How Quickly We Forget

How quickly we forget 
– and how quickly we can remember –
the first instant of perception. 

That is the puzzle we live in.

That instant of remembering is our reality of pure consciousness. This is the eternal struggle of good and evil. 

It is most important to remember that, if we believe, we forget. Belief is a mental state of relating to some thing by just accepting it as truth, without proof. Belief carries us off, and that’s why we become emotional.We look, see and grasp, and our original moment is forgotten. 

We can instantaneously remember what we are by not becoming caught up in distraction, even if it’s a nice distraction, a ‘holy’ distraction. Just drop it. Whatever was seen is still present, but we’re no longer enmeshed in it, and so we remain completely aware.

Humanity is caught up in cleverness, 
while never realising that it’s actually caught up in forgetting.

Pure consciousness is not something we have to do;
it’s what we already are.
