The most fascinating thing about the neural state known variously as “Liberation,” “Enlightenment,” and “Awakening,”is that you cannot think or talk about it. All you can do is think and talk about what you have thought and said about it.
For all its history has someone been confiding that, “It is not possible to put the Enlightened state into words.” But most of such voices were merely admitting unwittingly that they had never experienced that unusual and eye/I opening neural vacation.
The reason that this extraordinary mental state cannot be described is the same one that keeps man’s ordinary state beyond the reach of words and thoughts. The mind cannot conceive of itself. This simple, obvious reality is the basis for the notion, under sundry titles, that man is “Asleep,” “in-the-dark,” and a captive.
Men talk about what they SAY they think, but they do not. They only talk about what they are now thinking concerning something previously thought. Men will claim to be describing their state of mind, when they are expressing their present view of a past one.
Thought runs in real time,
but not analyzation thereof.
The normal brains and consciousness of men seem completely unable to see this stark fact, but understandably, since Thought is the last to know.
