When we allow everything to be as it is, in that inner
attitude of non-grasping and surrender, something creative can come to you.
That is the space in which insight, wisdom and revelation arise...
It’s the space in which we are gifted with what we need to see. It’s the space in which we can be informed by the wholeness of consciousness, not just by a little speck of consciousness in our mind. And ultimately, it is the space in which realization arises. It is the space in which we realize ourselves to be consciousness itself, the unmanifest fabric of being.
~Adyashanti
The Yoga Sutras tell us that it
is because of avidya, or ignorance, that we mistake sensory form for
reality. Sensory form necessarily rests
within mind. There is no sensual
experience without mind. It all takes
place in within the still mysterious processes of the brain which somehow seem
to mediate between the material and the immaterial. Somehow the brain takes in our narrow
spectrum of electromagnetic energy and manufactures it into our world. Mind is what gives it shape, meaning and
value.
