The realisation of the nature of the knowing or awareness with which the mind knows its knowledge is not a new form of objective knowledge. Rather, it is the remembering, recognising or knowing again of the pure knowing that is seemingly veiled, forgotten or overlooked as a result of the mind’s focusing on objective experience. Thus, to know itself as it is, the mind need only relax the focus of its attention from the objects that it seems to know and allow its knowing to fall or flow back into itself. In fact, it is not so much that the mind focuses on things that are ‘other than itself’, but rather that it becomes mixed with or lost in its knowledge of things, in the same way that a screen seems to get mixed with or lost in the movie.
