Post 22: When You're Done With Your Current Reality

What is your reality? Do you sometimes feel like you don’t belong in this world? Are you in this world but not of this world? Is there a growing sense of “separation” happening within your being that you just can’t quite understand. Or maybe, there is a deep sense of knowing that you as a soul, as a person have outgrown the current version of reality you were programmed into. 

I’ve been contemplating a lot recently about what it means to be human in this reality at this point in time in history. As we go about creating our days from our own points of perceptual awareness.

How many times do we really consider and question our perception of the experience we are having? Daily? Weekly? Only at times when life demands it? Or, are we so busy and consumed with existing and surviving, we never get that space or time to truly do this introspection. Do you live your life with a continuous sense of having a level of anxiety attached to it? 

The thing is, whatever our experience of life is, it’s “all there is”. The way we perceive and sense reality forms the human experience. This may seem logical, common sense and even redundant. I mean of course we realise that we are creating and experiencing our reality, right?

Yes, but to what extent are we aware, a participant, or observer in this process? How much are we on automatic pilot mode, going through the motions, thinking habitual thoughts from a belief system programmed many years ago and never questioned or challenged. Do we really know our reality that well? Or do we just accept the way it is, the way it’s always been, until some profound, a-ha, epiphany occurs that shatters that reality.

Here’s a question I have pondered for many years. What if, just like fish in the sea, we are unaware of the reality we are in so far as how a fish may not realise it’s living in water. Take the fish out of water and it enters an entirely new reality. One in which it may never have been aware of. Take the human out of it’s reality, the conscious realm, and he or she may enter an entirely new reality that was hidden before. Something to really ponder. 

And speaking of consciousness, ( what exactly is it??? ) knowing that having or being conscious means we exist, that much we can be sure, means we are susceptible to having that consciousness programmed and distorted from it’s natural source. Which leads me to the idea that we are living in an era of mass mind control, of what we perceive, therefore believe about our reality and therefore how we behave and act. 

Have you ever questioned the program or even been aware of it? Is it running in your mind on automatic pilot and you are not aware of this. And have you considered how it can be manipulated and distorted especially by means of technology. Isn’t it funny how technology is the perfect means to spread, communicate any idea or belief system quickly and effectively.

Here’s something else which can relate to our vulnerability to being programmed by mind control, ideologies, systems etc however subversive or covert. How many times have you felt guilty, on a deep level for things that on the surface you shouldn't feel guilty. For example, perhaps you have always felt guilty from a religious ideology that you learned as a child and couldn't quite ascertain why except for the fact that was what you were told to believe, yet with some analysis or even just in your gut you feel that it just feels off. 

For many of us, as we reach a new “level” of consciousness and awareness of self, we realize we are in the process of unbecoming and unlearning all that we believed to be true. We realise that our only truth is within. That all we have experienced has been an internal process. That our outside world is merely a reflection of the inner world we are creating, whether intentionally or not.

When you are done with your current state of reality, the only real solution is to turn inward to create the new. This process can be painful and expose hidden parts of self we haven’t healed or transmuted. Through this inward introspection you truly come to learn you really are the creator of the reality you are experiencing.
