Is the Mind real?

Is the Mind real?


The question of the reality of the mind.

Is the mind real?

And obviously the experience of the mind is real.

But it is real to the mind.

The mind experience itself.

The mind feel that it is real, the experience and itself.

And we dare to question beyond that which the mind feel, beyond that which the mind say.

What is the reality of the mind if it is not seen or if it is not examined?

If it is not questioned by the mind.

Anything that the mind question, the mind seek to know.

And if the mind pretend not to seek to know, it seeks to know that, that it doesn't know.

But it's all projection of knowledge upon itself.

For if it is truly unknown, the mind cannot touch it, meet it.

To the mind, the unknown is knowledge.

To the mind, the unknown is temporarily unknown, even if this temporal will take millions of years and endless evolution of intelligence.

The mind cannot comprehend, hence it cannot question honestly and truly and fully and holistically the question of not knowing.

So what is it in you as you are now that question without knowing?

Without wanting to know.

Without hoping to know, which includes pretending not to know.

What is the absolute question of not knowing?

It doesn't have words.

It doesn't come because you invite it.

It can be revealed when you truly and honestly meet a question beyond the known.

And it is suggested that the question "Is the mind real?" can only be met beyond the known.

Met meaning it can only flower, it can only be real question with true essence in it when you truly don't know.

And when you stop pretend to know, and when you stop pretend not to know.

Truly, fully, wholly not knowing, that is the question.

The question of unknown is the unknown.

It is not the mind.

So answer will not come here, and if it will, you should discard it for yourself immediately because it has no meaning, it tells no truth.

It must be knowledge.

But if you choose to look into it within yourself as a mind.

And put a question mark with regard to the reality of the experience of that mind that begin by feeling it is real and never question the reality of itself.

Maybe you may find yourself very comfortable with not knowing, with the question.

And with the encounter of a reality that cannot be known or experienced or told about or any other trick that the mind suggest.
