Self-Knowing

[Guest guest]

The Reality of Awareness appears to manifest through the mind/body, and at

the same time it seems that mind/body, ego, manifestations of siddhis, and

indeed all and any related perceptions, only exist within the Reality of

Awareness. It is the experience of the Sage that Reality exists along with

and independent of the conditions of the mind/body as well. Siddhis are only

the conditions of the mind. But the mind itself can be seen as only a

condition that appears to emanate from the Source of Knowing and disappears

into that. Therefore, Reality embraces all conditions and is limited neither

by duality nor nonduality or any particular theology, philosophy, radical

point of view, etc. Once an ice cube melts into water, it is hard to know

which portion of the water was the ice cube. Similarly, once the mind is

absorbed in the Heart, One Is the Heart. Yet, how can one ever have been out

of the Heart? The disappearance of this mystery might be called

Self-Realization.
