Words
Communication is through words which are not reality. Words are an agreed upon representation of reality. Words allow us to recall an approximation of an image that is a formulation of the mind. The substance of that image and its relationship to actual reality is subjective and entirely a product of the mind that recalls. The conditioned mind of the individual will determine and limit the extent of understanding that is involved in communication. Since we think in terms of words that conjure images we understand by way of concept. The world that we live in is essentially a conceptual world.
Is it possible to realize, to see that conceptual understanding is actually understanding that is illusive and dependent on ones state of mind. It is contextual, very narrow and motivated by self interest. We understand according to what we want to understand regardless of the actual reality. Self image plays an important part in understanding, because it is from the self that we formulate. It is logically circular thinking. When we communicate we are looking for conformity that validates self image.
If you realize in the moment and observe thoughts activity as self serving, then it is possible for you to negate that activity. Through negation one is able to realize the truth of the moment which is understanding that is beyond the self that "knows". A person sees in the moment the conceptual activity of a mind that is caught in its own conditioning. Because the mind is so clogged up with images of a self defining nature it is very difficult to let go. It is as though you are losing your identity, which is exactly the point. To negate the illusion of a self that "knows".
Absent the self that knows, there is an entity that is intimately one with the unknown. That which is true reality and the unfolding of that which is an absence rather than a presence. It is the experiencing of a clarity that is beyond all knowledge. It is intelligence that is without intellectual attachment.
So I continue to write in groups of words that really have no meaning. Except that a person(s) may read a sentence and see themselves in the words and realize in a moment of clarity the truth of the unknown. The origin of the truth is within each person, it is the truth of the absolute moment which is there for all to realize.
