Knowledge

Knowing comes from experiencing reality in the absence of thought. When my mind is quiet and settled then my body becomes radiant – I become fully physical – and that radiance penetrates the world and I then know that world. This is far superior to normal sensitivity where I finely sense the world and then filter that sensory information through my neuroses causing me to colour everything I see with my own arrogance and enabling me to only experience that which I am predisposed to experience.

Exhaust your words, empty your thoughts,
For then you may come to recognize this One Essence.
