From a site visitor: “You mention at the top of your webpage The Original Understanding, and I’ve seen the term in several of your postings but still haven’t seen an explanation that makes it clear what that is. Please clarify. Thanks.”
F.: Know that The Original Understanding—having preceded all concepts and ideas and teaching and beliefs—also preceded, therefore, the Vedas, Sankara, Advaita Vedanta, the Upanishads, the Tao, pagan religions (as well as the modern religions, all of which evolved from the pagan religions), spiritual movements, the Torah, the Bible, The Qur’an, words, languages, and emotional intoxication. To grasp The Original Understanding, therefore, you must move beyond the Vedas, Sankara, Advaita Vedanta, the Upanishads, the Tao, pagan religions, modern religions, spiritual movements, the Torah, the Bible, the Qur'an, words, languages, and emotional intoxication. None of those lead to The Original Understanding and all are marred by "The Numerous Misunderstandings." Additionally, to realize fully, You must understand how it is that You preceded all of that, how You even preceded the formation of this universe, and how You even preceded the formation of all other universes as well.
Also, you must come to realize that the Vedas, Sankara, Advaita Vedanta, the Upanishads, the Tao, pagan religions, modern religions, spiritual movements, the Torah, the Bible, The Qur’an, words, languages, and emotional intoxication can actually block your realization of The Original Understanding (because it can only be grasped via that which is already within whereas all of those are externals). While a guru may invite you to find all the lies that are being accepted as truth because of enculturation, only the inner guru can reveal the truth.
In that regard, no priest, medicine man, preacher, jnani, guru, evangelist, politician or any other person assuming any personal identity can reveal truth. Persons will draw pointers from the Vedas, Sankara, Advaita Vedanta, the Upanishads, the Tao, pagan religions, modern religions, spiritual movements, the Torah, the Bible, The Qur’an, or other works rather than reveal what has been realized via the inner resource. If you would grasp what is being pointed to with the term “The Original Understanding,” you must return to that state of purified consciousness that allowed humans to just BE and to function in an authentic (natural) manner as opposed to the phony (unnatural and supernatural) ways that are now fashionable among persons who are all imposters.

You can join persons referenced by the playwright—the ones posturing and acting and walking about as if on a “stage” and being a “player,” or you can come to know Who/What You Truly Are and then realize Your Self…Your True Self. Do that and You’ll under why the The Original Understanding can only be accessed from within rather than via the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Tao, religions, spiritual movements, the Torah, the Bible, or The Qur’an. And when The Original Understanding is fully comprehended, then all phoniness and all unnatural living will end. The playing of religious and spiritual roles will be transitioned, along with all supernatural, magical thinking. The power of the “mind” to control you will end because the “mind” will have faded away.
If that happens, You will revert to that “Original, Pre-Concept, Pre-Insanity Condition” that allowed the earliest humans to function in non-self-destructive ways because they were not burdened with any false self or selves that persons must be free of if they would be sane. Thereafter, having Realized fully, natural living will happen—automatically and spontaneously—for the remainder of the manifestation. You will not be influenced by “leaders” who would tell you what you must give up to be OK or by cultures that will tell you what you must accumulate to feel OK. You will be free and will be moved through the manifestation under the guidance of the sixth sense, the intuition, and the brain rather than by that storehouse of lies called “the mind.” All thinking will cease, along with all of that mind-clutter and mind-noise that constantly drove you to seek ambient noise to drown out the noise of the "mind." You will no longer hate the quiet more than the noise. You will no longer love the darkness more than the light. The Original Understanding preceded the “mind” and can only be tapped into in the absence of the “mind,” so allow the “mind” to go so the lies can go and so the truth of What You Really Are can once again be understood by You. Please enter the silence of contemplation.
