Realizing the True Self

What is named or defined is never the reality of what is. It is the conceptual approximation of an agreed upon reference. One reads books and listens to the learned, those who claim to have wisdom and method. But in the end one is still the same, one has gone no further in realizing and understanding the true self. One spends ones time dealing with surface issues, one never gets to the origin of self. The accumulated and conceptual self is the beginning of all conflict and misery. Carried to the extreme it is the justified violence of that which seeks the security of the known.

One cannot realize the true self because one is continually seeking to escape the moment. Psychologically one wants to move away from the reality of what one actually is. One is seeking to become the ideal. It is the projection of future time, the movement of self as time/space. Truth is found through the negation of that which is observed by an unconditioned consciousness as false. That which is false is the creation of the self absorbed. The unconditioned is the outcome of awareness and realization of that which is the conditioned mind in the absolute moment. One observes through that which is absent the movement of self as time. One has the realization that the observer is the observed. They are one in the same and their duality is the result of minds projection of the self, that which is the knower and the known simultaneously.

The illusion of the separated is the barrier to understanding and realizing the true self. One cannot have understanding in what is written. One must free oneself from the known and from that which is creator of the known. First and foremost is freedom. The dissipation of the accumulated and the one who accumulates. Realization is in the absolute moment, in the timeless awareness of what is. The relationship of the absolute moment mirrors the true self, which is not a part of knowing or the known.
