Our Problem: We Undervalue Clarity
Clarity is the essence of being.
The definition of the word ‘clarity’ is divine splendour; it’s that important.
We ignore the moment of clarity every time we become interested in someone, some thing or some words.
Clarity is clear seeing – the first moment of pure perception, pure awareness, pure consciousness.
The constant realisation of this is enlightenment; it’s that important.
Although we use the word ‘see’, we actually mean the moment the senses are perceived in the mind, and witnessed by consciousness. To truly experience that we are consciousness rather than merely acting out words, all pretence is dropped and we realise that consciousness is pure, empty of all contaminants.
When coming out of a dark place (whether a darkened room or a darkened mind) and into the light, perception is extremely simple, powerful and immediate … a wonder, a splendour. Oh! As it’s immediate, it is pure, empty of contaminating thoughts of identifying and naming. Clarity is staying in wonder, in amazement. It’s the moment of “What is that?” before “Oh, it’s that!” It’s an extremely subtle, timeless moment.
Looking or sounding clever is like being a vicar, a substitute. The word ‘vicariously’ means to copy, as we become dependent on others and their beliefs, with our view of life being downgraded through social engineering, social pressure, social ignorance.
When we look for the ultimate truth, we miss the whole point by looking for some idea of divine splendour when it has been simple clarity of mind all along. Clarity of mind is pure consciousness. It is divine, pure, godlike, supreme being.
It isn’t out there.
It’s right here,
right now.
