The Field of Knowing

See that all experience is pervaded by the knowing of it – sounds, sensations, feelings, memories, thoughts. Knowing is the medium within which experience arises, is known, and of which it is made. Just as the screen is not an object in the movie yet is never not seen, this knowing is not an object in experience yet is never not known. Just as the sun illuminates itself, this knowing knows itself. The search to find knowing in experience will be frustrated, yet all there is to that search is the knowing of it. When this becomes clear, the mind comes to natural rest. Wherever you go in experience, you never leave the field of knowing. You are this knowing. You know only yourself. You cannot become this knowing because you’ve never been anything other than it. The name ‘I’ is the hint in your mind of its reality. ‘I’ is the divine name.
