Thought, along with its incessant activity -- that we commonly consider as “knowledge” -- is a kind of dark Lego block; (it is) constantly building, only to be compelled to repair its own flawed creations. But, what is Divine in nature is not a construction of the mind that imagines a kingdom to come; what is Timeless and True lives now, or never. To seek it elsewhere... is a fool’s errand.

Key Lesson
Summary
Imagine for a moment you're driving home from work, or wherever, and that you've just come from having a pretty rough day. As you drive along, your eyes see the road before you, but your mind is in the past. It's very busy re-running all of the day's unpleasant events.
Over and over again, you feel that painful stab of some thoughtless remark someone cruelly blurted out, or the embarrassment of that stupid comment you made without thinking. And with each mental replay of this unpleasant scene, you go deeper and deeper into thought, desperately trying to find a way to escape what seems an intolerable situation.
But what you don't see happening to you is that the more you think, the more you sink! Exactly the opposite of what you think you're accomplishing. And the deeper you sink in thought, the less you're able to see what the rest of you is doing.
Driving recklessly, speeding, missing the exit you want - these, and other equally dangerous stunts, are only a few of the foolish things that happen to you while driving under the influence of a stream of self-compromising, self-wrecking thoughts.
Your life, in moments such as these, is actually out of your hands. It belongs to your thinking, to the "me-first" mind. This undeveloped nature doesn't understand what it's doing to itself, or to you, as it struggles to find a way out from under the weight of its own unconscious actions.
What the "me-first" mind doesn't understand is that freedom is a state of being; the relief it seeks can never be a creation of thought. But there's good reason for this lower nature's ignorance, as well as for its covert efforts to keep us asleep in a similar state.
The "me-first" mind is out of business the moment we wake up to realize that free is what we are each time we can catch ourselves about to build another prison out of thought. Our awakened awareness instantly cancels our captivity. And as our self-created bondage fades, so does our desperate need to escape! What this lower consciousness doesn't want us to know is that we are already free.
