Why Humans Do Not Understand What They Are

The majority of humans on this planet don’t know or understand what they are. Why not? Most us believe that we are the sum of all our experiences – something unique. So we dwell on the past, following our script while never realising what we are now, which is pure consciousness – and nothing to do with our thoughts.

The feeling that people are so unconscious intensifies after personal realisation. When the view begins to clarify, the contrast between consciousness and unconsciousness becomes stark and painful to witness.

Seeing in this way is not a judgement. It is recognising spiritual blindness, even in the spiritually minded who make pure consciousness into an act.

When we understand this, compassion arises.
That is the hallmark of realisation.

Dwelling on the past is futile diligence. Even the Buddha’s words are to be investigated now in orderto experience them now.

Pure consciousness cannot be thought about
as it is pure consciousness which is viewing those very thoughts.
