More Writings Under a Tree

The illuminated one is born out of time, space, and matter -- the trifold womb of nascent spiritual consciousness.

Illumination is the path of mind seeking its own source.

A symbol is always something less than that which it represents. That is why symbols are secondary realities. But symbols are the only things presented to mind in the experience of life, and until only when mind is able to read those symbols is it permitted to approach reality. This reminiscent of "Neo" deciphering the code of the matrix in the movie "The Matrix". The code being, in reality, the intrinsic meaning behind all life experiences. To apperceive meanings rather than to impose conditions is the proper activity of the mind approaching illumination.

Illumination is liberation of the mind. It is the experience whereby mind beholds reality for the first time.

All thought is partial truth. Knowledge is the whole truth.

Knowledge is not thought. Knowledge is fullness.

Mind is the medium between spirit and matter. But, emotion is the medium between mind and matter. Thus we have the fourfold constitution of the universe.

What is God? Who is God? God is absolute fullness -- something the mind cannot conceive. The mind itself is a condition of fullness and cannot give rise to, create, or conceive of, something greater than itself.
