Truth and Understanding

Identifying a truth requires that one not be attached to any of the aspects of identifying that truth for if such an attachment exists it shall cloud that truth.  Also, one must not be attached to that truth for all truths are impermanent.

Does any truth exist outside of one's mind?

Is one's true self a duality whose truth is, therefore, not recognizable?

Mindfulness develops concentration that leads to understanding.

There is no truth, only different interpretations for reality is graded and with it cognition.

There are levels of being and knowing.

Truth and Non-Duality (from the book)

            The simplicity of non-duality reveals truth.

            If one loves one’s self that will yield equanimity.

                        Equanimity yield non-duality,

                        Non-duality clarifies truth.

            No love, no hate, no concern

                        Being mindful of the now (redundant?).

            Let go of past attachments for clinging block truth.

            Let go of future concerns.

            Truth through understanding releases suffering.

            Deep understanding pushes aside petty issues.

            Why do we take things so personally when we are truly universal?

            The deepest truth is that there are no individuals

for we are each a composite of many others.
