Actually, your statement is a misunderstanding of the simultaneous
realities, of, on the one hand, our continuous experience of ever
expanding growth and knowledge, and on the other hand, the
unmistakable experience and truth of liberation.
Those that experience liberation know it to be what it is. I
particularly liked Alex's description of it as the end of war with
ourselves. Many, many other descriptions are out there, so it is
pointless for me to go any further describing such a state.
Those who experience liberation also know that as significant as the
state is, there is always further knowledge, further experience,
further integration occurring. I like to refer to the state of
liberation as one of finding vs. seeking, a description that implies
that there is infinitely more to know, once our liberation occurs.
So, to truly comprehend liberation, both realities must peacefully
exist in the mind at the same time, that of the silent unmoving
Goal, inner freedom, and that of continuously finding and
discovering more and more about our Selves.
