When one knows what one is,
One knows who one isn't.
Then, all there is is the existence and its witnessing.
This existence is unitary.
The differences are only of
The names and the shapes.

Wu Hsin

[Pawo @easenlight]

One can exist without thoughts.
But thoughts cannot exist without one.
As such, which is superior and
Which is inferior?
Why give one's attention to that which is inferior?
Pursue the highest.

Wu Hsin

[Pawo @easenlight]

Turn back on yourself to
Discover your self and
Never make another's experience your own.

Seeking reinforces the idea of a seeker.
It is what drives one to try to
Become what one has never ceased to be.

- Wu Hsin. Being Conscious Presence

[Pawo @easenlight]

To see the light of the sun,
What intervention is required other than
The removal of the mud [that covers your eyes]?
Understand that the seeking of enlightenment is
The great impediment to enlightenment.

Where does one have to go to
Observe what comes and goes?
One is that to which
Everything comes to present itself.

Wu Hsin

[Pawo @easenlight]

All there is is this appearance and
That to which it appears;
They are not two.
Everything else is conceptual.

How dare you claim to be writing the book
When, in fact,
You are a character in the book?

Wu Hsin may talk for years on end.
However, he can never convince a blind man of
The beauty of a rainbow.

– The Lost Writings of Wu Hsin

[Pawo @easenlight]

A life lived in can't know,
Don't know,
No need to know, is
A weightless life,
A life of light-heartedness and
Effortlessness.

What is real is real to everyone; what is false is always personal.

[Pawo @easenlight]

Freedom is not the ability to do whatever you want. It is the ability to remain sovereign over your own mind in a world designed to capture it.

Those who are asleep rest in what is known while those who are awake bask in the unknown.

[Pawo @easenlight]

Thinking of what cannot be thought is still a form of thought. One cannot conceive of what lies beyond the mind. One must go there.

–Wu Hsin, Behind the Mind

[The Still Point @thestillpoint_]

The self does not soften into emptiness. It softens into space. Not created — uncovered. The centre held together by tension starts to dissolve, and what remains feels more real than the one who was being maintained.

[The Still Point @thestillpoint_]

What is deepest is undividedly present.
Not more in one being and less in another.
What changes is condition.
What is deepest does not.

[Pawo @easenlight]

From The Lost Writings of Wu Hsin

[Pawo @easenlight]

True knowledge is not
The knowledge of things
Instead, it is
The knowledge of What-is.
It is knowledge
In the absence
Of a knower
Knowing anything.

Wu Hsin

[Pawo @easenlight]

When a thought appears, the mind generates an "I think".
