The Mud Is Just A Dirty Lens

When we seek the truth of phenomena, we ignore that which is seeking. As we continue to look for something more interesting, our lens becomes dirtier and dirtier, and so we cease to see with any clarity.

Seeking truth creates a duality of the subject (the seeker) and the object (the sought). By constantly striving for something more interesting, we introduce more dust in the form of fixations such as desire and attachment, muddying the lens of pure perception.

Our obsession with external answers blinds and binds us to confusion. The mud represents our psychological attachments, our rigid beliefs, our identity narratives and our desires for specific outcomes.

The path isn’t found by adding more information or adopting a better system. Instead, clearing the lens requires a radical letting go, ceasing the outward chase, allowing the mud of mental activity to settle naturally and resting quietly in the clarity of simple unattached awareness.

Just do it and see.
Then drop the seeing, and allow pure consciousness to pervade.

The mud is an illusion.
It can never obliterate consciousness.

Realising this is pure consciousness.
