Force cannot be bottled, and most certainly cannot study and comprehend itself. It is what it is –except with man’s consciousness – it has the ability to think that it thinks-about-itself, and thus that it can eventually have full knowledge and understanding of itself. But there is no “self” for it to understand. There is only consciousness; an uncatchable process; an unstoppable or examinable verb; a butterfly that if grabbed in flight, instantly dies and vanishes.
Being really “enlightened” about what is going on in life amounts to this: your consciousness is already fully enlightened as to what is going on in your body, (or you wouldn’t be reading this). Your consciousness is totally enlightened concerning what is going on in the physical world around you, (or you wouldn’t be alive reading this). To complete your enlightenment, all you need do is to realize that this is all the consciousness there is, but this one final little piece of realizing that is what makes all the difference in the universe.
It is simple, but staggeringly difficult to see, because you have a thing trying to understand itself. A thing which continually insists it is doing something else. A thing, which is not actually a thing, trying to do something; but actually a “doing,” a desire struggling to comprehend, desire.
It is as simple as can be
and almost too simple to ever see.
