Ignorance and truth

In ignorance, we believe in a division between self, world and God. We interpret perceptions arising within the wholeness of our being as referring to duality and a multiplicity of objects. Seeing the world through the bars of this "cage of concepts", everything appears fragmented. This division is only an idea, though. In our directly observable experience, there are no thick, cartoonish lines separating things.

There is the field of awareness in which appear forms, patterns and sensations. It is one, undivided movement--no seer and seen but SEEING, no knower and known but KNOWING. This is utterly simple. Concepts cannot aid one in seeing this. It is undeniably the case. No special experience is needed for it to be so--it is so now.

Who or what is it that experiences?

If you say "me", meaning--the collection of perceptions of thought, body and feeling, isn't that also an experience? "The body" is experienced the same way "the world" is. It appears as an object within the field of vision. It is the perceived. What perceives it?

Consciousness.

By what is consciousness known? Consciousness comes and goes. By what capacity is this known? Nothing can really be said about this undifferentiated awareness. In that simple, all-knowing background, words have no meaning. This is the undivided absolute. Always present, even amidst the seeming chaos of life. Everything we see is only the shifting patterns of light, radiated within this singular reality. You cannot escape, become, control or do anything with this. It is "one without a second". It is all there is.
