Seeing-Knowing

But man, proud man,
Dressed in a little brief authority,
Most ignorant of what he is most assured,
His glassy essence, like an angry ape,
Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven
As to make the angels weep. – William Shakespeare.

There is NO entity in the manifestation, none whatsoever. This is clear and obvious. To introduce the concept of ‘God’ is completely misleading. The most arrogant idea is “Me and God”.
What we are talking about is Non Duality. There is only ONE.
So if there is a God then YOU must be that GOD.
Since the very concept of ‘God’ is obviously a concept, what on earth is anyone talking about when they say GOD.
The ONLY thing you can be absolutely certain of is the fact of your own being.

If this is what ‘you’ mean by the word GOD, why not use the word BEING instead. It is less confusing and does NOT imply an entity.
There are many so-called teachers who are very unclear in what they express. If they are not challenged by those who sit and listen to them, they will continue to mislead those who seek their own true nature.
Your true nature is clear and obvious – it is NOT in any concepts.
It is prior to any concept and basically it is the activity of knowing. There is nothing outside of this activity and nothing inside it either. Shakespeare using the words “man, most ignorant of what he is most assured of, his glassy essence’ is pointing to our true nature and also to the image of a self that is ignorance itself. All labels are from the translations of mind and are ONLY labels. Recognize in this instant, that the image of self CANNOT see.
If you cannot recognize that, take a look and try and find that image of self. And if you find it, who or what is finding it – via the activity of pure seeing?

Some guru says: “Simply welcome what is here and do not deny what is here.”

Who is going to welcome what is here? Who can deny what is here? What is actually here?   WHO is here?   The answer must be ‘ME’.

Well what is that me if not a mere image and a label or name?

The mind divides and assigns identity to THAT which is ONE, one immediate, clear and present activity of knowing.

There is nothing outside of this immediate knowing and nothing inside of it. There is actually no entity here to accept or reject anything.

Even to entertain such a concept is misleading due to the habit of belief.
Now, did you welcome these words, or did you reject these words?

‘We’ are so entrenched in belief in separation, the clear and obvious nature of the emptiness of phenomena is missed.
Belief in ‘me’ is the reference point that ‘creates’ duality.
Imagining that one can rejoin what appears to be separate is an illusion – because it has NEVER ever been separate.
There is no need to take a stand, to decide, to accept, to welcome or to deny anything.

This is so obvious (without thought) and yet it seems that everyone misses it, completely.
