60. This and That

In the world that we think, there is, there are two aspects  a) ‘All that there is’ and b) The knowing of all that there is. The term a) is Called ‘This’ and the term b) is called ‘That’.

All that there is or THIS is known only by ‘Knowing’ or by THAT. If there is no knowing of something, that something cannot be known and therefore cannot exist. Knowing that something exists, is only in the ‘knowing’ of it, that, something exist.

In fact, the existence of THIS is its own Knowing as ‘Knowing’ or THAT.

We can say, without THAT, there is no THIS or THAT knows THIS and so THIS ‘is’.

Now, where is the knowing of ‘all that is there’ happening. The knowing of a pen is happening at the pen. The knowing of a tree is happening at the tree. And all this is being explained as if, THIS can be broken up in parts. Nevertheless, knowing the essence of one ,is knowing of all there is to know about existence. Knowing of ‘all there is’ is happening wherever they are and so Knowing is wherever all is there or simply termed ‘everywhere’, if there is such a term.

Coming back to the world, THIS and THAT seems to be two aspects  of ‘ONE’.  We cannot take, ‘all that there is’  separate from its knowing. So, the ‘knowing’ of all that there is, is itself, ‘all that there is’ and cannot be or exist outside of such knowing.  All that there is –is the BEING part and its Knowing is the KNOWING part. Knowing or THAT is BEING or THIS.

So ‘THAT’ is ‘THIS’

Now, all that ‘we are’ is the knowing capacity of ‘all that there is’. SO WE are THAT. Since there is no existence outside ‘knowing’  or THAT, ‘all there is’ is ‘THAT’ or what ‘we are’.

Understanding so far is the complexity, Now for the Simplicity.

There is no existence of ‘all that there is’ –outside of knowing. All that there is –is Manifestation and Knowing of THIS is the Unmanifest. So, Manifestation is the objective aspect of the Unmanifest or  Knowing. THAT or Knowing  or the Unmanifest is ‘objectified’  by all that there is or the ‘Manifest’.

Phenomenon or the Manifest, is objectivisation of the Unmanifest or Knowing or THAT or AWARENSS .

Phenomenon or Something or everything is the Manifestation of Nothing or ‘Knowing’ which is not a thing, objectively, and so not there at all, but exists as an absence of anything present or absent.

So What ‘we are’ or Noumenon is the Unmanifest or Absolute or ‘Knowing’ or ‘That’ of Phenomenon and Non-phenomenon ( which is absence of phenomenon) and are everywhere, wherever phenomenon appears, simply because, phenomenon is the objective appearance of Noumenon.

So, the above is a clarification of THIS and THAT, THAT what ‘we are’ as Objectively THIS or the appearance of the world.

Hope ‘you’ got THAT, because what ‘we are’ is THAT.
