The Reconciliation of Conditioned Thought

Is it possible for one to be totally free of conditioned thought? Can thought ever be unconditioned? One must have a clear understanding of what thought actually is in order to have understanding that is itself not part of the process. If one is caught in time/thought then one will not be able to comprehend. One thinks in terms of that which has occurred, a point of reference. One uses logical inference to arrive at a conclusion. That conclusion is a product of ones conditioned thinking. It is the projection of self, which is not actual reality, the reality of the moment. If one is aware of one's conditioning, then it is possible to be 'experiencing' without referencing. One is aware of the movement of thought and through that awareness one negates the self which is seeking reconciliation of the unknown with the known.

This is the meditation of selflessness, which is without reference to that which is the self. The one who is seeking through the conditioned mind dissipates. This was Buddha's initial realization, and liberation from time/thought. Freedom that is not the freedom of result. Freedom that has no definition and cannot become the known.

Thought cannot become unconditioned because it owes its existence to that which is accumulation. One needs this conditioning in order to live, it is a basic survival mechanism.
But it carries over into the psychological and becomes the self serving modem of conflict and violence. The Accumulated self is the conduit for all that is prejudicial and all that exploits.

When one gets caught up in 'religious' pursuits in an attempt to find peace and tranquility of mind, one is just replacing one type of conditioning with another. One never experiences true freedom and liberation. Thought is ever engaged in the activity of modification and reconciliation. The totally new is avoided by thought because it would mean the moment to moment cessation of that which is self, self which is the creation of time/thought. Self only exist as that which was, as definition. The 'Self' is thoughts way of maintaining the illusion of permanency.
One modifies and reconciles that which does not conform. This is how thought maintains its hold on the illusion of self. Ones new religion is just a modification of what went on before. One can observe in one's self that there is still the hold of old traditions mixed with the influence of the new. One is trying to reconcile in order to give legitimacy to the new. One may engage in a substitution of tradition in order to make the new more palatable but it is in reality just replacing one type of conditioning with another. One can experience freedom through awareness of the process of reconciliation. Mind/thought/self is constantly engaged in the pursuit of security through identity and attachment with an ideal. That ideal is always a projection of the conditioned self.

Reconciliation is an escape from the reality of what is. It is the placation of the known with that which one perceives to be the new, the product of a mind that is seeking. The mind must have a profound realization of the relationship between the process of 'knowing' and the self which is the projection of the 'known'.
