Enlightening

If you are looking for enlightenment or freedom or oneness, my deduction would be that their are moments when you don't.

Not searching for anything for few more minutes won't hurt, so come with me my friend and let's relax for a moment.I sit down, legs crossed, i'm not a yogi or anything, it's just a nice position, anything would do really, it's just my position. Take yours.

Let's look at life. Just all of life really--all inclusive. That includes all of what you can sense, it includes thoughts too. There is what you sense and there are the thoughts that label it into things. There is also this magnetic-energetic aspect of this process, when a thing really feels like a thing, when for a moment a sensation or idea really seems to be true. This is all what's happening. It's all life. Nothing of anything you see, feel etc. can be said to be outside of life, not anything you can imagine--as thought or as the content of it--can be excluded. It matters little what we know or do not know right now. As a matter of fact, nothing else can be known right now. And really what needs to be known is already known. What you deeply want is to be full, complete, alive. If sometimes you look for knowledge (you do don't you?) which would help you understand, you already assume that the "me" that is looking is in need of this knowledge. Perhaps you feel the need. It's fine if you do, remember: it's life too. But look: if you need knowledge, your knowledge is incomplete, so how can you be so sure of the "me" being known correctly? And if so, can you be so sure of it needing knowledge? And if you would gain knowledge, what knowledge would confirm this knowledge you acquired is correct?

Knowledge is part of life. It's not bad, it is part of life, part only. Knowledge of "me" is fine. Thought is fine. But look: what is the certainty of all this life? If what you know of it is not certain, then what is? Can there be certainty beyond knowledge? There is isn't it? If you can be certain knowledge is uncertain then certainty is beyond that. Are you not certain of Life right now?

And even suppose--for the sake of it--this is a dream, then isn't this really a dream? And even if you are not what you think you are, isn't the unknown me really the unknown me?

The answer is here right before you. The answer is the establishment of certainty, but see how you already are surrounded, permeated, incarnating reality. See how yourself need no enlightenment because you are the enlightening already.
