The Break Through

There is a very basic realization that is the difference between living through ones illusion of self knowledge and living through a consciousness of unattached freedom. While it is basic in the sense that it is essentially the key to understanding that is beyond knowing, it is very difficult to realize. Since the mind is a store house of information, what we come in contact with is converted into the conceptual (the memory of). So without exception all knowledge is conceptual not actual. Our concepts become our conditioning. We think according to the conceptual content of our mind. Can a person think outside concept? If you try you will see that thought itself is concept. That is why thought can never go beyond the conceptual. But if one can negate conceptual conditioning as it becomes a conscious movement of the self then it is possible to come to a level of consciousness that is not of ones memory. Therefore it is "unconditioned". It is essentially total freedom of an entity that is in the absolute moment.

If you have thoughts of the unconditioned and how to attain it, then that is the minds illusion of conceptuality. One is seeking an item of ownership, so to speak. To have or not to have becomes the minds limited understanding. Only the self can own. The self is the illusion of an entity that is seeking permanency as the creation of thoughts accumulations. It seems complicated but it is really very simple. It is made complicated by the minds inability to let of go of its conceptualizing tendency, to understand through its conditioning.

I write a lot about freedom. But it is so very important that one realize that you are just spinning your wheels if you do not first free yourself of all your accumulated attachments of belief and conclusion. All belief and conclusion is based on the conditioned mind (consciousness). Until you break through your conditioning you will only be adding to a mind that is already confused and conflicted. You will continue to dwell in an existence of fear and anxiety that is the result of your conditioning. What we are talking about is in a sense the iconoclastic negation of all save the absolute moment in which one finds the true self. A self that is without the defining elements of ones conditioned consciousness, a self that is free of all attachment.

A truly anonymous person is psychologically without the need of identity or identification. This is the illumination of the unconditioned. Such a person accepts the reality of the moment without pre-conceptualization. Within and without there no judgement or conclusion. There is only the truth of the absolute moment. There is neither agreement nor disagreement, right nor wrong. This is the way of the truly enlightened. Once a person is experiencing the truth of the moment then conflict and confusion begins to dissipate of its own accord. Attachments fall away as a natural consequence of a mind that is free of its conditioning. It is the simplicity of life lived selflessly and consciously in the moment.
