It Takes One To Know One
By: Donovan Rundle
Oxnard, California
There is wisdom in common sayings such as: “It takes One to know One.”
The whole of a knower’s individual mind/heart/body,
United with the Universal Chi – actually One.
This Chi Alone knows All Yin and Yang in balance as the One Absolute –
“I am That.”
All else falls short, remains fragmentary, inadequate, or merely intellectual.
Be that which you wish to know. Be that totally, eternally and infinitely. “It takes One to know One.”
How can the part know the whole otherwise?
No, there is no external standpoint, no outside or inside.
No, it must be One with the Whole, seeing and being All/One without measures of time/locality.
Only the perfect and the eternal and infinite knows the essence of itself
through itself Alone.
It is All One, and as such encompasses more than the merely general and individual.
Your suffering may make your wish for freedom strong –
Strong enough to empty consciousness of its content. What then? What is there?
Complete identification… with…
The immobile silence, empty of all but Itself, full of Love and Truth.
