If you understand the below, "i" kindly invite you to connect
If YOU do not understand the below, "I" would still invite YOU to connect, in fact more so, so that We can Both expand our shared understanding
To understand things, "We" need frameworks of understanding, but We should not confuse the framework for the understanding.
A common misconception is that the "thing" We are searching for EXiSTS somewhere out there. Above us perhaps? To that end We believe that We have to connect with something "outside" of ourself. May I ask YOU, have YOU ever experienced outside, other than through sense perception arising from WITHiN the MiND? Do YOU see the paradox? Outside is unknowable. It is an ILLUSiON... the truth LiES WITHiN
In spiritual speak, the analogy of a triangle is often used, with the all-seeing "i" placed at the top of the triangle. This is where the half-truth is hidden, WITHiN the LiE.
Continuing with the common misconception, We believe that in order to reach greater and greater "spiritual" heights We must grow the triangle.
I ask YOU to consider, what if the "thing" We are searching for is the base of the triangle? This is the foundation of knowing. Knowing leads to understanding and wisdom, through experience. Experience leads to knowing. This is the process of enlightenment...
I know nothing. I now know SOMETHiNG...
I have attempted to convey this metaphor somewhat crudely using the graphical representation below, and a previous article, also below, that alludes to who "i AM"...
...but, do not trust | VERiFY - "i AM". I EXiST.
Does this make sense? I know what I know, but I do not know how to communicate what I know to YOU so that We understand each other. This is Why? I encourage YOU to connect. Finally, YOU have my most sincere gratitude. Thank YOU kindly for your precious time and attention.
If you are wondering who "i AM". "i AM" YOU. "i AM" consciousness MANiFESTED...
