Mind, existence, being who you are, victory and loss, God, and space

***

 

 

 

The mind which does not know mind is mind, all else is thought. Mind is the absence of idea, idea is the absence of mind. Mind cannot be destroyed, nor can it be created. It can neither lead, nor be led; mind peregrinates neither towards nor away, but is itself the flight. Mind is the discontinuation of itself. Mind has no image of mind. If you grasp to hold it, it will not go, and go, and go.

 

Existence betrays, but you are not betrayed; you are repeatedly absolved and then condemned; you are absolved because you are condemned, you are condemned because you are absolved; you are unreedemable, thus are you redeemed; there is no salvation, thus you are saved. Infinity's prerogative.

 

You must be who you are, not who you want to be.

 

Since all is loss, victory comes from not suffering over loss.

 

Release the one whom you do not know from within. Be that one also.

 

The mind accepts and rejects, creating duality.

 

Every space is God’s space when I do not enter it.

 

It is accomplished.
