Understanding that is Without Conclusion

What does it mean to understand? Is there understanding that is not a part of ones accumulated experience? Thought creates the conceptual, the ideal from the memory of experience. That experience is never a complete understanding of reality, because it is censored by the self which is seeking permanency through the duality of opposition. The self seeks permanency through the accumulation of experience which becomes the image of self. One views and experiences reality through the image of self which is based on the ideological concept of the separated that which is a disconnected entity. The process of thought is division. Thought creates the "I", that which divides the me from the not me. All thought is through the image of self, that which discriminates. Thought is seeking permanency through the self. It is the outcome of the desire to be attached to that which contributes to identity, to the formulation of individuality. With individuality comes that which is associated with a position. For every position there is
opposition. That is why one judges and concludes. One reacts from a position which requires conformity as confirmation of the image of self. However life does not conform to the image of self, so there is conflict which is the indirect result of conclusion.

Understanding that is the result of comparison is formulated through the referencing activity of ones conditioned consciousness, that which is concluding. True understanding is totally in the moment. To be in the moment is to cease all referencing. It is the dissipation of the self, of that which references. Understanding that is without conclusion means that there is no retention as memory. Memory retains understanding as concept and is only understood as it relates to the image of self. Understanding that is not a conclusion has relevancy only in the moment. This understanding is complete within its self and is without the projection of that which is the substance of all conclusion. The self is mired in the conflict of opposition, because opposition is that which recreates the illusion of self as the continuity of what was. The illusion of self displaces the truth of the moment. It is the opposition of separation of division. The outcome of the duality of opposition is conclusion.

When one is experiencing understanding that is in the moment, one may grasp the importance of realizing the true self. Seeing that is not attached to an image, that is not the continuation of the conflict and violence of the accumulated self. When there is no conflict there is no conclusion. One is not comparing what was with what is, which is the discrimination of that which is in the conflict of opposition. When one is totally aware of the moment one can observe the movement of the observer, how one creates a disturbance within and without by judging and concluding. With the cessation of the movement of the observer in time/space, there is only the timeless. It is the flower of understanding that transcends the known.

Conclusion is the projection of identification and attachment to belief. Belief is a form of desire of seeking that which gratifies. Conclusion as gratification negates true understanding. True understanding is absent belief. Belief which is the manifestation of conclusion. It is the acceptance of what is through the negation of self, of that which believes. Understanding that is the truth of the moment is without conclusion and that which concludes.
