Internal and External

 Spiritual advice - don’t look to the external, look to the internal. Yes but if you are looking at something, even if you call it internal, you here, it there and you looking at it, then it is also external. So it is more a case of being the internal rather than looking at it. And as for looking at the external, that seems all very obvious, you here looking, it there being looked at, but where does all this take place: in your mind or consciousness, and so the external isn’t external either. The internal external divide is brought together in being. Look down and see your hand. Is your hand external to yourself? How could that be?
