The Illusion of Word and Concept

Because we think from a position there is always opposition. One does not completely understand the process of conditioned thought. When one is looking through the self, through that which is concluding we miss the truth of the absolute moment. One is often asked about the true meaning of a word/concept. How can one realize the truth of what is if mind is caught in the projection of what was? When one is caught in the conceptual, in the idealized, one cannot grasp the true reality of self. One is concerned with personal affectation. One is grounded in the illusion of self.

If one is consumed with an emotion or a psychological state of confusion and one is attempting to understand through definition, then one must realize the source. Words and concepts are often better understood through their opposite. A word or concept is defined through its opposite. When one looks through the opposite one realizes the seed or origin of what was. One must have the realization that one "is" the opposition. A mind that is seeking is a mind that is in opposition. To seek is to escape the truth of what is. If one is trying to understand through the conceptual it will only result in the confusion of a conceptual morass. One must be able to look with a fresh untainted mind. A mind that has understanding of the true self may realize the freedom of that which is unconditioned. It is a clarity that cannot be defined or conceptualized. It is seeing what is sans the referencing self. To seek meaning and reality in concept is to become attached to the ideal. This is what those who write books and give lectures convey. They are attached so they project that attachment through what they communicate. One cannot communicate the truth of what is. It has to be direct experiencing by the individual, otherwise you are just following another who is following another. If one has realization of the true self then one will see truth in all that is of the moment, regardless of the circumstance or the personality. The moment is the mirror of what is, which is the realization of the true self. It is the reflection of the absolute, of that which has no beginning or end.

One should always realize what ones motivations are. Motivation is the result of positional seeking. One wants to accumulate in order to define and refine the image of self. True understanding is without motivation. It is not acquisition that is the product of self gratification. One is always seeking the opposite of what is. One finds it difficult to stay with actual reality because the mind is always on the move. Mind is trying to realize its self in each moment. This is the key to understanding the duality of thought. When one has the realization that the observer is the observed, then there is the dissipation of all that hinders true understanding.
