Experienced Learning

Once we have experience of something – like riding a bike – it is never forgotten. This is why the personal practice of meditation is essential to realise ultimate truth; theories are worthless, and sound worthless.

There are two approaches to anything, especially truth. One is when we learn theories, beliefs and hopes through stories, while the other is direct pointing-out from the outset (that’s if we are ‘lucky’).

Pointing out is what we are – pure consciousness. It’s reading these word right now, without comment. Observing phenomena without the distraction of thoughts is our ultimate reality. It is pure experience, and perfect peace in all that we engage upon. It’s that simple.

For some, it’s too simple, so we need further explanation. It’s a matter of preference, suitability and karmic propensity to behave in a particular way.

We do not learn from books; that is information-gathering.
Fixating on words and names is hearsay.

We learn from practising –
hands on
mind aware
attitude gone.
