A "Single-Eye" and
A "Double-Mind" see Life in
A Different Light.
"Seeing in Part" and
"Knowing as I Am Known" are
"Complementary."
Enlightenment "Sees
The House as Whole" while self-thought
"Builds it with Bricks."
"Knowing by Virtue
Of Being" what One Knows is
"Perfectly Certain."
Re: "It is one thing to come up with answers from our memory that was put in there by what we heard and read, even if they are the right answers, but it is very different and alive when we discover the answers ourselves, as when we see them for the first time..." -- Frank Youakim
(A related closing of a "Master-Student" parable shared by Syd Banks towards the end of "The Enlightened Gardner.")
"...But tell me Master, the student said, why did you send me on a wild goose chase when all you had to do was tell me the answer?
"I told you the other day, such knowledge can't be grasped intellectually. It is something that has to be realized and uncovered from within your own consciousness.
"What you have to realize is that there's quite a difference between hearing Truth intellectually and getting it from realization.
"One is a learned process from the physical world and the other is an inner virgin knowledge that lies deep within the consciousness is all human beings.
"When Einstein realized the theory of relativity, it was a virgin thought, or, if you wish, an original thought. However, once he spoke of his finding it became of this world; it joined with his intellect and that of all humanity. Einstein was both a wise an an intelligent man.
"You must first learn to listen; otherwise, no matter how anyone tries to explain the unexplainable to you, it will never make sense.
"...because the elusive knowledge you seek has no form, it can only be explained metaphorically -- and until you learn to listen, you will hear only metaphors."
