"Without question, This is so." - KG (AKA Mr. Obvious)
How did you read those four words the first time I posted them? Same
now? It's not really a response to your comment, wasn't a response
before. it's a stand alone expression. It offers nothing, as with
questions this is still so, just not realized so.
To say "The answer lies in the disappearance of the question,,," seems
to still be clinging to this as it's own answer - which seems redundant
- or perhaps may appear to suggest something to do or be found where
nothing lacks (which can be read two ways) - as such is the nature of
expressing this.

What if it is, or isn't? No matter the answer, you still will/won't
know shit. You'll only have knowledge of some shitty answer claiming
to say what life is. How is this question relevant? What seeks this
shit? What will you do with such knowledge? Will it be life-changing?
That takes care of itself. *L*
Do you really want/need a story to tell you that this is this? Maybe
you'd prefer one that says it's not this? That's what most want, and
why they 'seek'. They read the stories and imagine themselves lacking
this and practicing to get that. That's the seekers way/hard
road/uphill path that eventually (or not) leads to utter futility
that forces seeing this is this and has been all along. Given this is
never not this, feelings of making progress toward this are more
often than not setbacks.
"Don't know' is not a position, choice, or state. Its simply
realizing the nature of ordinary mind. Not ignorance of, or
detachment from anything. Honestly recognizing we don't know, and
can't know - and that's not a problem as it's not about knowing.
Never was. "Don't know" mind doesn't arise before or before or after
anything. Non-arising. Unborn/undying. 'Don't know' mind is
'Original'/'Buddha mind', appearing as 'suchnness'.
Suchness is not an answer. No question can reveal this. This never
lacks. To ask, is to request a resolution to a non-problem requiring
no solution. The point of asking is ultimately to reveal the nature
of the asking, not to get any other answer.
