anyone else have thoughts on this?
This is a much used idea, but nobody seems to step in to explain it. Its source is eastern meditational traditions (one of which I belong to), and it alludes to our belief that we don't see our reality in the way it truly exists. If we could, we would become enlightened. So, we learn how to get rid of our normal, fixed ideas about the nature of reality, so that the real reality will become apparent to us. When we do let go of standard perceptions, knowledge of our true state comes about.
