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.
