Can’t Think Straight

Thinking straight is direct perception,
rather than perception through preconceived ideas.

These preconceived ideas are our karma,
which limits understanding.

Thinking straight is observation through the senses
without comment or judgement.

Running our thumb across the cutting edge of a knife tells us all we need to know.
No thought involved – just immediate intuition.

That is consciousness open to experiences. 
That is pure consciousness.
