Rory Goff writes snipped: But "to know itself as Self" is not like any other knowledge, which is indeed dualistic and based on a comparison, on an either-or discrimination.
That's why this Self-knowledge is so mind-blowing -- literally. It is so ordinary and so special, so still and so dynamic, so Dead and so Alive, so *this* and so *that* -- so slippery, so concrete, so in- your-face paradoxical. Literally unimaginable, literally unspeakable. Yet it IS; I AM. Discrimination cannot capture it; discrimination can only surrender awe-struck. TomT: >From Jean Klein "Transmission of the Flame" page 65 "...We have very often repeated that the seeker is the sought. An object is a fraction; it appears in your wholeness, in your globality. When you really come to the understanding that the seeker is the sought, there is a natural giving-up of all energy to find something. It is an instantaneous apperception. I don't say perception, because in perception there is a perceiver and something perceived. An apperception is an instantaneous perceiving of what is perceiving. So it can never be in relation of subject-object, just as an eye can never see its own seeing. .......you will find a glimpse of non-subject-object relationship. This glimpse is seen with your whole intelligence, which is there in the absence of the person, the thinker, the doer. Understanding, being the understanding, is enlightenment
