Knowing Is An Illusion

After being liberated I've always had times when the thoughts of self would take over again, it would be easy to see through though, all it takes is just one look at reality.

I found out though that the sense of self is usually accompanied by a sense of knowing, or certainty.

It's when the mind goes backs into it's old "normal" routine.

When the mind is programmed by a lie for a very long time, it usually takes time till the mind adjusts to reality; it had never had a real glimpse of it before.

But I found a way that could help anchoring people in liberation.

It's seeing through the illusion of knowing, and understanding, since both knowing and understanding are just layers added ontop of what is uknown to the mind, just to give the mind a sense of certainty, so it could start testing shit around.

There is no such thing as certainty, there is no such a thing as knowing.

Did  you know that you were going to the read these words right here at this moment? Did you know that you were going to think this instant thought right now? Do you even know what's going to happen the next second before it actually happens?

Where is certainty?

The mind has a big fear, a fear of uncertainty, mayhem, non-control.

But the reality is, you don't know anything, you don't know anything with 100% certainty.

Because there is no such thing as 100% certainty, there is no such a thing as certainty at all. Check for yourself.

If there was such a thing as knowing, then life would collapse in an instant.

Look at your hands for example, usually when you look at your hands, it's accompanied by a sense of knowing, knowing that this is a hand.

But did you ever know that you were going to to have that sense of "knowing?"

You might of never thought of this, but you would have never known that the hand existed before having a thought that it existed? the knowing of it's existance implies that there was something there before the thought happening that "knew" that it was going to happen.

In actual reality, knowing is nothing, reality is always unfolding in this present moment, and there is no certainty to it, there is nothing behind it, it is happening right now, and the truth is, there is no such a thing as actually knowing why it happens, or how.

So check for yourself, as a thought arises, ask yourself if you ever knew that that thought would arise now, ask yourself if you ever knew that the reading of this words would occur now, ask yourself if you ever honestly knew anything.

For the knowing to exist then the knowing of the knowing must be possible. It isn't. Because you could never have actually known that this sense of knowing would occur.

Love it!

You are in a free fall, did you know that?

And in fact, walking is simply controlled falling.

It's hard to say even what it means to move forward vs. moving backward.
