The Opposing Illusions of Self

Right and wrong, good and evil is the perceived reality of a mind that thinks in terms of a result. It is a mind that is seeking through the conclusion of the activity of referencing. When you say or act according to preconception then you are escaping the moment. As soon as you make a judgement or have a conclusion you have left the truth and reality of the moment. A person enters the conceptuality of ones conditioned mind. If you can see the truth of this then you may have the realization that to not judge or conclude is to realize a peaceful state of existence, one in which the mind is tranquil. The mind that is in conflict and fear wants to dismiss what does not conform to the illusion of the known. We are constantly dismissing the obvious truth of each moment because the mind automatically clings to the continuity of the content of memory as the defined self. Mind projects its desires over and above the reality of what is. When you are aware of the minds activity of pigeon-holing every event then it is possible to side step this activity and see for the first time that, "what is", is the true reality of the moment. Then all else is realized as the illusion of the self created and self centered. But it is not without difficulty because the mind wants to escape into what it knows and what it believes to be right or wrong, good or evil. The minds ability to reason and conclude always steps in and justifies its escape into the conceptual. Unless you can see without judgement and conclusion you cannot realize an intelligence that transcends the self that knows. Perception is based on understanding. That understanding is either the result of what is known or it is the outcome of freedom from knowing, which is the intelligence of the unconditioned.

Seeing this all encompassing activity of thought as the self along with an understanding of motivation and seeking brings one to the origin of all conflict and fear. This is a very deep understanding that cannot be fathomed by a mind that is obsessed with finding through the illusion of what is sought. For it is clear that what is sought is the projection of ones belief which is the content of a conditioned mind. Only when a person is totally free is there the capacity to see and realize beyond right and wrong, good and evil to a state of existence that emanates love and understanding. Then ones life is spent in the eternal moment, in the light and illumination of a consciousness that is the dissipation of all conflict and fear.
