Seeing-Knowing

SEEING that the ‘me’ is only a concept is IT.   There is no one that sees that there is no ‘me’.  Everything appears in the SEEING. There is ONLY ONE seeing happening.  The ME can’t see at all.  It is just an idea, a thought.  How can a thought SEE?
The problem is a repeating one. The ‘you’ that is believed in keeps asserting itself as being the ‘knower’ or the ‘seer’ etc.
If it is truly seen or recognized, without a concept of being a seer, that the ‘me’ is an appearance, then that cuts through it all. (Cheese or no cheese)
This CANNOT be contrived by the mind – and the mind cannot SEE. The body cannot see. A dead body has no ability to see or hear, taste or touch.
What is it that animates the body? LIFE. That life essence is what you are.
But the habit of going with what the mind translates and then projects out onto ‘the world’ (inner or outer world) is the sense of separation. It is ALL in the mind.
Awareness contains the mind. Mind is a concept attributed to awareness. There is NO MIND apart from the appearances of thoughts, concepts, memories and states or moods.
Where is the confusion? It is nothing but conflict between thoughts and held onto ideas etc. The one who claims these is a fiction. SEE that in the immediacy of its arising and don’t buy into it. The confusion will dissipate naturally. The pointers are NEVER addressed to a ‘person’. It is the natural intelligence that sees, hears, tastes etc.
What the mind translates from these impressions is ONLY images, appearance. They have NO substance and their ground is emptiness. See that.
It is only the mind that starts adding conditions and a story again – that is where the confusion re-enters. SEE it for what it is.
You can’t see through someone else’s eyes and you can’t just accept ‘beautiful pointers’.
If ‘you’ are dazzled by the beauty of some ‘pointer’ then the pointer has been missed – it has been taken up by the mind.
A ‘pointer’ cuts through the mind stuff and renders that mind stuff passive.  Doubts are removed naturally in the knowing presence, which is not a thought and so cannot be limited by any thought.
There is an unbound OPEN SPACIOUS ‘quality’ about ‘the mind’ or awareness when a pointer ‘calls forth’ recognition.   It is NOT a THINKING about anything.  It is immediate seeing.

These points are expressed thousands of times in various formations of words.   There is no one to claim anything.  No guru, no teacher and no pupil.
