Hi Jade,

 

What do you honestly know is true within? Even from your scientific

background or perspective?

 

In looking at your surroundings, you see many different physical

structures, made up of different densities, different colours,

different textures, different shapes etc. This is what makes up our

environment, the physical universe. In taking a microscope to these

structures we see that they are built up of finer and finer

structures. We name these structures molecules, atoms, sub-atomic

particles, right down to the structureless quantum, the invisible

unit in which wave forms may be emitted or absorbed.

 

So the entire physical universe is simply a sea of quantum, an ocean

of this emptiness, manifesting itself in form. This is raw reality.

Existence as is.

 

Is the solidity of a rock not mearly a perception? Is a rock really

solid? To a microscopic form of life, the atoms are miles apart, and

it is anything but solid. Microscopic life could waltz right through

the middle of a rock without a second thought, while we would

continue to perceive it as solid. What makes our view more factual

and reality based than this microscopic being?

 

Colours are just varying wavelengths of light, of which we can only

see a certain spectrum. A snake is able to see ultra-violet rays, but

we can not. Dogs can hear higher pitched sounds that we are able to.

So reality exists as is, but must be experienced through the only

form we currently have available to us, our physical bodies, which

shapes our very experience of it.

 

When we have an issue, where does it exist in this reality? When we

are offended or annoyed by someone, what is this offence or annoyance

we feel? Where does it come from? It does not stem from what is

real. It does not stem from absolute reality. It stems from " our

own personal " reality. It's all about what we want, what we think is

right, about how circumstances effect us, about " our " truth, our

reality. And it is an illusion. It stops us from " knowing " truth.

 

When you look at what you honestly know is true within, what do you

see? You may say that you do not see anything, you do not " know "

anything for sure.

 

There is only one way to know absolute truth, and that is by

internally letting go of your illusion. When you are letting go

internally and resting you head inside, what is it you are letting go

of or resting from? It is always letting go of an illusion, of an

issue or activity you have been holding onto. It cannot be anything

else. How can absolute reality be let go of? It just is what it is,

as is. You cannot change or damage absolute truth.

 

Holding energy is always false, it is ego based, no matter what it is

you're holding into, no matter how positive or loving that issue may

be.

 

So if you think you don't " know " anything, just look at that tiny,

tiny little bit you do know is true, and that is to just let go.

 

As Nisargadata puts it:

 

" To know that you are neither body nor mind, watch yourself steadily

and live unaffected by your body and mind, completely aloof, as if

you were dead. It means you have no vested interests, either in the

body or the mind. "

 

You can not let go much more than that
