Does anybody have this problem?

2 posts in this topic

Ive been conscious for about 3 years now. Ive always had questions and dibbled and dabbled in some aspects of spirituality  but I really delved into meta physics about 3 years ago. With that being said does anybody else have a problem explaining spirituality, meta physics, and everything that falls under that umbrella to people who have their owns beliefs? Its like I Know what I believe in but it get hard to articulate it to someone who's never really been aware of this way of thinking.

 Consciousness is subtler than thought, so thought is not the proper instrument to perceive it. Because we live in an intellectual culture which gives primacy to the intellect and thought,  people find it hard to recognize the fact that there is something more subtler than thought itself.

 There are some masters who are very articulate and was able to teach the message properly to laymen, like Jiddu Krishnamurti, Eckhart Tolle, Nisargadatta Maharaj, Jean Klein and so on.  But overall it is a very  tough job due to the fact that the intellect is describing that which is even subtler than it.

Imo, Zen Koans are also pretty useful teachings in this regard.

 


Self-awareness is yoga. - Nisargadatta

Awareness is the great non-conceptual perfection. - Dzogchen

Evil is an extreme manifestation of human unconsciousness. - Eckhart Tolle
