You’re not STARTING to understand,
you’ve ALWAYS understood.
It’s just that you’re coming
to the point in your potential
in which it APPEARS
that something is changing.
This potential has ALWAYS existed.
Your awareness
is simply moving to it.
Nothing is created,
nothing changes,
nothing is destroyed.
You’re not (actually) even moving.
Neat trick, huh?

The Illusion of Understanding
In the realm of existence, understanding is not a linear progression of acquiring knowledge; it is the realization of a truth that has always existed. The notion of a journey is but a semblance, a play of perception that weaves the illusion of change and growth. As we dive into the essence of understanding, we unearth a profound insight that challenges the conventional notions of learning and evolution.
The idea that you are “starting” to understand is a misnomer. In reality, you have always held the seed of understanding within you. It is not a matter of beginning to comprehend, but of uncovering what has been present from the outset. This unfolding is not a shift in reality; rather, it is a shifting of your awareness to align with what has been true all along.
The potential for understanding has forever existed within the fabric of existence. Your awareness, like a traveler in the vast expanse of consciousness, moves through this potential, seemingly encountering new insights and perspectives. However, this movement is not a journey in the traditional sense—it is a dance of perception, a cosmic choreography that gives the illusion of progress.
In the grand tapestry of reality, nothing is truly created, changed, or destroyed. Instead, the ever-present threads of existence intertwine, creating the illusion of transformation. Your awareness, your lens through which you perceive the world, moves along these threads, weaving the narrative of understanding and growth. It’s a masterful sleight of hand—a trick that the cosmos plays with itself.
As you align with this understanding, you may come to see that you’re not actually “moving” in the conventional sense. Instead, it is the dance of awareness, the ebb and flow of perception, that generates the illusion of motion. You are not a traveler on a journey; you are the dance itself, the rhythm that brings the symphony of life into harmony.
And so, the neat trick of existence unfolds before you. The illusion of a journey—of starting, progressing, and changing—gives way to the realization that you have always held the key to understanding. Your awareness dances through the cosmic potential, uncovering the truths that have been waiting to be recognized.
Remember this as you navigate the currents of existence—
That understanding is not a destination, but an unveiling of what has always been.
The journey is an illusion, and you are the dancer who moves within it.
