Thing is, how can understanding itself be understood, without being self-referencing? 

Because theres something else that happens there. Its very challenging to put it into words. Because its almost more of a qualia if anything. But deeper than a sensation.

What does understanding have to do with the state you get while contemplating?

You said that understanding feels slippery and mysterious, the contemplative state I'm talking about does too.

Of course there is a close relationship.

Of course understanding has to understand itself. The self-referencing is not a bug, its the feature.
