If you believe there is a state called enlightenment,
in which life will come easy,
in which you will be in control of mind and emotions,
in which you will have answers for all situations,
you are wrong.
If you think there is an experience called awakening,
which will reveal truth beyond appearances,
which will take you out of your body,
which will bring for ever joy and happiness,
you are wrong.
If you imagine there is someone out there,
who knows the secrets of life,
who can show you the way,
who will make you whole,
you are wrong.
Why?
Because there is merely one state: the existing state;
Because the coming easy or hard is life;
Because there is no control over control;
Because there is no knowledge to confirm knowledge is true.
Because experience happens to the awakened;
Because there is only appearance;
Because the body is no in and out of the body;
Because joy and happiness are merely other experiences.
Because there is no one out there;
Because life has no secret and because life is a secret;
Because there is just this way;
Because you are the whole of it already.
Because whatever you believe, think or imagine, you always will be wrong.

Until we escape from our conceptualizing mind
And realize (directly experience) the dimension of timeless awareness itself ...
There is no escape from the mind. Only the mind can talk about escaping the mind. Why would you want to escape the mind and not the stars or space? What is this "we" that escapes the mind? Is there a "we" outside of the mind? Is there an "outside of the mind"? How can there be an "until" before timelessness? How can you realise in time the timeless? What can realise awareness and how? What good is realisation? What can be realized can be unrealized. Isn't realisation yet another experience?
