Only those who are grounded in the nondual recognition of how things really are can realize what every arising condition was, is, and might be. \u00a0The consideration of ignorance may help to somewhat relax the mind from its chronic patterned views and habitual set thinking and help clarify the true point of view of nonduality, nonseparateness.<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Accepting something as fact when it really is not is a function of ignorance. \u00a0In order to understand our real condition and situation in this plane of existence it will be necessary to do away with this ignorance. \u00a0 Where is it that we may search to find the root cause of this ignorance? \u00a0 When we look hard enough and honestly enough we find that the individual faculty of discernment is the fault, the root of all the ignorance. \u00a0Whenever anyone does not perceive the aberrated condition of the faculty of discernment he will be confused by his acceptance of false or partial evidence and making all unverified and uninvestigated assumptions as fact and truth. \u00a0 Nearly everyone does this since the conventional \u201ctraditions\u201d become traditions because there are so many people who presume, without personal investigation, that any thing traditionally accepted as true must therefore be true. \u00a0 An irrational or defective discernment sustains the continuity of false views, and the primary false view, the most tenacious view of all is called dualism. \u00a0When the discerning faculty is relieved of its habitual\u00a0error, then the primal darkness of ignorance dissipates and there is light.<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/PB260231.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2218\" src=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/PB260231.jpg\" alt=\"wisdom\" width=\"1076\" height=\"806\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/PB260231.jpg 1076w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/PB260231-150x112.jpg 150w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/PB260231-501x375.jpg 501w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/PB260231-1024x767.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1076px) 100vw, 1076px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/DSCI0377.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-406\" src=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/DSCI0377.jpg\" alt=\"nonduality is fact\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/DSCI0377.jpg 800w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/DSCI0377-150x112.jpg 150w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/DSCI0377-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nonduality is Fact \u00a0\u00a0Existence (Being) is the inherent characteristic of Unconditioned Reality, and therefore also of the Conditioned Reality.
