Guest guest Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Sensation (the ability to be aware of stimuli) is a two way street. It discloses both other, and self. The hand that touches reveals, not only itself, but the touch, and that which it feels. Normally, we have an outward focus, and sensation becomes a one-way street, an arrow pointing to the world. It's when we let sensation lead us inward that we begin to recognize the infinity within. When we begin to dwell in the naked sense of being, we come to apprehend a knowing beyond words, and in this knowing, we get a glimpse of not knowing- an impenetrable darkness revealed only by the absence of knowing. Mysteriously, miraculously, we come to sense that lack of all knowledge as true nature. That this infinite not knowing has been reflected in knowledge somehow satiates our hunger for knowing. Great peace descends, " What is " is totally free. Free, even not to know, and to forget its own existence. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
