Existence (or Being) Itself, and Consciousness Itself, and Love-Bliss Itself Are The One, Indivisible, and Intrinsically egoless Conscious Light That Is The Intrinsic and Self-Evident Self-Characteristic of Reality Itself.
And, because neither one nor all of These Three can be observed or inspected (or “experienced”, or “known”) As It Is (or As “They” Are), and (therefore) because Existence (Itself) cannot be observed or inspected or “experienced” or “known” (As It Is)—It is also never possible to observe or inspect or “experience” or “know” What even any thing or conditional event, or even the conditional “self” (or ego-“I”, or “self”-contraction) itself, Is (because The Very Existence, or Intrinsic Being, of any condition at all cannot, Itself, be observed, or inspected, or “experienced”, or “known”). Therefore, neither The Divine (and Transcendental, and Intrinsically egoless, and Inherently Spiritual, and Perfectly Non-separate) “Self” (or Self-Condition of Reality Itself) nor the conditional “self” (or conditionally presumed “point-ofview- self”) can (“objectively”) “know” What any condition Is—because “knowledge” requires that “subject” and “object” (even the Ultimate “Subject” and a Great “Object”) be “different” and separate from one another. However, because It Always Already Is Existence (or Being) Itself, and Consciousness Itself, and Love-Bliss Itself—The Transcendental, Inherently Spiritual, Intrinsically egoless, and Self-Evidently Divine Self-Conscious Light can and Always does (Inherently, Non-conditionally, and Divinely) Self-Recognize (As Itself) What every arising condition Is.
And This Self-Abiding Divine Self-Recognition (or Most Ultimate, and Perfectly Subjective, Self-Identification) Is Inherent, Direct, Tacit—and Prior to all conditional “knowing” or “experiencing”. Therefore, unless the conditional (or “objectified”) “self” is grounded (and, thus, transcended) in The Ultimate and Perfectly Subjective “Self” (or The Transcendental, and Inherently Spiritual, and Intrinsically egoless, and Self-Evidently Divine Reality), the conditional “self” (by itself) does not (and cannot) Fully, Finally, Ultimately, or Really “experience” or “know” conditional (or “objective”, or “objectified”) reality. The psycho-physical ego-“I” (or body-mind-“self”) is a conditional (or limited, temporary, and always changing) “experiencer”—and a (likewise) conditional “knower”.
Therefore, all egoic “experience” and all egoic “knowledge” is limited, temporary, always changing, and merely and only psycho-physical.
The ego-“I” is a conditional process in conditional space-time.
The ego-“I” is a seeker for conditional “experience” and conditional “knowledge”.
And the ego-“I” is an accumulation and an “effect” of conditional “experience” and conditional “knowledge” (or an accumulation and an “effect” of the “subject”-versus-“object” convention of all ego-based perception and conception). However, the ego-“I” arises in Reality (or Existence, or Being) Itself—and as an apparent modification of Reality (or of What Is) Itself.
Therefore, the ego-“I” is never in a position separate from What Is—such that it could “experience”, or inspect, or “know” What Is.
And, for this reason, the ego-“I” does not and cannot “experience”, or inspect, or “know” What even any thing, event, or other Is.
Therefore, no matter what or who is “experienced”, or inspected, or “known” by the ego-“I” (or the “self”-contracted body-mind-complex), the ego-“I” (itself) does not and cannot Non-conditionally (or Divinely) Self-Recognize any thing, event, or other that it “experiences”, or inspects, or “knows”.
That is to say, the ego-“I” (or body-mind-“self”) cannot itself Non-conditionally (or Divinely) Self-Recognize its own psycho-physical “experience” (itself) or “knowledge” (itself) As Is—or As Reality Itself (or As Existence Itself, or As Being Itself).
And, therefore, the ego-“I” (or body-mind-“self”) does not itself (Inherently and Non-conditionally, or Divinely) Self-Recognize its own necessarily conditional “experience” and its own necessarily conditional “knowledge” to Be Self- Existing and Self-Radiant Consciousness Itself (or The Intrinsically egoless Divine Person, or Self-Condition, or Conscious Light, Itself).
And, as a consequence of its own inherent state of merely conditional (and merely conventional—or “subject-object”) “experiencing” and “knowing” (and, thus, as a consequence of its own perpetual failure to Non-conditionally, or Divinely, Self-Recognize its own conditional “experience” and its own conditional “knowledge”), the ego-“I” (or body-mind-“self”) always and inherently fails to transcend its own conditional “experiencing” and its own conditional “knowing”.
And, because of that failure (which is inevitable, and inherent in egoity itself), the ego-“I” is (itself) bondage to conditional existence in space-time.
The ego-“I” (or body-mind-“self”) is inherently, irreducibly, and irrevocably ignorant of what "IS". -F.Jones
