Is Negation a Conclusion?

Some have said that the negation of what a person has said or written is a type of conclusion or judgement. This statement has validity if one is seeking to agree or disagree. When one gives full attention to a writer or speaker, what is taking place? Are you referencing your experience, the catalogue of information contained in the conscious mind? Does this include your beliefs and opinions? Negation has to start with the self. One must negate the authority of the self otherwise one is only looking for that which conforms. One is looking through the image of self. Do not engage in an exercise of finding fault in what others say, only realize the reflection of the self that is projected into what is said or written. One is not negating another person one is negating the perception of illusion that is wholly a product of the dualistic self. The writer or speaker is of no consequence, they are the mirror of relationship. The truth is in the reflection or that mirror.

One does not negate or affirm a personality, only the superficial understanding of the conceptual. When one negates ones own authority one also negates the authority of the other. When there is no authority there is no one to conclude about or to judge. There is only the truth of that which is unconditioned. The truth cannot be known as a direct result of an activity of thought. Direct knowing is not possible because the self that knows is born of the illusion of ones dual nature. It is, when all authority as the self and the other has been negated. Truth is realized in the moment, but never known. It arises and dissipates from moment to moment. If remembered as concept and applied as the known, its validity has been lost. One cannot teach truth, one can only realize it for ones self in the absolute moment.

Negation is not a conclusion or a judgement, it is the dissipation of the authority of the self that is choosing. When one is aware without choice then the self is negated and along with it all conclusion and opinion. With the elimination of ones own authority a domino effect takes place in which all authority falls. What is left is the freedom of the unconditioned, the true self. One realizes directly the origin of all conflict, confusion and violence. And it ends.
