No-thought is the unmanifest but the unmanifest is not reality.
Thought is manifestation and no-thought is the unmanifest.
Absolute reality is beyond thought and no-thought.
The unmanifest is brahman but reality is parabrahman.
No-thought waits at the gateless gate for reality to open it.
In the cosmic causelessness of things, maya is the only cause and effect.
endnotes
1. as deep sleep is the absence of duality, beyond the unmanifest is the presence of nonduality.
2. if manifestation is thought form, and thought is dreaming, lucid dreaming is seeing through thought-form.
3. no snake is not no rope.
4. gate, gate, paragate, parasamgate.
5. “Relax and watch the ‘I am’. Reality is just behind it. Keep quiet, keep silent; it will emerge, or, rather, it will take you in.”
6. for non-apprehension is the cause and misapprehension is effect.
afterword
koan and maya are two sides of one coin.
power is not absolute. thus absolute power corrupts absolutely.
love is the knot.
neti neti and the gospel of doubting thomas.
the only way is the tao of wu wei.
awareness is nothing if not self-aware. self-awareness is nothing but maya.
