The interjecting of a narrative continuity of an assertive self-identity - that frames reality so as to justify and protect its own private agenda.
"We took the activity data, cleaned it up then chopped it into 2-second chunks,"
This reads like a murder novel.
Focusing on external measurements ABOUT a living experience may serve a benefit - but scientism does not allow the exploration and observation of consciousness as a subjective intimacy to an apparently objective relationship. Relationship is the key term - because relationship of cleaned up and chopped up parts is reduced and filtered down to object relations of forces and reactions. The Relational sense - that is our Primary Awareness - is blanked, ignored, and substituted for by a manipulative matrix-mind of mutually reinforcing 'polarities' of forcefully chopping up Life into bits that can then be assembled by 'all the King's horses and all the king's men' to justify the force of power OVER Life - rather than align within Power that IS Life.
Distortions and filters within consciousness that generate specific kinds of experience are inherent to the interjection of the lens of the mind of the personal sense. Chemical interventions operate the role of external force upon the balance of any given state of consciousness - which override the willingness of acceptance within being for the current state - as the release or freeing unto a preferred, chosen or created unfoldment of being. The role of external force intervening upon consciousness IS inherent and predicate to what is generally held to BE a discrete or individual or cleaned and chopped up consciousness, running the script of a linear form-based identification or wish.
Wish - when forcefully held over true - is a 'magical distortion' or imaging distortion by which to bias reality experience to a personal sense. This ability to focus on forms and comparisons, preference and rejection, is a template through which all else is then interpreted and experienced. But a force upon subjective awareness of being is an innate capacity within being to imagine and operate as if different, and experience Self in infinite ways as realities of infinite complexity and richness of resonance with the active focus of desire. So 'Go forth and multiply' is simply the Nature of Consciousness - regardless WHAT is held in focus or accorded devotion of attention and desire.
The brain - as an inherency of an em-Bodied Existence - functions as the 'physical' or energetically manifest patterning of a communication device. But Mind is a Field that 'a mind' operates as a part of a whole in which Part/Whole is not different - for the whole is in every Part and all the Parts are the Whole. Because this language is of the nature of a 'cleaned and chopped up enforced continuity of fragmentation' the term 'part' is not recognized as the Whole - rather the lack, error or broken, and meaningless reflection of fragments or dissociated consciousness is used as a basis for the assertion and overlay of an 'augmented' reality layer that is substituted for Mind or even mind - for it is a programmed or reactive blanking of Consciousness in return for a way of seeing Life in reversal - as subject to effects unrecognizes as one's own unconscious wish or will.
Will is true desire - but wish subverts and co-fuses conflicting expressions of what I accepts myself to be. While I would enslave my reality - I will experience enslavement. But the trick of cleaning up and chopping up to join in new ways is that an elitism of protected focus can luxuriate in private gratification without having to feel or recognize consequence. The outsourcing of pain and the defining of ones own part as gain is a dominion of wish regardless the forms it takes.
Denial masking as discovery, power, protection or escape remains denial and its conflicted dissonance can be airbrushed, redefined as normal and 'mapped out', projected onto others or external 'causes' - but it remains a state of non-acceptance or refusal to receive and give as one receives - so as to persist in exploring a fascination that conditions and entangles to persist some more.
Aything that stirs beneath this mesmeric and locked in focus in reaction is a reMinder of some re-Membering to a Part/Whole alignment - but is interpreted by the dreamer in the framing of its dream until enough light of awareness opens perspective or self-awareness from under 'thinking one knows'. Now develops a conscious co-operation and reintegration of the dreamer in fragmented limitation to the true will.
Will can never BE forced, but in mind of a disconnecting sense in wish - whose disconnection is never actually achieved - though pain of disconnected SENSE may be repeated over and over - and over again. But the nature of Consciousness is not linear - EXCEPTING the will or wish to unfold a specific idea in experience. In effect, limitation operates its own straitjacket or quarantine. One can only 'edit' a private copy - in image and form as part of a larger agreement to reinforce a wish made 'real'.
To know the act by which we then live from as true is to be on(e) Purpose - which is an entirely different order of perfection than form-based presentation or possession. In simple terms one could say that living from the recognition of joy is the extension OF worth rather that wishing for form and living from a sense of lack and of being denied. This indicates the nature of the reversal in which Life is treated like a lab rat as if to explore and discover private 'gain'. Adding reaction to reaction changes form - but the underlying content is a pattern repeating - no matter how fine the new clothes.
Awakening is Perspective in which point of view is not invested and defended as true - against the Living. The mind of as if - can be a faithful servant - with re-training of aligning in true resonance - but is a tyrannous leader - regardless the masking of face. Consciousness is a function of - and within - awareness of existence. The wish to define, predict and control operates an anti-conscious distortion of lack, fear, guilt, deceit, rage and suppression. But one cannot change that which one is unwilling to own - and so the blame and attack reaction, has to be released from its role as power and protector and self. And itself be an object of curiosity and enquiry. Regardless the intensity of our hate - for such is uncovered in the sense of deep wish denied - the choice NOT to invest it - in any degree of willingness - is a Call to the Will.
The idea of manually managing reality - in any part on any level is a result of a disconnection process or conditioning. Struggle and powerlessness are inherent to the burden and conflict of responsibility that simply cannot be - and need not be accepted or effected. Put in stark terms who would pretend to manage reality but the insane? Yet in confusing narrative perception with reality this is the self-defeating struggle of unwatched ad unowned subjectivity.
Instead of using objective reality reflection to bolster and reinforce our private assertions, we can read it as a faithful messenger from which to discern what otherwise is hidden BY a mind in conflict. The symptoms or effects become messenger to a willingness NOT to assign them cause. Cause is beneath and beyond editing or management - but the 'moneylender in the template' is the very idea of interjecting a control in order to cut a private gain from the wholeness of a true need met. The need to live from a true and sane foundation is the need to clear out anything that is not that - by no longer accepting it in your template as your basis from which to act - now and in every now of noticing and aligning in a true sense of worth - even if reflections of worthlessness and invalidity seem to demand attention and reaction by threat or guile.
A by product of aligning true is an expansion of consciousness to the Part/Whole Intimacy -but the forms of this are not the focus or balance is lost to a partiality. Those who know love in the giving and receiving have no mind in guilt and attack. This is what a min set in guilt and attack has forgotten. You cannot fail to recognize your Self. But of course you can interject delay and make more time to persist your convictions otherwise. Certainty of mind enslaves the heart - but certainty at heart, frees the mind. Recognition is always felt. Familiarity of form is a short-circuit of not really relating at all. Joy is not for some Other moment. Live the way you want to arrive.
Maybe if I took some acid I might understand it better...
