Those That See Are Blind

If reality is one, only reality’s self-knowledge can be absolutely true. Any other knowledge of reality shares the finite mind’s limitations. We must be reality itself; there can be no entity apart from it. Thus, reality’s self-knowledge must be our self-knowledge. Our eyes cannot see themselves – only objects at a distance can be seen. Objective knowledge or experience is at a distance from our self. In our self-knowledge, there is no knowledge or experience, just emptiness. But we cannot say we don’t know our self – this emptiness is luminous, aware being, without being anything or knowing anything. The only way to know reality as it is in itself is simply to be, knowingly. Anything added to ‘I am’, the highest truth, conditions it, fragmenting it. Knowledge of things is knowledge of that which is not, and in knowing nothing, that which is shines by itself. The blind truly see, and those that see are blind.
