The Medium Is the Message

[Guest guest]

he medium is the message. That, in which every

phenomena is manifested, is always the same at

all its points. It's exactly the same at the point that

it contains a sage than at the point that it contains

a fool, or a bug.

 

Realization and delusion are just points of view,

they depend on whether the message monopolizes

the view, or not. Once the pervasive medium

comes into view, and the message (phenomena)

becomes a sideshow, the job is done. There is no

more to realize than that. This could be pointed out

in mystical terms, as well as in physical terms. Call

the medium: Awareness, or Self, God, space, the

void, or what not, names are just names. It's the

seeing that counts as long as there is life.

Seeing is pretty much It. Seeing based solely on present evidence, not

beliefs, or, previous conditioning. Once that kind of seeing clicks

in, there is no need to call It anything (or, no need not to).
