All-Knowing Awareness

Why do people sometimes experience profound sudden epiphanies in moments of inner quietude? Because Silence is All-Knowing. And what would happen if we were to stop thinking and conceptualizing altogether? Yep, you guessed it... Pure Formless All-Knowing Awareness would shine forth.

But that would mean that the intellect is a huge limitation. It would mean that all knowledge is redundant. It would mean that words and thoughts are worthless. It would mean that opinions, beliefs, views, and perceptions are pointless.

Are we able to accept that? For All-Knowing Awareness, one has to.

Cellular Identification

The body is a collective community of individually living cells that are all co-operating together to make a larger whole. The brain, and its thoughts and thinking are just another part of that overall cellular functioning. So if the mind and body are working all by themselves as a result of cells doing work, why do we identify the mind's thoughts and the body's actions as being "me"? Are we the mind and body, or are we the Energy/Life/Consciousness/Awareness within the body that is aware of Itself and the body/mind's automatic functioning? Are we the doer and thinker, or are we the Silent Observer?

Out of being identified with the body/mind, we are being controlled by it. We are enslaved by it because we falsely identify it as being "me". Oops!
