The Knowing

There are two ways of knowing things, knowing them intuitively and knowing them conceptually.

The knowledge that we have by eating rice is of a different quality and is superior to our knowledge about rice before having tasted it.

No one can do more than lead you to the door of the sanctuary, invite you to enter and bow and depart.

One will never reach their own care except through the very depth of their being.

The essence sees the essence in the essence through the essence.

The mind deals exclusively with the known.

The known means the past.

If something is known, it was known at some point prior to this moment.

As such, the mind is a product of the past.

The first thing known was "I am". Before that,

nothing was known.

All so-called knowledge is subsequent to it.

Abidance is the first thing known will take you where you need to go.

Go to that place were nothing is.

It is there that everything, in fact, is.

Penetrate this space.

You will vanish from yourself.

Then, only the authentic YOU will remain,
