Looking Without Your Mind
Once
you can see
reality, when you wake up in the morning you won’t see anything you’ve ever seen before. When you can truly see, perceive and taste something, you
will see that you have never actually seen it before. Then you know you are looking without your
mind. But as long as you recognize something, in the sense of
remembering it in the sense of giving it names and labels, then it is not reality yet and you are not yet truly seeing. To penetrate to reality involves a process of unlearning, a shedding or a dropping away of mind, getting rid of all that we know.
