We’re Not Going Up To A Higher State

We’re not going up to a higher state;
we are coming down from a state of stupidity.

Because of belief, we think in terms of ‘higher’ and ‘lower’ – that we’re in a lower state and have to get higher. It’s the opposite; we’ve been puffed up with information that we habitually accept as being true, when this keeps us in ignorance of what we, in reality, are.

Religions use exotic words for a simple experience of just being aware. Our confusion is that we think we are aware, which obscures … literally just being aware. ‘Just’ means there is nothing else.

Our conduct should be one of simply relating, and then dropping. 
Our human problem is relating and holding on, which leave us in the state of pride.

And pride gets us high!
