To say that you are conscious of yourself implies that there are two.

First, there is the consciousness.

Then there is yourself, that which you are conscious of.

It is the placement of impermanent phenomena outside oneself.

One who knows a source as source

and appearance as appearance takes their stand outside of outside.

One responds, not me, not mine, to all appearances.

Perfection is discerned in the instant that one releases all notions of what it's supposed to look like.

There is never a problem in the outside world.

All problems are in the mind.

The mind is like the moon.

It only shines by reflected light.

When the attention remains fixed on it, the light source, the mind and its machinations become immaterial.

Matter and mind are not separate.

They are aspects of the conscious life energy.

Mind is in time, whereas matter is of time and space.

Both appear and disappear as expressions of it.

Stated differently, mind constitutes a phenomena of consciousness.

Form is objectified mind.

Only that which is being created needs to be maintained in order to avoid destruction.
