' Just Perception '...

Just Perception also reveals that Perception exists with no need of any movement - even though it appears as if the ‘body' of the viewer is moving around. The ‘flat' field will always deepen no matter where the body moves, but Perception requires no movement and Perception never moves. In fact, when looking out at a landscape through non-dual vision, the body may not even be there.

What I mean is, humans are used to thinking that it is ‘they' who are looking. Non-dual vision reveals that there is only Perception with No Perceiver. If a field is being seen ‘non-dually', all that 'exists' is that field. What is Perceived is all that ever exists in the narrative, in actuality, though it is stripped down, splintered off, and distorted royally by the senses. And yet still, that reality 'exists' in totality before us, despite our mental conditioning. The mind is constantly creating the sense that there is a body during the waking state.

That there are eyes. That there are limbs which can be felt. That is always the case, that is the game. But with non-dual vision, the mind's fiction is revealed. ‘Sight' of this nature is not happening from the head, necessarily, even in the mind's fictionalized construct. It seems more like a ‘full-body' seeing. Yet what it truly is is Just Perception. If a hand or a leg appears within the range of perception of that field of non-dual vision, this distinction becomes even more apparent. Just Perception perceives a body part, and an identity struggles to be maintained by the mind for that body part. It is ridiculously plain, in such a state, that ‘you' are in no means your body. The body - or parts of the body, or thoughts of the body unseen within the field arising - are really just more object bubbling up. Just Perception is all that is.

Awakening can usher in a deepening toward a more permanent grounding in the non-dual (and 'beyond' - it simply does not ‘stop' with non-dual realization. ‘Reality' is both the dual and the non-dual, as well as neither the dual or the non-dual - though of a stark brilliance and simplified complexity which dwarfs this pathetic attempt at a summation).

This grounding allows the connectedness of all form (and all non-form) to be apparent in cognizance. That is the case even if the visual equivalent of non-dual sight is not always ‘appearing' within cognizance on a continual basis. Thus, a ‘person' can ‘see' this connection of all matter, all things, all life, all form, all non-form, without necessarily seeing it. This truth comes as a “know”ing that is far more trustworthy than any information making their way in through the justperception.net. senses. In fact, when non-dual vision arises through the sense of sight, what is being ‘seen' is itself merely a confirmation of what is already “known”, breaking through via the gross and usually extremely untrustworthy mechanisms found within the sensory organs of ‘humans'.
