Today's lesson du jour is about
parallel "realities",
within dualistic density.
To begin to address this, we first ask:
"What is 'real'?"
There is both an individual answer,
that whatever we as an individual
beleive "is real" is real for us.
There is a summation of all those individual realities into the collective "reality".
Nothing "unreal" exists.
Because the "reality" we
"beleive in" is manifest for us,
our "reality" is always "real" for us.
Corrolary: we only have "control" over what is "real" for us,
and our vote in the collective reality of what is shared "as real".
Where we begin to experience cognitive or emotional
dissonance,
is wherein our individual "reality" disagrees with the collective "reality".
It is therefore essential to learn
neutrality_for_differences.
When we attain neutrality and balance,
we are able to transcend above 4D- duality,
and enter the realms of ascended reality.
Today i met an individual who had concluded:
As an alternative to the distopian "reality" of the world,
(as he was experiencing as a consequence of his beliefs there-about),
he had retreated from the world into a self-created (self described)
"utopian" Sci-Fi reality. The difference?
In his world good triumphed over evil,
but there were still necessary contrasts between good and evil.
Despite my attempts to convey the concept of non-dual reality,
he was solidly anchored in 4D- duality and conflict,
but, at least in his fantasies, the world was not quite so hopeless.
However, being as this was entirely his ego-construct,
he was solidly in control of the fantasy, and,
to share "reality" with him,
one had to buy into his version of sci-fi existence.
Apparently it was slightly better than Star Trek or Star Wars.
He wasn't even open to the possiblity of ejecting all the "evil" ones,
(determined to dominate the galaxy),
out an air-lock into space to be rid of them.
Ultimately, then, all he succeeded in creating is a slight
improvement in hopefullness, that in a reality controlled by his
ego, versus the existing egoes controlling "reality",
he got to define the collective everyone shares,
and it wasn't completely corrupted by "money and greed".
i would suggest dreaming bigger, fantasizing further, more hope,
however... to the extent his entire basis is anchored into
the western scientific model of there being a "single objective reality",
then we're all completely "screwed" in his "reality".
I'm so grateful that his model does not control the reality of the rest of us!
Regardless of labelling it as a "utopian" alternative,
it ultimately is as distopian as the "reality" he has rejected.
That one can only participate in his reality according to a limited script,
(granted, varying a bit at times), of "role play",
still leaves only openings within his ego-created reality,
with no actual room for ones own soul to express spontaneous creativity,
as everything in his "world" has to be played according to pre-arranged role-play scripts.
i wish him well using this vehicle to "work-out" his limiting
beliefs.
And therein is the answer to his question:
"Why do people come here and appreciate the "build" (space-ship),
and marvel at its beauty, but not return?"
