The Two Ignorances

The maps-of-words are employed to convey certain ideas, but once the ideas are understood, the words may be abandoned.

Ordinary consciousness is no more than the unprofitable, induced attempt to grasp the processes of reality and hold them to be solid, consistent forms.

There are two Ignorances: the Smaller and the Greater.  The Smaller is in believing you know what manner of thing you are, while the Greater is in believing you are a thing.

Each man’s ordinary “I” is but the mechanical termination of the nervous system circuitry...
What a shocking thing to Consider!

Appearances are not deceiving,
Appearances are just appearances.
