The Long Scroll Part 5
This section is interesting, there are a few cases that seem to relate, I will post them in the comment section.
Section VI
"Because the body of phenomena is formless, one sees it by not seeing. Because phenomena is noiseless, one hears them by not hearing. Because wisdom is knowledgeless, one knows it by not knowing. If you consider seeing to be seeing, then there is something that you do not see. If you consider non-seeing to be seeing, then there is nothing that you do not see. If you consider knowing to be knowing, then there is something that you do not know. If you consider non-knowing to be knowing, then there is nothing that you do not know. If one cannot know oneself, it is not because there is something to be known, but if one knows of things, it is not because there is nothing to be known. If you consider obtaining to be obtaining, then there is something that you do not obtain. If you consider non-obtaining to be obtaining, then there is nothing that you do not obtain. If you consider right to be right, then there is something that is not right. If you consider non-right to be right, then there is nothing that is not right. One gate of wisdom enters one hundred thousand gates of wisdom. If one sees a pillar and interprets it to be a pillar, this is to see the appearance of a pillar, and so interpret it to be a pillar. Observe that the mind is the phenomena of 'pillar' without the appearance of the pillar. Therefore, as soon as one sees a pillar, one will obtain the phenomena of 'pillar'. See all forms of material likewise."
This concludes section VI.
