Knowing We Are Wrong Is The Truth

What we think we know is never the truth; it is something consciousness is relating to. Remember that truth is that which can never change and is the observer, the knowing, without there being a knower and a thing known. This can sound mysterious, but it’s quite simple to realise in the clear space of meditation.

There are two aspects to our being; mind-essence and mind-memories. Mind-essence is the brilliant, empty, cognisant space of pure consciousness. It’s like the blank page on which these words are written, and is full of potential. Pure consciousness merely observes, without the need for an observer.

Mind-memories are the collections of ideas that are speckles of concepts floating and sticking in this cognisant space. Consciousness attaches to these mind-memories because it has ignored its purity, and become dull and fixated.

Purity isn’t someone holy. It is merely uncontaminated perception, as in that first moment of seeing when we open a door, before we decide whether it’s warm or cold.

It doesn’t matter what we think we know, it will always be a relative truth, something to which consciousness relates, defends, turns away from, or is indifferent.

Knowing we are wrong is the truth of the matter.
Knowing we are right is the truth of the matter.

What we do with this knowing
is down to our ability to bring harmony and balance
back to the thinking mind of memories.
