Entering The Force-Field

Question: It seems to me that life is a never-ending battle within yourself of who you are versus who you want to be. Can anyone say otherwise?

Answer: I can’t say otherwise. And I would also add that this inner battle is very good, this is what makes us able to grow.

“Who we are right now” is our present consciousness, perception of reality, sensing the world through our five physical senses and the “personal computer” that collects and digests the emotional, sensory input. It is important that we “record” this present reality, this is our foundation, or as wise scientists wrote, “the judge has only what his eyes see”.

On the other hand we already know that our consciousness, perception of reality is completely subjective, self-serving, egocentric. Thus in order to acquire a better, higher, less individualistic, less subjective, more ‘selfless and objective” viewpoint, we have to go through an inner change. We have to make effort – against our inherent ego that tries to keep us on our present level – to rise above the ego and attempt perceiving, experiencing life through the eyes, desires of others.

This is “above reason”, above personal logic, thus the attempted new consciousness, perception is considered “faith” from our present point of view as it lacks our present egoistic, subjective foundations. Still if we play act, rehearse that “higher” state in “faith above reason” in the right environment, through the right, purposeful and practical method, we actually change.

And through that change, through our inner change in consciousness and perception of reality what was “faith”, what was a desired but “unreal” state before, becomes our new “reason”, our new solid state supported by our “upgraded” egocentric, subjective point of view.

And then we can start working towards an even higher, even more selfless and objective point of view until at the end we create THE absolute, THE truthful, THE real consciousness and perception of reality that sees the world as the world is.
