Excerpts from "Noticing What
You Already Know"
by Robin Dale
It is essential to look within. After a while you start noticing
what you already know. Nothing changes, yet it's a new way of
understanding which was always there but not admitted to. You know
you're not in control. You know you don't do anything.
You know you're not who you have been habitually
insisting to yourself that you are. It's only a tradition of
authority that has told us it's dangerous or frightening to
own up, come clean, face facts, and stop pretending.
~ ~ ~
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.
~ ~ ~
For a dose of reality, have a clear, wise,
calm look at what would happen to you if you were successful in
your favourite 'spiritual' endeavour. And then don't blame me for
the disappointment.
~ ~ ~
There is no such thing as 'spiritual
attainment.' What looks like spiritual attainment is actually the
failure of the one who would attain.
~ ~ ~
Worldly people with an investment in the
Dream are like ambitious toads guarding a nest of eggs. They're
thinking, that when the eggs finally hatch, they're going to
get something other than toads.
~ ~ ~
Seeing that there is a gap between thoughts
is the first step. Then it becomes obvious that the whole thing
is one big gap with thoughts appearing on top of it. Then you
find that you are that gap. Then you can't find a gap between
thoughts, because the thoughts themselves are made of 'gap,'
which you are; it is like an eye trying to see itself.
