The mind uses the experience of the senses to justify its predisposition toward definition. It likes to understand things and so places them in convenient little boxes, defined by its four sides, top and bottom. It continually gathers evidence to substantiate this perception of life, particularly its own sense of self-identity. By its substantial use of identification and definition, the ego mind creates, sustains and modifies the appearance of duality in its own unique way. It creates the appearance of separation by enforcing definition. What is the truth of this definition? Where do “I” end and “you” begin?

Generally one's sense of reality is gauged by “personal” experience. This is data gathered, processed, stored and fed back as experience of reality. The experience itself is of a personal nature, and therefore in being confined to the limitation of perception, it reflects only impermanence. It is in constant flux, and so only relatively 'real' to one's self, so to speak. It is not Real in the Absolute sense.

Each being has a measure of inner and outer experience. Both the inner and outer realms are infinitely rich, and even appear exclusively real, though where is the point of definition as to where one begins and the other ends? What defines your sense of inner and outer reality? Where does your body end and the world begin? It simply begins and ends in the mind of the perceiver. Mind creates division and unity. True Nature knows nothing of such things. All is only as it Is.

In Truth, You, as Consciousness cannot be contained by any nOT4on of definition. To genuinely Know This you have to engage with, and honestly penetrate the inevitable question 'What Am I?' This is not merely alluding toward the culmination of beliefs born through the vessel of the life stream's experience, but to that which Is prior to, and beyond all experience. The One and Only.

You are the living embodiment of eternity cascading through copious lucid experiences with the sole purpose of Realising the Truth of Who You Are. Truth cannot be contained by the body, understood by the intellect nor felt by the emOT4onal body. These fragmented aspects of the psyche cannot comprehend limitlessness, for they themselves have both a beginning and an end.

The psyche endures a myriad incarnations between moments divided by the illusion of somethingness. When the void is experienced directly without the filters of conditionalism then the fixation with personality preferences, and time/space references effortlessly dissolve. Truth is all that remains.

Even in the experience of enlightenment, when the mind's grasp on definition is relaxed, there generally emerges the identification “I Am Enlightened!” The mind clamours to define that which is beyond limitation, and thus the awareness is reduced to fit the definition given. Thus the indefinable becomes defined and total awareness of its absolute nature becomes overshadowed, therefore enlightenment is no longer experienced. The mind cannot comprehend that which is beyond its station, so it is necessary to let it be as it Is, without following the impulse to 'capture the flowing river'.

Every thought, belief and emOT4on constructed within the psyche is transient by nature and has a limited life span. Its longevity is solely dependent on your attachment to it. If you continue to feed a transient belief or emOT4on with identification then naturally it will become stronger, and more tangibly present as a reality.
However, strong as it may become this does not mean that it is absolutely So. The moment that you withdraw your investment in this thought form or emOT4on it will cease to exist as defined.

Once again, if you identify with that which is eternal it will lose its eternal nature. It will simply become an idea in order to fit into the identity given. The key is non-identification. Even God is only a thought, though arguably a refined one. Nevertheless all thought arises out of nothingness and returns to nothingness. Thoughts are by their nature transient. Even were you to sit down right now, with the resolute intention to meditate of God, how long would you be able to hold this unbroken focus? A few seconds, a minute, an hour. It doesn't matter how long, the focus has a beginning and an end. What is perceived in the thought of God, is not God, it is a thought and only a thought, nothing else. Likewise whatever you identify yourself as, you are not. These identifications are only thoughts, not Reality. Freedom within a context is only relative freedom.

Total freedom of Being exists when the definition that divides dissolves away leaving only undifferentiated Reality, self-evident and effortlessly Itself.
