It Cannot Be Known With the Mind, Yet It Exists - Understanding Our True Self - Part 13
The experience of transcendence connects us with the timeless essence of life
It Cannot Be Known With the Mind, Yet It Exists
Deep inside
We can feel it
We cannot think it
More real than anything we can know
When we try to hold it
It is gone already
When we try to name it
We are speechless
Try to control it
Is fighting life
Invisible for untrained eyes
Yet all the visible world is filled with its presence
Impalpable for the hearts of stone
Capable to melt mountains
We cannot touch it
But touched by it is pure grace
We cannot eat it
But when we become it, it eats us.
Feeling the grace
Experiencing its timeless beauty
Eternity becomes real
You cannot reach it
It is always there
Feeling What Cannot Be Known
Life itself cannot be fully understood by the mind. "We can feel it / We cannot think it / More real than anything we can know." By feeling the nameless, we transcend the limitations of the mind, and the intellectual framework through which we typically approach the world loses its dominance. In this state, we open ourselves to deeper realities that exist beneath the surface of thought.
Fighting Life
The mind tries to do the impossible—control what cannot be controlled. The nameless intelligence, which is active in everything and everyone all the time, cannot be ruled by an organ (the mind) that functions in a dualistic mode. However, because the mind believes itself to be the smartest force, it starts fighting life. This futile struggle to dominate what is beyond its reach leads to frustration and disconnection from life’s inherent flow and beauty.
Surrendering to life heals this destructive intention to outsmart existence. In our self-glorification, we believe we are the masters of life. Yet, life continually reminds us who the true master is, over and over again. The more we ignore this truth, the more disconnected we feel. To discover deeper meaning in life, we must learn to use the mind but also to leave it behind when it reaches its limits. Grace is a multidimensional, cosmic experience that the linear, dualistic mind will never fully comprehend.
The Invisible Yet Omnipresent
The mantra “what we cannot see is not real” symbolizes the limitation of the mind. When we cultivate deeper awareness of the present moment, without filtering it through the mind, we can perceive the multidimensional nature of existence.
Even conventional science, which is mind-based, affirms that most of the reality is invisible to the human eye (mind). Yet, modern Western life is still dominated by materialistic philosophy. If we wish to encounter the deeper truths of life, we must learn to be still and contemplate life as it is.
What we have to do is, be still and contemplate life as it is. This is the simplest thing and yet the most complicated to do.
Grace and Transcendence
"Feeling the grace / Experiencing its timeless beauty / Eternity becomes real" elevates us to the experience of “it is”. This state carries enormous transformative power, which we call Grace and Transcendence. Grace is not something we can seek or grasp—it is something we experience in moments of surrender, presence, and profound awareness. When we touch by grace, or more accurately, when we remove ourselves from the equation, we catch a glimpse of eternity. This experience of transcendence connects us with the timeless essence of life, allowing us to move beyond the ordinary flow of time and into a state of eternal presence.
