It is hard to fathom how deep this knowledge really is. If you can stand in the place where these words point, you will know, beyond a shadow of a doubt what the world really is. And even more important you will know who you are.
Ok, here’s the secret. When you change the place where you stand, the things that you experience change too. Another way of saying this is that when you change, the whole universe changes. Not that it really changes but you just get a deeper view of what it really is
Here are some examples that will help clarify this. When you stand as the physical body the world appears physical. When you stand as the mind the most important aspects of the world seem mental. When you are enraptured by or lost in your thoughts, you may be standing identified as the mind.
When you stand as Awareness, the world changes
Now what happens to the world when you stand as the Consciousness that is aware of limitations but not bound by them? Believe it or not, when you stand here, the world changes in a way that you cannot anticipate.
If this seems strange, just recognize that wherever you are standing that’s what seems real. In fact, it almost seems impossible to conceive that the world could be different than what you are experiencing right now. That’s because reality does not come from what you experience, it comes from what you really are. When you return your sense of reality to the place where it actually belongs, your own Self Nature, the things that you experience become what they really are too. So the only way that you can experience the world for what it is, is by shifting the place where you stand.

Space is not limited to a room
When you identify with limitation, it is like room space trying to conceive that it is not limited to a room. As long as space identifies with the room, it feels limited to that room. But when the walls come down the room space gets to see what it really was all along. Space gets to see that it was never really limited by an object. Similarly when you take your sense of reality out of the things that you see like the world, body, and mind, you get to stand as you really are, the seer of these objects.
From here you will see where reality, consciousness, and bliss really come from. They don’t come from what you sense; they come from what you are.
Leave a question mark where there was once certainty
So the key that unlocks the door to Self Knowledge is to recognize that reality is different from what you think. To leave a question mark where there was once certainty. This allows you to change the place where you stand from the limitations of the body and mind, to the space like Consciousness that sees limitation but is not affected by it. From here you will see that you are everything and nothing, both at the same time. You will wake up to the source of wisdom and joy. That’s what you really are.
Feel free to ask questions
Please
feel free to continue asking questions. I’m always glad to hear your
reactions and clarify my answers. Unlike the path of faith, on the path
of Self-Knowledge it is curiosity that destroys limitation and allows
you to abide in your natural freedom.
