Observation Always Overrules Speculation
Once we start along the path of theories, there is no end to it. Speculation adds complications and division. Only pure observation, common to all, is trustworthy. That pure observation is pure awareness – the first moment when we look and see, before we speculate and adopt.
When we wrap ourselves up in conventional thinking, we never stop. What keeps us in conventional thinking? Fear. “Better the devil you know, than the devil you don’t”…
There is no devil. What we don’t know is that we are knowingness itself. Maybe we don’t want to be that free because we’ve got used to servitude.
To go beyond is to realise that we do know, because we re-cognise the truth. To do this, we just have to stop – and that is meditation. Meditation isn’t a yogic affair conjuring up mystical effects; it is calming the mind and bringing it to stillness. When clarity shines, we shine, because we re-cognise that we are, in truth, pure awareness.
Speculation is spurious guesswork.
Observation is obvious.
