Understanding Needs A Firm Foundation

Our understanding comes from a particular point of view. Where did we get that point of view from? Wishful thinking? Adopting beliefs? A book?

Or a personal realisation of the nature of reality of consciousness itself, that needs no justification as it is self-evident?

The test of our understanding is the way we respond to and deal with situations.
Do we respond with vagueness? Fear? Over-reaction? Hostility? Or unshakeable confidence?…

Whatever our understanding at this moment, it can be refined and clarified by dropping all preconceived ideas, coming to our practical senses, and being aware of the sequence of events resulting in our misunderstandings.

This awareness may happen gradually
or explode in a shocking revelation
of how much mud we have been under – all our life.

Understanding the meaning of understanding:
– to perceive the intended meaning.
– to infer something from information received.
– to be sympathetically or knowledgeably aware of the character or nature of something.

You see, understanding means looking into something;
it is that which actually creates our firm foundation,
rather than just adopting information,
and calling it a foundation.

Our foundation comes from understanding.,
and understanding needs a firm foundation.
