    So all that a man is suffering is fascination with the force of his own activity and experience, which represents to him the separate self sense (identification or "ego"), the field of differentiation (the conceptualized world), and the endless adventure of seeking (mysterious motivation or desire).

    When you see that you are always seeking, understanding is emerging. When you see the pattern of Narcissus as all your motives, all your acts, all your seeking, understanding is emerging. When you see you are always suffering, understanding is emerging. When you see that every moment is a process in dilemma, understanding is emerging. When you see that every moment is a process of identification, differentiation and desire, understanding is emerging. When you see that every moment, when you are at your best as well as when you are at your worst, you are only avoiding relationship, then you understand. When you see that which already is, apart from the avoidance of relationship, which already absorbs consciousness prior to the whole dilemma, motivation and activity of avoidance, then you have finally understood.

    The Man of Understanding is not "entranced". He is not "elsewhere". He is not having an "experience". He is not passionless and inoffensive. He is Awake. He is Merely and "Brightly" Present. He knows no obstruction in the form of mind, identity, differentiation, and desire. He uses mind, identity, differentiation, and desire. He is passionate. His quality is an offense to those who are entranced, elsewhere, contained in the mechanics of experience, asleep, living as various forms of identity separation, and dependence. He is acceptable only to those who understand.

    Consciousness is not located until it is utterly set free from identification with separateness, with egoity, with the knot of self-contraction, the knot of the body-mind.

    "What Consciousness Is"
    Part 16, The Aletheon

    You (necessarily) become (or conform to the likeness of) whatever you Behold, or Contemplate, or Meditate on, or even think about. Therefore. . . Contemplate Me, and always transcend even all thought by Meditating on Me.

    Da Love-Ananda Gita

    You do not have to disappear from here in order to find egolessness and No-"difference".
