The reality and truth that is God cannot be known as an object by the mind

  • The reality that is God cannot be known as a mind object
  • We view reality through the filter of the mind, through a filter of concepts and projections and the truth is that the mind never actually experiences reality directly, never experiences that which is beyond the perception of our limited senses
  • The mind only ever experiences an illusory world, an illusory world of separate objects and selves, a world that is not ultimately real independent of the reality that is God.
  • All we experience in the seemingly objective world “out there” is relative truth.
  • The world of appearances changes constantly while the one reality that experiences the world (God) is changeless
  • The reality and truth that is God cannot be known as a concept or thought, cannot be grasped by the limited mind for the absolute truth that is God is beyond thoughts and words.
  • The truth is not to be found in this world of apparent objects for truth (God) is the awareness in which our perceptions of the world appear.
  • Awareness (the fact we are aware of being aware) is the only indisputably truth.
  • Awareness (consciousness) is the ultimate truth and reality that is God.
  • Awareness and God are synonymous and all that is absolutely true.
  • The truth is that all is consciousness (God) and therefore all is one.

The reality that is God can be known through an inner experience

  • The realisation of God is the only absolute knowledge.
  • Spiritual enlightenment is about awakening to the ultimate reality that is God.
  • The reality that is God can only be known as an inner experience, realised as Truth within, an experience of the heart, an experience that leads to a sense of indisputable knowing beyond the mind.
  • We can experience this reality that is God through being in an expanded state of consciousness, by being in a pure state of awareness.
  • We can experience the reality that is God through mental stillness.
  • We can experience the reality that is God by going beyond appearances to essence.
  • We can experience the reality that is God through aloneness.
  • Through the experience of God, we realise that the truth that God is, is inseparable from who we are.
