Koan 7

What do we see everywhere but rarely notice?

 

Light.

Things we see are not things, just light reflecting off things.

We don’t see that light (Energy) is the essence of all things. Energy is Mass moving at the speed of light squared (E = MC²). All things (Mass) are energy slowed by the speed of light squared (M = E/C²).

All things, outside and inside, are light.

Perceiving things otherwise, as solid or distinct from other things, is an illusion.

As all things are light, all things are enlightening. When you see things as things are, what are you?
