Seeing was mentioned in chat, so figured I'd throw this in the mix.
The only obstacle to a complete open view or ‘seeing’ is a habitual fixation of the assemblage point. It appears to be a stubborn stumbling block for so many.
However, when the basis of this fixation reveals its insubstantial nature, even the most stubborn AP’s are rendered passive. The energy of belief ceases to support the erroneous evidence.
Pure ‘seeing’ is completely free and spontaneously happening right now. The intellect follows as close as it can but it is a borrower only.
It takes on fixated forms in AP’s and that includes the belief that ‘it’ is seeing, that ‘it’ is knowing. This is a complete fabrication yet this fact will never be accepted by the AP intellect willingly. It wants proof yet it ignores the clear and obvious.
Fixations in AP’s do not belong to your authenticity - natural being. The psychological or AP ‘you’ will never embrace it while a belief of separation continues. When ‘you’ cease to project an ‘image’ of a false self, it will appear that your true essence embraces and enfolds everything into this pure presence that you ARE.
‘You’ are the direct cognition only.
In some cases, if there is a strong habitual pattern of inflexible perception, this hold of the AP may require many strikes from many angles with forceful shocks to shift its eccentric stubborn stance. These habits are somewhat like crystallizations or mini-AP states. (Remember that they have no real substance.)
As AP’s loosen up, impressions are not translated in the habitual way and one gets a taste of this ever-fresh nature of simple presence. So then the old identified AP called the self is dissolved, or is at least in abeyance with Truth.
Fresh AP’s bring a new impulse for openness and to remain open. ‘Seeing’ from this relaxed openness, one will notice the habitual conditions from spaciousness without fixating on them.
Habitual AP’s may appear to try and reassert themselves yet they have no power as long as you remain alert. Eventually they will appear to give themselves up and cease to invade your natural state of Being.
This is the ‘age old’ realm of self-knowledge and just this singular and immediate moment of self knowledge, -self-knowing- is real. It is THIS moment of Awareness.
