Part 1: Looking At ‘The Shift’

From this point on, everything in this blog includes excerpts from the book I am writing, as a preview of its content. The name of the book is “The Dreamer’s Guide to Reality.” Language as we use it isn’t sufficient to understand the true nature of “reality,” therefore from this point on I will use and explain the shift in language from the standard view of reality to what looms as a much more accurate view of reality. Standard language services the fiction everything is what we insist it is, and the shift in language explains why we defend standard language as accurate. If truth exists, then we can look forward to language that comes out of what the truth is. Standard language defends the lie truth is false, or doesn’t exist. The shift in language is from the lie to the truth. The language we use is diagnostic for where anyone is right now with the truth. ‘The awakened state’ no longer uses standard language because its goal is to defend the fiction truth is false, and it isn’t.

Anyone is eligible to make the shift from the lie to the truth, but where you are with the truth right now, consciously, reflects where you are with the truth. The words we use reveal where we are with what the truth is. Our actions reveal where we are with the truth. Our feelings reveal where we are with the truth. Truth exists, and everyone displays, whether they know it or not, where they are right now with the truth. Once you wake up, or make the shift from the lie to the truth, the content of your presentation changes.

Others will say, “what is going on with you, something has changed.” If they are busy living the lie they will know, without knowing why or how, that you are no longer living the lie. This is viewed with a mixture of fear and envy because everyone knows at some pre-conscious level, what the truth is. They are just as eligible to make the shift, too, but they ‘know’ that’s not in the cards right now. Our eligibility stems from the fact truth is what we are and can only be. Truth is what everyone is, all the time, under all circumstances, and our presentation in life reveals where we are with what that is, somewhere between total acceptance and total rejection, and everything in between.

The Shift

December 30th, 2009

If you read Wei Wu Wei’s books, sooner or later you ask the question, which is stranger, his synthesis of the Buddhist view of reality, or how we fill reality defending the lie truth is false? It is no accident that we are firmly entrenched in our defense of what we insist reality is. Amnesia successfully shields us from the possibility that what we defend as “the truth” is false, and that what amnesia keeps out of mind, successfully, is the truth. What comes into focus is the growing awareness that the defense of what we refer to “the truth” is “The Main Event.” As long as your own amnesia works to obscure what the truth might be, you can’t see that you are part of a vast team devoted to proving truth is false, or doesn’t exist. This is what we do. Time is the venue for TAG, or “The Anti-truth Game.” As truth comes into focus, you identify that TAG is an index of the degree to which someone defends the lie truth is false, from some of the time, to all of the time. The more this becomes transparent, the faster you identify the connection between our ‘mental health’ and where we are with the truth.

If time is the venue for the game of TAG, or the sum and intensity of what we do to pretend we can prove truth is false, then it should follow that those whose presentation indicates they are in sync with truth should display what we refer to as “good mental health.” In fact, low TAG individuals, who don’t fill time ‘at war with truth,’ come across as objective (awake), rational, non delusional and appropriate. Conversely, the high TAG individuals display increasing ‘mental instability,’ the more they fill time defending the fiction it’s possible to prove truth is false.
