Contemplation as a way of alignment

In any inquiry, I go as far as my being really lives.
Once I remove all the veils, then the self-evident is the same as my own being.
When every conceptual overlay falls away, there is no gap between what is evident and what I am.
In that picture, the deepest truth isn’t something the mind possesses.
It’s something the mind ceases to obscure.

The very reason I get into any contemplation is to remove the mismatch between the idea and my being.
Contemplation for me isn’t an intellectual hobby.
It’s a process of alignment.
Contemplation becomes almost like tuning an instrument.
If the string is slightly off, you hear dissonance.
You keep adjusting until the dissonance disappears.
Then one more source of friction between thought and being gets dissolved
