WE CANNOT BE WHAT WE SEE
We Cannot Be What We See
We see things, and we see the mind commenting on these things, so we are therefore neither this mind nor our things. We are the empty essence of mind, the clear space of clarity, pure consciousness.
Our identification with thoughts and things creates the basis of suffering through hope and fear, gain and loss. It is this identification which we call ‘self’ – our personal prison that the collective believes in, and which is the cause of animosity towards others as we all identify differently.
No oneness, know division.
Know oneness, no division.
We can say that we are social beings, but not be taken in by others’ sense of ‘normal’; that is just the security of the herd. Not being deceived by impressions, we can, however, be both sociable and wise.
Deception isn’t our first nature.
We acquired it through hope and fear,
while ignoring our first nature of pure consciousness.
