RE: That which shines alone, allowed "not" to appear

[Guest guest]

Thank you Harsha for pointing to *This*,

shining without any need for support ...

 

And what exactly is *This*, which

shines alone, leaning on nothing?

 

That which is always what is, which can't

be the same as those things that come and go,

nor something different from those things.

 

Those things seem to be, because it allowed

itself to perceive "negation", which

gave a space for "affirmations" (such

as "I am", "I know this to be this") ...

 

When it realizes itself, it is only

being itself, and it never has been

anything else.

 

Thus, realization isn't a realization,

nor an experience, for those can

only be affirmed if "negation" has

been allowed ...

 

This is only that which never could be "not" ...

so has never been affirmed. It allowed

all things to appear, by allowing "not" to

appear ...
