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.
