Negation Experts Beware

Making the state of negation your new identity is as blind as attaching to any other belief system, teaching method or philosophy. Being versed in non dual lingo, and becoming a forum Nazi, to be part of the non duality clique, does not make you more aware, much less more awakened.

The path of awakening is one of a warrior against himself. He discovers his current perception as limited, invalid, a lie, and begins to gut through the belief systems and notions of self to dismantle his current being with diligence and force. It is to strip the self of all the labels that currently entangle it, not to replace them with identity to the void, but to open the self up to what is beyond the duality through which reality is currently being perceived.

If you think that in knowing negation, you are making progress, you are more blind than the ignorant herded sheep. All you've become is the biggest expert at denying your self. Isn't that exactly what was intended to be avoided here?

It takes courage and will to stare your self down, to see each shadow to it's face and say goodbye. It takes endurance and stamina to always be willing to take it further. It requires extreme amount focus and intent to keep going inward instead of outward, especially when the habit is to build the self from external surroundings. But most of all, it takes humility. To be humble enough to see your misperception, be grateful, and surrender to the transformation. Only then, would you be willing to empty your self out, and listen, instead of keeping your cup full of arrogance and assumed knowing.

You see the big hole of unknown and you don't jump in. You tip toe around it saying 'I need not worry, it's not really there.'

The only thing not there is an ounce of clarity.
