinely or effectively express or capture you at all.
The point at which you drop yourself.
If you are pondering about yourself you produce the experience of becoming once removed from your self in thoughts about yourself. In that state and instant of being distracted from your immediate sensate encounter of oneself – you are momentarily oblivious, to varying degrees, to the living encounter of your extremely existence inside which and only within which you have the whole sense of all there is to know about you. And as soon as you move from the sense of this into the thoughts about this, you shed it, do not you. You drop sense of the living essence and all significance of you as you momentarily degrade into preoccupation of and with a thought description of you, which is all that knowing is.
Inside the extremely sense of you there is practically nothing of you missing. It is all there, is not it? No matter whether you like it all or not is irrelevant. It doesn’t modify the fact that it – all of you – is all there in the solid, self-evident felt sense of you in the flesh.
As it is all there, becoming undistracted from that, it becomes totally apparent that in regards to your self there is absolutely nothing to realize. Understanding has an completely different which means and kind in here, inside your self.
There is not the opposite of misunderstanding or not understanding. In the felt sense of your self, this living organism, cost-free of believed distraction, there is nothing to be understood for that really notion implies ‘to not understand’ is feasible and that understanding is relevant, which in the case of ourselves exclusive to every little thing else it is not. Understanding is for moments, events, things other than the issue that we are.
I am in fact the only existing issue (of course there are no other issues other than current items) so I am the only existing issue I can’t apply being aware of in any kind of understanding too.
