What Is Existence?
The essence of existence is a mystery of all mysteries. Existence is everywhere
whether or not one knows it. Knowing is about thinking about,
perceiving and everything, everywhere, cannot be known, cannot be
perceived right now. Yet is exists.
Zen is
about ‘stretching’ oneself not to understand this intellectually,
but to realise it.. experientially.
To describe such an experience
words would be inadequate, for thinking of such experiencing, would
only be a memory, for it would have already happened. As does all
experiences!
How this
ability to know in humans came about is impossible to learn about. It
is really not important as the here-now is all we have and the
knowledge of it realised through the mind and imagination, which is
just memory.
Now is
the only time there is. And now is the only time in which we are able
to transcend knowledge. And then it is OK to know to the same degree
that is OK not to know. Knowing and not-knowing are equal, are the same. OK and not OK are equal, are the same. Then duality is transcended.
If you
can get this, then it’s fine. If you don’t get this, then it’s
fine also.
