Stuckness

April 23rd, 2011

Waking up is the shift from the fiction right now is real, and not a dream, to the fact everything ‘going on’ can only be content in a dream. Consciousness is the dream manifesting as ‘right now,’ and it accurately displays where all the dreamers in the dream are with the fact truth is absolute, somewhere between awake, and one with the fact right now is the dream mind is dreaming, and filling time in the dream defending the impossible fiction it’s possible to prove right now is real and not a dream. This is “The Main Event” in this dream because there is no way a dreamer in this dream can ever prove it is a person, having a life outside the dream because the dream has no outside.

Clients (dreamers in the dream) make appointments because they suffer from defending the fiction it’s possible to prove truth is false. If truth is absolute, then there is no way any dreamer in this dream can prove truth is false. The dream features ‘trying to prove truth is false’ as the centerpiece in this dream. Before you wake up, you wonder why so many people endure lives of suffering and torment, and after you wake up you reconnect with the fact everything is content in the dream, accurately reflecting where all the dreamers are with the fact — it isn’t possible for a dreamer in this dream to prove truth is false, and that this manifests in the dream as suffering. » Read more: Stuckness

Truth According to Wei Wu Wei

January 7th, 2010

In the dim light of dawn, better than fifteen years ago, I sat stunned by what I read in Wei Wu Wei’s book, “Open Secret.” As a Psychologist, my level of upset made it clear what I read was profound. In retrospect, it is clear consciousness is superficially divisible into what the truth is, and what we defend as the truth. Truth seems to reside in the ‘unconscious’ part of consciousness, and kept out of sight and out of mind via amnesia. Truth exists, and amnesia tries to dismiss it because it always threatens to remind us that what we defend as ‘the truth’ resides in the conscious part of consciousness.

Time displays how amnesia works, more or less successfully, to reject truth as false, so we can defend what we want truth to be. Because we can only obscure truth with amnesia, it contradicts everything we defend as the truth. The fiction we defend as “the truth” is false, and what we reject as false is the truth. We live, in other words, at the mercy of truth, always threatening to come out of hiding to remind us that nothing is what we insist it is.

The disparity between the two can be as much as 180 degrees out of phase, which is sufficient to explain what makes us anxious and insecure. Fear provides indirect proof that ‘we know,’ at some pre-conscious level, that what we defend as the truth is a lie. In this sense, insecurity makes perfect sense: truth bleeds through amnesia to remind us that the conclusions that run our life are understandably fragile. Reality, in this light, displays how we live a lie as if it is the truth. The stance we assume in life is always at risk. Our collective amnesia defines the box we occupy. The box we occupy is always under siege because as long as we dismiss truth as false, we are impostors. Reality is the setting in which we impostor who we insist we are to dismiss the truth of who we are. We live a double life, and it can be argued that every problem we endure stems from ‘living a double life,’ as if that’s not true.
