Heloisa to Rod and Piet

I would like to discuss some points of the first round of the WOK experiment.

Piet, when stating your working hypothesis, you mentioned the need not only to indicate the depth of the experiences of non-duality, but how those experiences could be deepened to beings living in a linear time. I like to describe this state of non-duality as a conscious direct knowledge. When in that state, we do not tell ourselves "Now I know what I did not know" but, "I have always known, I only did not know I knew", "It is what it is." As you said, everything is already perfectly complete. The metaphor of the "plastic wrap" that is between us and reality is a perfect one.

I wonder if the term experience, however, can be associated with information gained by the senses or the mind. I am saying this, because after having experienced, for moments, a non-dualistic sense of timelessness, later, when becoming aware of my physical body and of the illusion of our linear sense of time, that state became a memory that I now describe as an experience of a direct knowledge. When in that state, I could not say that I was experiencing it; I just was, in a total state of being.
