Zen, like all self- knowledge, can be ambiguous. What does it mean?
You can only know half of reality, at best.

Consciousness can observe many things, but it can’t observe itself,
because consciousness is the one looking. It can never see itself,
because it’s the one looking.

maybe it’s better just to look, listen, and hear, right now
without trying to make sense of it…because you’re handicapped
coming out of the gate.
