'Individual' truth and 'Universal' Truth. Conditioned mind and Unconditioned Consciousness

As individuals - as a window for consciousness - we are each uniquely positioned in space and time...

But in essence, at the roots of 'our' Being, we are consciousness itself - undifferentiated and unconditioned.

The deepest mystical revelations and spiritual insights amount to nothing more than this.

Self-realisation is a living knowledge of one's essence - not abstract or theoretical - inherently embodying the infinite creative potential as our very Presence.

Theoretical self-knowledge tends to inhibit inspired action - whereas, on the contrary, the awakened Presence is ever flowing with it.

Words cannot contain these truths... but inspired poetry can evoke them...

The 'Truth of our Essence' is world-shattering - it destroys all our beliefs about reality which are based on our sense of 'separate self'.

The Freedom that is sought while there is a constricted experience of separative-existence cannot be found by trying to 'understand' spiritual teachings. There is nothing the mind can do to alleviate this primordial suffering of existence.

But the struggle of the mind to find peace can be seen for what it is, and in that moment there is a lightning bolt of understanding that destroys the fixation on 'separativeness'.

The struggle of the mind to find peace is a symptom of the negation of our essence. While this negation continues the mind will not grasp spiritual truth - it will either reject it or intellectualise it.

There is no freedom found through the mind. There is Freedom in 'seeing through' the mind.

The play of mind is the basis of ignorance (about our essence).

Do not struggle with the mind!

This is mind's struggle! It belongs to the mind.

If you sincerely wish for and are open to Freedom, you must renounce this struggle.

It is not the mind's function to grasp 'reality'.

The mind's function/essence is to interpret and organise experience from an 'individual' (i.e. 'separate') perspective.

But renounce this struggle with mind.

It is not mind that is the problem. It is attachment to 'mind-ness' that brings the feeling of psychological or spiritual bondage.
