Realisation Is Nothing Special … Really
It’s a relief that it’s nothing special,
attainable only by those who are special.
Making pure consciousness special detracts from its ordinariness, which is unwavering from moment to moment. It is orderly.
Perception, via the senses, goes directly to consciousness which, through familiarisation, is realised as pure non-duality. There is just experience. It is from this position that we are aware of distractions, which are teachings. Consciousness – the mirror – and distractions – the reflections – are simultaneous. No judgement is present.
What is ‘special’ is that we ignore this direct, orderly process, and colour perception with memories collected from elaborated claims to be holy, special and wondrous, thus creating a fantasy. This brings about a division – a duality.
Realisation is the reality of just perceiving. We are led to believe that it’s so spectacular, and it’s a shock to realise that it is so simple,
Why would we think anything else?
If it’s made special, we won’t acknowledge its continuous presence, moment to moment.
