A simple observation: underlying and understanding are experienced as thoughts, and nothing more.
The veiling of this self-inherent simplicity is - the addition of conceptual explanations or analysis.
As you appear as a thought, you are aware of - a thought. Not as a thing, not as abstract or conceptual, simply as - a thought.
The notion that you are not appearing as and aware of a thought, is experientially lying - though there is no one lying.
It’s lying, or would be a lie, in that it is self-evident you are appearing as, and aware of, thoughts.
With respect to your true nature, the reality that you are innocence - self-respect - you, which are appearing as thoughts… are not a separate self, which is lying. There is no separate self which lies. That there is, would be a thought you are appearing as - belief.
Emotions are how the thoughts you’re appearing as, feel, to you.
Some thoughts resonate with you, as you’re appearing as thoughts—and some thoughts do not resonate with you, as you’re appearing as, and not separate of, thoughts.
Discordant emotions are under, lying. As you appear as a thought, which isn’t true, you which are appearing as the thought, feel the variance of the thought, as yourself, of yourself, with yourself. There is no separate self which is lying or is a liar, as that would be - another thought. A “conceptual analysis”—which is again, just another thought.
Understanding is under, standing. The thought ‘understanding’ points to that which is ‘under’, as in appearing as, the thought - ‘understanding’.
That which the thought ‘understanding’ points to, is that which is already appearing as, ‘standing’.
You are under, what seems to be you, as in a person, a body, a separate self, etc—standing.
There is no separate thing called ‘understanding’.
There is no separate self, which is ‘understanding a separate thing’.
That would be abstraction, conceptual - just another thought.
Understanding is a thought, that which is ‘under’ - appearing as - is being & aware of.
That there is a separate self which understands, understood, or will understand some thing in a future… are presently experienced, thoughts. More so, one thought appears & disappears, and one thought appears & disappears, and one thought appears & disappears - presently-only.
Exploring Thought Attachment:
Exploration of thought attachment is noticing (being aware) thoughts appear not from ‘somewhere else’ - but rather… noticing, (being aware) you are appearing as, thoughts.
The apparent content of thoughts can seem to imply there is a second, or separate self - a ‘separate self of thoughts’.
The one which is or isn’t lying, is or isn’t a liar, did or didn’t lie, the one which does or doesn’t understand, the one which understood or might understand something in a future. The “knower”, that “knows there is”, a separate self, other separate selves, a past, present & future.
These are thoughts you - Being - are appearing as; Being… being… thoughts.
Creator… Creating… Creation.
No separation whatsoever.
Discordant beliefs are thoughts, which don’t resonate with the unconditional truth. You are the unconditional truth.
Discordant beliefs feel discordant because the beliefs are about identity and are based on misidentification, as, a separate self.
There is no separate self. That’s an abstract concept, directly experienced as a thought, which you are appearing as.
A belief.
Being aware is ample & dispels the discordant illusion of separation (suffering).
The simplicity, beauty & sheer perfection of thought is that a thought appears, and disappears.
