Aware of Ignorance

There is much ignorance to what an awakening is, for those awake there’s simply awareness of this ignorance. Remember this, the ignorance that tells you to do something is the same ignorance that questions why it was done…

All ignorance is a product of your own mind and until there’s awareness of this, the ignorance remains. One of the most important things to realize when it comes to removing the veil of your ignorance is, the mind that tells you to do something is the same mind that questions why it was done. Think about how your own mind questions itself, so what you‘re basically doing is arguing with yourself. What’s crazy about this is it’s almost like there are two entities with different views. This goes on in most lives every single day without realizing it. But don’t be fooled by the questioning because even the view that isn’t questioned creates just as much ignorance; to be awake is to be aware of this ignorance.

An awakening isn’t a magical state, it’s becoming aware of the thoughts that hold you in ignorant captivity, that’s basically it. It’s in this awareness that one naturally stops attaching to these ignorant thoughts. Being awake doesn’t stop them from arising, but with awareness the ignorance of what happens when there’s attachment is seen. Until this is realized the mind that tells you to do something will ignorantly continue to question why it was done, and because of this there will continue to be ignorance as your own mind holds you in captivity…
