Knowing not knowing.
We are pure embodied beings
of luminous consciousness
imprisoned in a karmic creation
of
our own ignorance.
There are two forces in this relative universe: good – knowing and evil – not knowing. In absolute terms, there is neither, as absolute is beyond opposites. We are dealing with our absolute nature in a relative existence, which is our path to realisation. Firstly, there is a need to understand our absolute nature before we can understand our relative nature – knowing the not knowing.
The way we approach this will depend on our temperament and capacity. Sometimes we need rigid guidelines, and sometimes we need nothingness. However, we have to be careful, as we can get rigid about nothingness…and then it’s not nothingness!
When knowing
gets glimpses of not knowing,
then knowing knows
..simple!
We have two potentials: Buddha nature and Demon nature. Compassion or lack of compassion.
If we get hooked by the three poisons – desire, aversion and ignorance – we find our demonic nature.
If we get hooked by the enlightened qualities of those same poisons, we find our Buddha nature.
The law of attraction
always works.
Knowing attracts knowing.
Not knowing attracts not knowing.
Every Demon knows there is a Buddha in the mud
and that’s what makes us grumpy.
You’ve got to laugh
because you’ve known all along!
