Dream state, waking state, heavenly state, hellish state, resistant state, blissful state, enlightened state, lonely state, seeking state, resigned state, shameful state, depressed state: all “states” or “dimensions” are known equally. Turn around and ask yourself the question, “states known are known by who”? Look deeply into what knows the known? “I” am the one that knows; but what am I?
Well, that which knows “known” states, cannot, itself, be a ‘state’. You cannot be “something” other than the knowing that knows it. You are known unto Yourself. This means that You are the knowing knowing Knowing. You know Yourself alone. This is the Good News. It is the Knowing that knows the known because it is only the one Knowing that Knows Itself. The one Knowing is the only known. Be the knowing and indulge in Its inherent expressions of Peace & Happiness now. Why seek for a “happy” objective experience? Why try to avoid an unbearable objective experience? Both are known anyways. Look to the Knowing of experience, not to its ‘content’. The content of experience will always appear, disappear, and change. Allow the content to melt into one Knowing or else experience will predictably appear as both pleasurable and painful content. This is “known” in the following pattern.
A seeking state changes into a seeking activity which can change into a stressful state. A stressful state (unfulfilled) continues to be stressful until reaching an achievement state. An achievement state is a happy or fulfilled state. A happy state then changes into a restless or agitated state. These states turn into a sad, angry or lonely state. These states turn into a fearful state. A fearful state can change into a depressed state or a resistant shameful state. These states ultimately turns into the original seeking state because the state of depression or unworthiness is just too insufferable right? And the merry-go-round continues round and round.
Is this what you truly desire… to continue seeking activities and objects in order to achieve a happy state? See that this is happening. Be the awareness of this awareness. Decide to step out of an ignorant identity, and know YourSelf as the “Knowing” ItSelf throughout all seeking states, happy states and sorrowful states; and yes, insufferable states. Stand in Your Truth, as Truth. Be the Knowing and watch the dream-life self; (an objectified experience believed to be a subject) merge & dissolve into You; Pure Infinite, Ever-Present Knowing.
