Correct understanding
that is consciousness
liberator of slavery
incorrect understanding
is slavery.
Understanding the “incorrect”
as “incorrect”
it’s also consciousness.
But realize also
that both come from nothingness.
So what’s the difference?
That’s awareness too.
Awareness and unconsciousness
both also come from nothing
all originate and end in nothingness
that absence is all that exists.
So why life?
Without life
from where we know
about awareness and unconsciousness?
Understand reality as a reality
unreality as unreality
understand consciousness
and unconsciousness as is
then go beyond
because of understanding
is the twin brother of incomprehension.

The first four lines got me! The incorrect, correct, and slavery in thoughts and action are all the basics for thinking humanly!
With all humility, I thank you and grateful that you have captured my point, Icy.
This is as deep as the void in a blackhole! My consciousness has been torn in two.. One seems to comprehend what the other cannot understand!
Hehehe. Another beautiful thought provoking post, my friend.
By the way, I am now starting to wonder how you are related to the Riddle?
Hehehe. Peace.
After a long agitation in following the thoughts and lifestyles of the status quo, I have rebelled. Through a certain path, little by little I have found the answers. Next, I want to know also the opinions and deepest desires of many people.
Besides, through your “The Riddle” I also want to find friends who desire the same, who knows we can enrich each other awareness of our soul.
I really appreciate your appreciation and also ingenuity in ascertaining. Hehehe…
Oops. My Android applied autocorrect again. I was trying to say The Riddler. Hehe
Riddler? Who do you mean? If I may know, John?
Wow, beautiful thought provoking words!
Thank you for your compliment, Jerry
So glad to read your incredible post again!
So glad to read your appreciation again, dear kind girl, Gina
Reading your writings always makes me think for a while but after that, they all made sense where it is relatable.
I am glad that you have been willing to read my writings, Cassy. One of my principles is “Keep away the mind (and the ego) out of bondage, status quo, and fall asleep in the comfort zone.”, So writing like this is the way to always remind myself with methods like a washing machine; stirring, turning, settling dirt down, clear, and on and on and on. Thank you very much, Cassy.
Thought provoking!
Thank you, Michelle
So… after reading this a few times I came to the conclusion that we can believe in what we want to believe, the more the better the outcome perhaps. After all, who really knows what is reality and what is not.
My dear friend Carol, believe is often not an option but the knowledge and experience of others that put into our belief system. All paradigms that are repeatedly planted into our conscious mind eventually become our beliefs and affect our subconscious and vice versa, from the subconscious mind affect our reality.
What choice do we have to choose our own beliefs if all that we can believe is the idea or paradigm offered by others?
If we want to believe in the truth, the only way is to abandon or temporarily ignore all of it and find another reality, another experience of our own lives.
On the other hand, we certainly understand that some dimensions of ourselves; physically, mentally, emotionally, energy and spiritually, have their own consciousness. Can we say which one of the consciousness rarely plays or speaks out?
Perhaps the quietest consciousness is the key to finding answers to what we want to choose to believe. But one thing is certain, it is in dire need of courage.
Wonderful post!
Thank you very much, Ellie
Beautiful & thought provoking…

Thank you, Elenka
This thought-provoking and outstanding
Thank you for your appreciation, LaJenna
Great, yes ignorance is a clear path to slavery. Great post
Thank you, Pamela
Enlightenment is not necessarily the key to salvation, but ignorance is definitely the path to slavery
Steady opinion! True, enlightenment is not the key to salvation because both are different paths.
The path of enlightenment may also lead to salvation, but not always. That’s all I meant
Hmmm… okay…
Amazing Albert!
You are welcome, Hamza
Thanks!
Hmmm… you are so kind, my friend
Great work!
