KEY DISTINCTION<\/h1>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 The common individual is quite effectively limited by the conditions of environment, of ignorance, of intellect, of karmic heredity, and of all sorts of external and internal conflicts and restrictions. \u00a0Always motivated by some desire or some dislike, for-and-against attitudes and mental sets, nobody seems to be fully satisfied or content. \u00a0All the objects and objectives of personal motivations support a condition of longing and restlessness of the mind and create situations of identification with some of these objects and events. \u00a0Thus the ego-notion becomes the basis of all fixed percepts and mental sets, all opinion, all preference, all prejudice. \u00a0But when the situations supporting the ego-identified perspectives are transcended then there is potential to recognize a higher state of being. \u00a0This higher state cannot be created or produced by some method, some technology, or some device or discipline, for it is always already the present fact. \u00a0 In this higher state, all distinctions of duality disappear and the apperception is nondual. Peace comes to the fore when mental disturbances supported by the dualistic perspective are done away with, and for this a method or device or discipline can be a help. \u00a0But all helps cannot produce the beatitude that is already present. \u00a0The way to understand that subjective purity which is always present is to learn to subtract the obstructive tendencies that seem to continually hide and cover over that pure subjectivity. \u00a0 The key to learning to do this is to repeatedly make the distinction in awareness of the difference between external physical objects, internal mental objects, and pure subject which is the pure consciousness that perceives all objectivity.<\/h2>\n
