The limits of programmed men

K says, The brain is born with instinctive human programming, much like all other animals. It reacts to stimuli based on the programming leading to an action. The experience creates more programming, one may say it leads to accumulation knowledge. So the faculty of knowledge of the brain is limited, since there is always something new that can be added to it. Knowledge is stored up as memory and thoughts are based on it, or a projection of thought into the future and this is how thought and time operate. By this inductive argument, we say thought is limited. So thought produces division between the known and unknown, i.e it's not the whole or the ultimate. The division leads to conflict between the self, all the things it wants for itself that it knows and what actually is, the unknown.
So having understood the limitations and consequences of knowledge, time and thought one immediately ends them, then there is perception of things as they are. This is intelligence, meditation and the end of suffering. This is the death of the self and all it's conditioning. What's left after it is pure awareness which doesn't differentiate between the observed and the observer. When the awareness dissolves it is death and when it comes forth it is birth. The universe are brought forth and dissolve from that intelligent, infinite, energy which is all there is.
