Independent Understanding

If you read a book, listen to a verbal lesson or teaching and you understand and agree or disagree with it, then what is it that you have learned and who or what is the nature of the one who understands or learns something? Can you see and realize that what you understand and agree or disagree with is the minds projection or modified projection of its accumulated knowledge on the subject at hand. You are adding to the established nature of self. It is the acknowledgement and promotion of a continuing defined self. You understand according to what you already understand. It is the limitation of thoughts dual nature. Truly, what you understand is the result of the continuity of what has been.

Now is it possible to understand independent of thoughts proclivities? To see and realize without logical continuity. If you are "thinking", you will have to say no, it is not possible. But if in the absolute moment there is no movement of thought, it is possible to realize something that has no connection to anything imagined or thought of. It cannot be defined or verbalized, for any attempt at it would invalidate the moment of its reality. You cannot capture it. It is not an occurrence in time, but a consciousness of the timeless. The outcome of this consciousness that is without a name or a word/concept is understanding that transcends what is known or can be known. An intelligence of intuit that is without origin. When there is an abandonment of self that is not a part of a programed activity of thought, then the door is opened to something that is disconnected. If it seems to you that I am dancing around a point of vagueness, that is so. Because if you realize something totally new it has to be original, without conception. So it is impossible to explain to you or impart a definitive action, to give you a system or path. You must realize directly, not through a self created and sought after ideal. In a sense you bypass your normal thought processes. Of course most will not see how that this is possible. But if you have passion for the truth of the moment you will come to a place that will exhaust the conditioned mind and allow a silence that is not contrived or sought after. In that moment of silence you will realize an intelligent simplicity that cannot be imagined. It will wipe the mind clean of all that limits and you will see without reference to the illusion of self.
