Uncompromised Pointing is rarely acceptable to the ‘seeker’.
Of course the ‘seeker’ is nothing but a misunderstanding and the ‘me’ cannot see or know anything.
Who does not understand? Everything is clear and obvious just as it is. Belief in ANY thought as being something that is separate and having some substance of its own is delusional – yet very common.
The One appears AS everything – there is nothing Wrong anywhere…….except thought makes it appear to be so.
The basic error is the belief in a self-center that actually, ACTUALLY has NO substance whatsoever. If you investigate this single FACT, the delusions of being separate disappears forever – BECAUSE it never actually existed in the first instant, and this first instant is NOW.
The erroneous belief in ‘me’ can NEVER be believed in again…………….and this SEEING is always NOW.
The witness is just a thought – The mind translates pure seeing into the words ‘I see’. And the thought ‘I see’ cannot, CANNOT see. Knowing that is all you need to know. That is true understanding, and it can NEVER be taken away from what you ARE, because it IS what you ARE.
There is ONLY ONE seeing happening. There is NO ‘maybe’ about it. There are not two eyes seeing. The MIND divides this one seeing-knowing activity into multiple perceptions of ‘things’ and states of being and into imaginary concepts about lacking. Casting oneself out of the ease and simplicity of what is simple and uncomplicated, ‘we’ jump upon a series of beliefs that appear to take us on a journey to something better. There is NO answer in the mind. There is no point in wandering about in the mind hoping to find an answer. You actually cannot ‘step out’ of this presence of now. You never did and you never will.
This blindingly obvious fact is ignored – in a preference for some insubstantial belief in second hand concepts, that SEEM to be a better or higher ‘place’ to be.
There is only one place to BE and that is HERE, NOW.
You cannot BE anywhere else, in FACT.
Mind is not dangerous – it is not the enemy. If you go down that path, all that waits for you is madness. All the mind needs is understanding. Understand the mind and it will serve you well.
Internal conflict is due to misunderstanding.
I would like to say…that I want to thank you with all my heart for pointing out relentlessly the same things. I would love to be established in this just like you. I know what you are going to say “that I am already established!”. Well, it does not seem like that from my point of view. I am very grateful Gilbert.
(Gilbert: Yes Pat, you know what I am going to say because you KNOW it. Look at the ‘my point of view’ and SEE what it is made of.
Start from the FACT that you are already THAT – that presence-awareness. If you start anywhere else, it will be a conceptualized ‘point’ and it simply has no substance without the belief in it. It is made of belief. Belief is made of energy. Retain the energy as the seeing and belief will fall away like a wart.)
