Seeking to Understand

Seeking to understand is a direct manifestation from our identity as inadequate and insufficient. All seeking to understand anything for the purpose of our need to feel "good" is a reification of our inadequacy. There are no exceptions.

All that we will ever need to know we either already possess or will come to us when its time is right.

Everything that we need to know is a consequence of direct observation. If we observe the same phenomenon many times, we can assume that it is a tentative truth.

Every thing we believe to be true needs to be questioned anytime the belief conflicts with apparent reality. Truth is fluid and ever changing. All truths are, ultimately, only true for a singular time and vantage point. They are, therefore, not absolutely true, but only true relative to something else.

The only thing that is absolutely true is the self. The self is the one and only thing that cannot be sought or understood or captured or possessed. It is only here and nowhere else. That is why all seeking for it is a movement away from the self.

Cease seeking anything for a psychological purpose. All such seeking is unhappiness in the guise of doing something. It is a form of avoidance little different from any other distraction.

Knowledge for its own sake is primarily for the swelling of the ego. It is, therefore, just one of the millions of ways we seek to hide our identification with inadequacy. See this in your own life.
