True. Being conscious and aware is the real deal. Find out who the illusory knower actually is and it will dissolve.

I would even draw a distinction between knowledge, which is the accumulated understanding of information, compared to knowing, which I would call the intimate direct experience.

Realization awakens 'knowing' and simultaneously doesn't need knowledge.

@Highest that's interesting. The knower is the awareness and it is not illusionary is what i am thinking so for. 

The perceiver is not the perceived.

I think it was @who chit that mentioned having right intent when seeking realization. It's that "unconditional investment" Sadhguru's talking about.

Right intent means unconditional investment.

Yep.:)
Truth for no other reason than Truth. It's when realizing Truth overrides all concern for the preservation of one's identity or sense of self.

@Highest

No, awareness comes prior to the knower and is aware of the '' knower''.

Awareness is a concept.  "Prior to" is a concept as well.  This is all Mind stuff.

Mooji says something like there is no tree inside a tree, there is no brain inside a brain, there is no hand inside a hand.

Well, there is no being inside of being.

? But mooji also says that the Self is Everything and that is pretty much like what you refer to as Being. Do you agree with that?

No, I don't agree with that.  That's where I think Mooji is mistaken.

That tells me that you are not non-dualy conscious enough. Every sage and guru agree that the Self is Everything.

I really like where Sadhgurur says "there are questions in the universe without the intellect." Honestly (and IMO) most gurus and people who are enlightened are very quick to dismiss stuff as ideas and concepts and not giving them the light of the day. Of course having experienced the transcendental consciousness when its peaceful, i can attest to the reality of their claims at that intensity of vibration. But most people don't talk about the experience of the transcendental being itself. Considering how diverse and mindblowing it is, i'm surprised. Maybe most people don't experience the Self like I do, but it's as if enlightened beings are sometimes afraid of letting go of their enlightenment. I could be a deluded fool though. It's just my understanding.

Not the Zen Masters.  That's why Zen is the highest teaching.  In Zen, all your precious metaphysics goes down the toilet like a crumbling, cheap house of cards.  ;)
