Excerpts from “Noticing What You Already Know”

                   by Robin Dale

 The imagination of a thing is not that thing. That’s obvious. But imagining a particular thought you’ve had is not that actual thought, but another one. So what do ideas about thought mean? They are thoughts themselves and only the Knowing can understand them, and it does it now, without thinking. One thought cannot understand all thought, only awareness (the Knowing) can, and does. We blindly believe that one thought can know about other thoughts, because this is the lie/dream of existence.

 Understanding is born into mind/world, and birth is painful. The mind’s obsessive need to understand, itself creates a shell which must painfully break. This is the mind letting go to reveal the heart’s knowledge.

 The Universe/mind is a symbol of the Absolute, unfolding to reveal that it is none other than the Absolute in reality. The Absolute manifests as symbols of itself, which unfold to demonstrate and discover the Absolute. Universes forming and dissolving thus, are the beating of the Sacred Heart.

 There is only This. If you think you’re enlightened, throw it away and begin again. The idea of ‘enlightenment’ is like a big ugly monster with a pretty face, inside you. Like the idea of the Abyss is a big warm openhearted angel with an ugly face.

 Self or mind is always hiding things from itself. That’s the only way it can exist. The fact that it doesn’t exist is the biggest secret it keeps from itself.
