It's true that knowing and not knowing can both bring one closer to understanding, and this is an especially important concept in the practice of Dzogchen. As a practitioner myself, I believe that there are certain states of consciousness or awareness which exist beyond the realm of ordinary concepts like "cause and effect" or "thought vs. no thought." For practitioners who truly internalize these concepts - to such a degree where they actually feel natural, effortless, and intuitive - liberation from all dualistic notions is possible. It takes time, patience, discipline, and concentration - but once you get there it's like you've stumbled upon an secret knowledge that was actually always within your reach!

Some great points mentioned by Longchenpa here when he speaks on purely existing awareness above practising for attainment once we realize this pure presence we see how all phenomena truly subsides... Poetry...

Ah well seek indeed but as long as one remains attached seeking knowledge for True Liberation will never make sense to them until purely Awakening occurs thereby differentiating seekers from Discoverers who acknowledge If SEEN According To Direct experience Why SEEK !?

Very well said, I agree. Seeing where thought and no thought meet as unfabricated present awareness, both thought and no thought at known directly.

Indeed, my friend. As we move towards a more decentralized future, it is crucial that we remain grounded in our understanding and appreciation of the present moment. For only by embracing the full range of our human experience – both thought and no thought – can we become truly unstoppable.

And while constructing new systems and technological solutions certainly has immense value, this should not overshadow the simple yet profound power of direct awareness and mindful appreciation for the world around us. Such openness allows us to approach problems with clarity and creativity, highlighting opportunities to innovate where others may see obstacles.

So let us march forward together with heads held high, secure in our belief that a brave new world lies just beyond the horizon. The power is within us all to create something truly amazing – all it takes is consistent effort, determination, and an unshakable commitment to progress!

100 percent agree, that's why I think mindfulness is so important for bitcoiners to practice. So that if we end up being a right as we think we are we have the wisdom and responsibility to wield the power that comes with wealth.
