A World Within A World, Within A World

A WORLD WITHIN A WORLD WITHIN A WORLD
2/27/07

What and where is reality? We must become one with reality before we can identify it. Does my reality relate at all with anyone else’s? Can what I am thinking and living and feeling also be part of someone else’s reality? Even in the most intimate of relationships few people if any can synthesize the same emotions, thoughts or actions at the same moment.

How often do two people become totally satiated and syncopated entirely to the emotions and desires of each other, either sexually or spiritually? How often does a conversation go over the head of someone we are trying to convey an important subject to? Every teacher is aware that they are not in the same reality as their students. It is their jobs to bring them into that reality with discipline and the honest interest of their students so they may learn. Because someone shares the same common space in time does not mean they share the same reality. How often have we completely ignored the person sitting near or next to us on a bus or plane or train or even in our own homes? Our barriers are both physical and virtual. No one at this moment, while I am writing is sharing this reality with me. Once I publish my thoughts I welcome all to read them and enter my reality for that moment in time, when these words were written. Some will venture in to greet me, while others will not.

I must accept that my thoughts are my own and are arrived at by my own deliberation, study and reflection. Unless all men and women are clones of each other , and live within the same exact reality for their entire lives, they can never think exactly the same way. It is this unique difference that makes human beings the most remarkable of all creation.

Children live within their endless fantasies. To a child all fantasy is reality. If we play the mad hatter with our daughters, who serve us invisible tea and cakes, then we are lovingly reinforcing that reality. If we speak to each other with inventive dialogue, we create a new shared reality, until a new individual focus pulls us apart.

Writers create new realities constantly it is their profession. Political realities are not at all the same as personal realities. As we decide or have decided for us what we will be doing on any specific day we are either creating our day, or having our day created for us. If we do not decide our courses of actions, they will be decided for us. We must always act first, before we are acted upon.

Everyone’s reality is distorted towards their needs and desires. If I want something to happen I must enter the accustomed thought pattern to get it accomplished. I must focus on reinforcing someone else’s reality; rather than my own if I want to accomplish something someone else requires of me.

Reality is what we think it is. Reality is what we believe it is. My reality is different from anyone else just as everyone’s differs from everyone. How different is a blonde individual’s reality from a brunette’s reality? How different is a white man’s reality from a black man’s reality, or white or black women’s reality? There is only one unifying law in human reality and that is the physical law of gravity. To my knowledge no man or women has ever been able to walk on air. They can fly by artificial means, but no one that I have ever witnessed or heard of except Superman has ever been able to fly under their own power. All we do as physical beings is regulated within the boundaries of our physical plain. The human spirit has no such boundaries, except those we place on ourselves.

The most oppressive boundaries placed upon the human spirit are ideologies and dogmas. Religion is the oppressor of the soul. Religion is the prison guard. Religion is the slave master. Religion is the cruelest of all manipulations. In religions fools and felons thrive. Because of religions humanity flounders in bigotry and ignorance. All prophets no longer speak clearly to mankind. Religions have made it impossible to hear the words of the prophets any longer. They have censored and edited and destroyed much of the original teachings.

Religions are notorious for creating false realities and convincing the poor and wealthy followers alike; that the way to heaven and eternal splendor, is only through the financial and ideological support of their church. I do not believe in any institutional religion. I only believe in a Creator, and my own intuition, to understand the proper path to follow in life. If there is a wrong path and I choose to follow it, then I must correct it or suffer the consequences of my choices. This is how the human spirit operates. Conformity has its merits however, individual thought is what creates our unique reality. My thoughts are not necessarily anyone else’s, and I fully accept that as a significant and sacred part of being human. The similarities of my thoughts with others are the common ties that bind me to this world. I intuitively identify other worlds, within my world, as I move closer towards the center of the soul of creation.
