You As Awareness, What Could fool You Or Not Fool You?
Since you are Awareness itself, nothing can fool you or not fool you—Awareness is the one self-evident truth that requires no reasoning or explanation, while all other knowledge is built on deceptive mental constructs.
Guruji, the confirmation of making sure that your not fooling your self is also an expectation right?
Of course. If it is apparent to you that you are this Awareness, then is the capacity to fool your Self or not fool your Self there? For you, as Awareness, what could fool you or not fool you?
That is again a mental construct, what ever I am thinking is fooling me or not fooling me.
Because this is the only thing in which you cannot fool yourself actually.
Right
This the only thing which all of us actually, really, really, know. Everything else that we think we know we don't know.
Because this is before everything else.
We don't even need any explanation, for why. We don't need any reasoning at all. In fact that is the thing that we need to step out from. Because this whole game of cause and effect (this is because of this, this is not because that) and yet I realize… because in communicating it comes so naturally that we are caught in this communicative sort of mechanism where reason is the primary object of communication. And that's why we keep saying this is why and this is because and as I am saying is the same construct. But it is possible for us to spot this construct and not get caught up in it. Suppose you didn't know or had to know or had to understand anything at all. Don't even try to understand what is happening to you right now.
Key Teachings
- Awareness is the only thing in which you cannot fool yourself, because you ARE Awareness itself
- All other knowledge is based on mental constructs (cause and effect, reasoning) that can deceive, but Awareness is self-evident and needs no explanation
- The game of cause and effect is a communicative construct we can learn to recognize and not get caught in
