Knowing:
A devoted young spiritual traveller pondered on the refined qualities of knowing Divine Truth.
He spent many hours reading spiritual truths and had memorized much through repetition.
He would meditate on these truths to search for a greater understanding of the wisdom's and he had felt he had a good mental understanding of those truths.
Yet even though he did feel he was progressing in his understanding of spiritual knowledge, he felt that his knowing was still in its infancy.
He belonged and participated in a few spiritual groups that were devoted to deepening their understanding to these Truths, and he was adept at following and contributing in the groups.
Yet as uplifted as he felt in these discussions and prayerful realizations of his understanding of these truths.
What wonderful feelings he had during these discussions, dissipated shortly after and realized it was only his fragile human pride at play.
So he reflected on this paradox, of how the understanding of Divine Truth does not provide a consistent experience of Truth?
In his readings the word “knowing”, was mentioned repeatedly and was even used frequently in his groups by many.
In fact the groups he belonged to had meditated on deeper understandings of what knowing is, and even though they and he believed they had this deeper understanding he was beginning to doubt this.
He knew of a Sage that lived in a hermitage not too far away and thought he would pose this paradox to the Sage.
So he went to this Sage and was instantly welcomed into his home.
He apologized and thanked the Sage for seeing him without advanced noticed.
The Sage smiled and nodded and asked, “So what brings you to my home fine sir?”
So the young spiritual traveller recounted to the Sage his paradox of how the knowing of Truth and the experience of such remained fleeting.
The Sage responded, “so the question that one may asked is, What is Knowing?”
The young man said, “I and the groups I participate in have explored that question and we determined it was a deep understanding of Truth.”
“So then what is a deep understanding of Truth?” The Sage asked.
The young man said, “well I guess it means an understanding that is very profound and hidden away very deep in our being, like an answer to a Zen riddle.”
The Sage smiled and said this, “The challenge is in refining what knowing is, many explore knowing only in the framework of the mental intellect.”
“They see knowing as only a worded answer to a paradoxical worded question.”
“Yet the worded answer is not the end of the question of, ‘what knowing is’, it is only the beginning.”
“When one deems the answer is now the end to the realization then the experience of upliftment will end, thus only fleeting.”
“Consider refining the premise of what knowing is, to a much deeper understanding,” The Sage said with a playful chuckle.
The young man looked perplexed, “I must deepen the Knowing, Is it not already Divine? What is deeper than that?”
The Sage said, “knowing is only a word used to inspire you to refine its qualities or deepness.”
“The refined qualities of Knowing is of “Action”, the One motion of a prayerful trinity of intention.”
“First to look inward using the question or one may say an offering, this is to allow.”
“Second, is to ‘Notice‘ which means that in this allowing we receive and accept the answer.”
“Third is in our acceptance we move now forward in alignment to this deepening, for this is the creative continuum of the infinitude of the Beloved.”
“Where moving as, is the continuing of allowing that is often perceived as a new beginning of a creative process,” then noticing, moving as more and so on.”
“When the understanding of Knowing is explored as an action then the experience is the natural outcome, for this is our natural creative design.”
“Knowing is the experience of all action and as we deepen our knowing and move as it, our experience will reflect this.”
“As our awareness illuminates our consciousness of Self as explored in the vehicle of Light or energy refining and forming to reflect an image, Experience!”
“Knowing is experience, where in the refinement of its creative continuum the possibilities of experience/creating is truly endless.”
“In the Acceptance or Realization of our Natural creative flow or Whole Divine Self our knowing as action is now refined to of state of seeming stillness.”
“This inaction is the greatest motion of knowing, where purpose ends for need is no longer what defines creative action.”
“Yet in this Inaction the Greatest of All Actions is now the realized experience of our creative natural flow.”
“This is the Pure Knowing, and is experienced as such, for this is our natural design as the Beloved made us in His image.”
“Explore Knowing as Experience, for words of knowledge only reveal a Truth yet still bounded by the means of primitive communication, creative to bridge the beliefs of separation.”
“In truth that understanding of knowledge is only a mere muddied up droplet in an infinite pool of Soma!”
“Thank You!”
All My Love
