John Wheeler
In 2003, John heard the good news from "Sailor" Bob Adamson, who pointed out our nature of non-conceptual being or awareness and the absence of the limited person we imagine ourselves to be. With this heart-to-heart sharing, the spiritual search resolved itself. John enjoys sharing the pointers with those who are interested in self-knowledge and the resolution of seeking, suffering and doubt. John lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, where he works as a technical writer at a company in Silicon Valley.
It is actually the one unalterable constant, the ultimate and necessary ground of all possible experiences.
The mind can only push the envelope so far before it hits a blank wall. That is why it is said repeatedly that "the answer is not in the mind". In other words, the search objectively in the mind implodes. Still, you are present! But not as a concept. What you truly are, even here and now, is not appearing within the level of concepts. This is not an inference, but a bold fact of incontrovertible experience. You ask, "If you know for certain that it is not comprehensible in the mind, what else is there to do?" See the folly of the question! Who is this "you" (in the question)? And is not the question only another attempt by the mind to find reality at the level of concepts? Think very carefully about your comment: "If you know for certain ...". This "you" stands at the borderline between concepts and what is prior to concepts. You are actually standing in and as that which is prior to concepts, but you are not quite appreciating that fact. There is still a slight interest to find yourself in an appearance. Therefore, full stop. Any doing would be from the point of view of a false phenomenal entity, which is only an appearance, not reality itself. Keep in mind that in all of this, you have not disappeared. You have not denied your being. That is what is being pointed to.
