When all is said and done, there are only four things that you need to know about: the world, the mind, the heart, and you, the one who is experiencing the other three. If you know the nature of these four things, you will know all there is to know. The question becomes, at what level of detail do we need to explore each of them in order to know their nature?

Let’s start with the world. What is the nature of the world around us? That seems like an enormous topic, but at the broadest level, it’s actually pretty simple: The world’s nature is the existence of form. A field of energy has manifested into myriad forms in accordance with underlying laws. That’s about it. In order to know the nature of the world we don’t need to know the behavior of every fish that lives in the water and every animal that lives on land. We simply need to recognize that there is water and there is land, and there are animals that live in the water and animals that live on the land. That knowledge is sufficient for one who is exploring the nature of things. The world is something that exists that you are capable of experiencing. It was here before you came, and it will be here after you leave. You don’t need to analyze it. Just open your eyes, and you will see the myriad forms that creation brought into existence.
