You are at the centre of infinity but you don't experience yourself as that, do you? If you ever do - dropping everything else, sitting down in meditation, looking to see who you are - the moment you have the first glimpse of that your mind rushes 1/
in to explain it, to contextualise it, to put it in terms you can use to try to explain it to others - a hopeless ambition because it is a truth greater than can be captured by any idea or concept; even poetry can only point to it but never encapsulate. 2/
So what to do? First is just as I suggested: drop everything else and look. Drop the very idea you know anything - even that you know who you are, which seems so obvious that you can hardly doubt it. If you do that you may have a glimpse but what good is 3/
is that? It doesn't answer, at best it allows you to doubt the small idea you have of yourself. But that's where you begin the search to know yourself: from the doubt that you already do. Doubt is the razor that shaves away the convictions that 4/
convict us to be captivated, captured, confined to a completely false understanding of who we are and where we fit and what's the point of it all. I can't tell you anything really about ultimate reality or who you actually are because 5/
whatever I say can't be knowledge for you, only a belief. To become knowledge you have to attain it yourself, otherwise that great plagerist, your mind, will pretend it knows and even take credit for its discovery. Know 1st that you don't know, 2nd, you can.
