An Insight Into The Nature Of Insight.

[ExploringReality]

I just had an amazing insight into the nature of insight and I want to share it with you. After my first amateur boxing fight, I'm contemplating the nature of boxing. There was a lot of drama with my opponent before and after the fight, his coach was telling him that he was going to knock me out in front of all my loved ones babies and dead relatives, but they were so respectful to me in my face and they were very bitter and salty after I won the belt and put the metal around his neck. I stayed humble and even discovered that they uploaded the full fight but with the coaches biased commentary talking through the fight and really disrespecting me. He even openly admitted on cameras of cheating. It's illegal in amateur boxing to rub an excessive amount of Vaseline over your fighter's headgear because it makes it very slippery to land clean shots and reduces the friction upon connection and I got head butted in the fight too but I never flinched or looked at the ref, the ref seen it all and the judges seen it all. I outboxed him with one hand because just 3 weeks before the fight I received six stitches on my right hand from a laceration. Most fighters would not step in from that kind of injury. I had one hand, one purpose and I had one result, I took the Belt home to my babies. They're bitter and salty talking, shit about me on Instagram and just disrespecting the sport of boxing. 

 

So this connects with my insight because as I'm contemplating what boxing is I realized that boxing is more than just landing a big punch. Boxing is a science and an art and it includes timing, distance, range control, angles, positioning and footwork because it starts from the ground up. And while I was having this Insight I started contemplating about what Insight is. And it hit me because an Insight happens in a state of not knowing, because I was completely open to the question and inquiry as to what boxing is fundamentally and its essence. That I started to notice that I allowed myself to be open-minded and to remain in a state of not knowing while inquiring into the contemplation. And so here's the insight. Insight occurs in a state of not knowing, radical open-mindedness and a focused intention to become directly conscious of whatever it is that your contemplating. It's not about knowledge or logically saying that you understand. Even in fields or domains that you're excellent at you're probably overlooking the most fundamental essence of what this thing is and you can only realize it in a state of not knowing and determined focus to contemplate it from the ground up. So that's the Insight that I had into the nature of insight, you're not chasing some answer or you're not trying to explain it to yourself in a way that makes sense, it's literally an inner seeing and conscious recognition and realization of the truth of something.

You guys keep amazing me when I get moments of clarity. I can only see your insights when I can see your insights even if you tell it to my face I won’t get it until I do.

From the not knowing comes effortless power

Thanks. Yes exactly 💯 a state of not knowing is an Emptiness that flourishes and blossoms into beautiful insights and consciousness

Yeah, you kind of see everything with a clean slate or new eyes. 

The mind naturally wants to label and judge everything, which can create one heck of a dream story.

When these habitual perception flaws and judgments start crumbling under the weight of truth, the unknowable THIS is lifed out from behind the veil.

And sometimes the insight ends up being, "the recognition that insights are also just another illusory layer of this empty dream story" 

Paradigms can really start collapsing

Good job:)

Boxing is tough but I'd be more careful with the contemplation though... You can actually get KO'd by an insight!

An insight is when a door opens in your mind and what was previously hidden becomes obvious.
