WHAT TO DO?<\/h1>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Nothing needs to be done. \u00a0Nothing needs to be created or changed or altered. \u00a0The recognition of what-really-is is enough, and what-really-is cannot be susceptible to creation or alteration or destruction; it already and always is what it is. \u00a0Anyone who wants to find it just needs to recognize it, yet it cannot be known in the usual way of perceiving subject over against a perceived object. Just knowing one\u2019s pure consciousness from the non-conceptual perceptual position of pure consciousness is the knowing and the recognition. Alteration, transformations, and corrections are functions of a dichotomizing mind absorbed in the delusions of dualisms. \u00a0When one\u2019s pure consciousness is recognized it is because attention has introverted itself inwardly. \u00a0The Upanishadic Vedanta calls this introversion \u201catma jnana\u201d, or \u201cself-knowledge\u201d. \u00a0The Taoist literature refers to this as \u201cturning the light around\u201d. \u00a0 Some of the Buddhist terms are \u201creverting to the onloooker\u201d, or \u201cOceanic Reflection\u201d, or \u201camalavijnana\u201d and etc. The way things really are, whether of phenomena or of consciousness, are non-conceptual and devoid of any self-definition or mark of separate existence.<\/h2>\n

\u00a0 Transcending all identity with any particular, specific phenomenon, (usually the body-mind or psychosomatic complex) we can know what-we-are as being consciousness, the spectator and witness of all material phenomena, subtle or gross. \u00a0The gross phenomena are the elemental or physical objects we contact with our sense organs; the subtle phenomena are the events happening in our minds, feelings, emotions, desires, and imagination. \u00a0 But we do not belong to any particular objective class or degree of existence or becoming or identity. \u00a0 And there is no valid reason to be attached to any of the impermanent things with form, whether subtle or gross. \u00a0Real identity is entirely obvious once it is known clearly. \u00a0The witness is the perceiver of the all, and unattached, is always free. \u00a0The reason why we are ill-at-ease, or dis-eased, is that we don\u2019t understand ourSelves as the witness; we suppose we are an ego, identified as a phenomenal particular object. Peace is the lack of the ego-illusion based in discriminative error, the notion and perspective of dualism. \u00a0It is easy and common to have become conditioned and trapped in false identity but this false identity can be evaporated with recognition and knowledge. \u00a0All our \u201cbondage\u201d (so-called) is conceptual; we are tied up in a conceptual entanglement. The disentanglement occurs not as some definite activity designed to untie the knot of bondage but as a simple understanding of how conceptual constructs are based in distorted perception. \u00a0When these are recognized it is simultaneously realized that there is really nothing to do. Disentanglement occurs naturally once the truth is seen. \u00a0Although there may be considerable effort spent in presumably \u201cdoing\u201d things like logical reasoning, meditation, contemplation, and critical thinking, nothing needs to be done to change the way things really are. \u00a0 Seeing the truth clearly allows the tangle to untangle itself. It may seem that spontaneity requires some preparatory effort, but that effort does not add to reality, the actuality; it merely subtracts the false.<\/h2>\n
