Physical Reality
In order to know itself, the Original Reality distinguishes within itself the knowing and the knowable aspects, described as the “two Faces” of the Absolute — the Transcendent and the Immanent. At the same time, both the knowing aspect of Consciousness and the knowable aspect of Being are infinitely differentiated into a multiplicity of monads and energies.
Depending on the degree of synthesis and integration of the level of mind that relates these elements to one another, one can consider the world both as the Universal Whole and as a differentiated multiplicity at any level. Equally one can regard the world as an independently existing, “objective” reality, and as the illusory product of the mind.
For the Magus it is crucial not to fall into extremes, but to hold all extremes and all intermediate stages of their mutual interrelation within their perception. Therefore the Magical myth speaks both of a world whose existence is inseparable yet distinct, and of its illusory nature and simultaneous objectivity.
Describing the world as a product of the mind, a “picture” of perception, Magic does not lapse into subjective idealism; likewise, acknowledging the importance of reliance on matter, Magic does not become materialistic.
For the Magus the world is a picture, but that picture is real to the extent that they themselves are real. Relying on the body, the Magus’ mind also depends on the environment that forms that body and on the laws of that environment. In other words, although the world is “merely” a product of our mind, that mind depends in its manifestation on the world.
The world in which the manifested, embodied existence of a given mind occurs depends primarily on the level of that mind and on the tasks that the Way and the logic of its past development set before it. It is precisely this level that determines with which other forms and levels of consciousness it can interact, and it is precisely these possibilities of interaction that determine the common picture adopted by all interacting parties — the world. For example, being born at the human level, a mind can interact with the neighboring animal, plant, and mineral levels, and their aggregate description gives rise to the picture we call the “physical world.” Each of the forms of mind forming this world differs in aspects characteristic of it, yet also possesses an extensive field that allows it to be perceived, and therefore – to enter into interaction with other forms.
Describing physical laws and physical phenomena, science, in essence, describes the laws of perception characteristic of a given level of mind — the necessary conditions for its manifestation and actualization. For example, the possibility of interacting with the mineral level is described by physical laws, while the principles for constructing a suitable basis for the manifestation of the plant, animal, or human levels are the laws of biology and chemistry. Molecules, atoms, elementary particles, quarks — these are images that the human level of mind attributes to its manifested existence. Physical reality is objective to the degree that human existence itself is objective, and definitive to the degree that a person’s embodiment is definitive. The laws of the physical world, following from one another, implying one another, relying on one another, act upon a being regardless of how aware it is of each of these laws, but to the extent that a being relies on the reality upheld by those laws. It is precisely the mutual conditioning of these regularities that makes the picture of the world whole, closed, and internally structured.
Nevertheless, Magic insists that this picture is neither final nor the only possible one; and this does not simply mean the banal “multidimensionality of the world” or “parallel realities” — it signifies the fundamental inexhaustibility of the Immanent Face just as the Transcendent Face is inexhaustible. The Great Mother is as infinite as the Great Father, and the possibilities of manifested existence are as boundless as the unity of the Spirit. A different question is what the Magus strives for: infinite existence within an infinite diversity of worlds, or the universal unity of the Spirit, or the non-fused unity of the pleroma. Magic allows one to follow any of these Ways, to strive for any of these goals, placing freedom as the highest ideal.
Hello! It would be interesting to know, how do you feel about virtual reality? Right now, technology is developing quite quickly, and perhaps in 10-15 years we will see a full-fledged simulacrum of reality, bright, fairytale-like, as we desire. Will there be a difference between the experience received within the virtual and objective reality (after all, the difference for consciousness is only in trust)? There is a decent video on this topic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIhcdi3leqE
We already spend a third of our lives in the virtual reality of dreams: https://enmerkar.com/en/way/the-dream-space And if the amount of that time increases, it will simply lead to further disorder in realization. After all, ‘daytime’ reality differs from ‘virtual’ only in that it realizes deep interconnected flows of desires, while in dreams – their separate ‘side’ branches. Strictly speaking, we call ‘reality’ that state of consciousness that is in the general causal flow of its realizations; there is no fundamental difference between reality and dreams.
But can it be said that in the reality of dreams, it is indeed the person in their usual ‘daytime’ understanding that resides? Rather, it is a lump of unrealized desires, instincts, and whims, often mutually exclusive to one another, which almost entirely excludes the possibility of some conscious decision or gaining experience (though some claim they achieve control there). And what if such a ‘daytime’ consciousness accesses something similar? In Hinduism, for example, there is a concept of yuga (human eras), the first Satyayuga is described as a golden age, an age of meditation and self-knowledge of one’s nature, liberation from hard labor and social inequality. Perhaps it is a stretched thought, but indeed if there is no hard labor, social inequality (relatively speaking) too, then by what paths can a person come to self-knowledge? It seems to me only in this way 🙂
This very ‘daytime understanding of man’ is just the same ‘lump,’ a flow of constantly changing subpersonalities, emotions, reactions, thoughts, inclinations. https://enmerkar.com/en/way/mind-and-the-illusion-of-personality And unites them into a single flow precisely the central axis of realization, its common idea. And in virtual reality, there is no such stable idea, and therefore the flows are more chaotic. This is called ‘the absence of energy generation’ in a dream. Awareness of dreams is not a link in the overall chain; they do not weave into the general flow and do not create stable cause-effect sequences.
But the very opportunity to be a Creator, the Great Architect with a perfect tool, to realize in such a plastic space one’s thought forms. Perhaps this space will not be ‘alive’ (although in the case of virtual reality, I think it is more ‘real’ because its creators do not leave the flow of the ‘real’ world; they are clearly aware that this tree is in their world, expressed in the form of code somewhere on a server), but the mere possibility of obtaining such clay for creativity leads to the shedding of the shackles of consciousness; one can see and overcome one’s limitations, and is there any difference in ‘realities’ for truly free consciousness?
I completely agree with you on this one. Regarding the difference between virtual reality and physical, I answered below.
Maybe this isn’t the topic, but there is a time of year like this, and it’s now. We have a short daylight, it’s practically dark all the time, dream time. As if the boundary becomes thinner and just a little push is needed, and all this reality is perceived as a dream, only more global and collective. So, I almost physically feel how the fabric of sleep seeps into wakefulness. If there is some question, the solution often comes in sleep; it can be pulled out and applied. Or on the contrary, live through something in a dream and become a different person with different experiences. How can this be explained in light of cause-effect sequences?
Greetings.
The aesthetics of the provided video series fully correspond to the meaning of the ‘future.’ *smile*
In my opinion, everything is trivial and simple. A person is given a physical body as a tool to comprehend the surrounding reality and to realize oneself. That is, the basic meaning of physical reality is that each of us has a physical body in which they dwell, which is the primary focal point of human power and the point of interaction with each other.
The esteemed forecasters from the video tell us that the body will serve only as a point to enter virtual systems.
The question arises: why even have a physical body if you live not in it but in a virtual character, for example? By the way, who creates this character?
Nevertheless, this is not a future. It is the most present, only shown in a more extreme form. Computer virtual realities have existed for several decades. And many computer enthusiasts have long been living in a mode very similar to what is shown in the video. Most likely, their dream is being realized by those forecasters.
Everything would be fine, but you know what is frustrating? In many ancient sources, it is said that once people could move between worlds themselves. And now, at the peak of civilization’s development, we need a cable to the forehead.
Is this the colorful world in which one would want to be? Is this progress?
The opportunity to choose a world for oneself. The opportunity to create a world for oneself. Even now, through a small box with a monitor, one can touch almost all the works of art and science of an entire civilization. And no one forces you; just choose. Any Seeker does not need to invent bicycles every time and stumble upon the rakes of predecessors; everything is available – just wish. Is it a sin to complain? 🙂
Eiol, you have already chosen your world when you incarnated on this planet. And until you possess THIS physical body, you are firmly attached to it. You can choose worlds only if you can consciously leave this body and return to it at will, or not return at all.
Computer virtual reality is just a model of this process. I agree that at this stage, our civilization has not reached the level of development needed to materialize objects without using the base material of this physical reality, but we have learned to copy objects into virtual reality. Sounds good; you can indeed build virtual worlds, 3DsMax in hand, and off you go. And it is also engaging and exciting, like any creativity. I would even be curious to see what you come up with, if only because I grew up in virtual worlds.
However, don’t forget to keep kids and pets away from the tech; it would be extremely frustrating if your colorful world collapses because someone accidentally pulls the network cable out of the socket at the wrong moment.
It’s just a thought. I have almost never met a person who has learned to live in the world as it is)
“Is this the colorful world in which one would want to be? Is this progress?” – a person’s life is meaningless. But if you have no goal, you will work for someone who does. Those beings who developed and have been implementing the scenario presented in the video for half a century have a goal 😉
Hello. And what experience will the virtual world with artificial energies give you?
The thing is, the development of the world consists not only in acquiring experience but also in generating, developing, and searching for new energies.
Here I think the comparison with an artist is fitting; they can convey through paint and canvas what has been revealed to them to others. Writers also invest in books their worldview, sharing the feeling of that flow of energies in which they are located; this blog, in fact, is a good illustration of how experience can spread without ‘live’ contact.
By analogy to an artist, I can imagine virtual reality as a means of transmitting knowledge/feelings/experience into physical reality. But no more.
Eiol, in virtual reality, as in the internet and books, one can only see the experience of other consciousnesses and sometimes, in certain cases, incorporate it into their own experience. But when someone thinks they can realize their desires there – usually, it’s a whim arising from the unwillingness or laziness to realize their true desires. This is already happening in video games, soap operas, such novels, porn sites, aimless communication on social networks, and so on. Virtual reality, in this sense, will only make it easier for predators to do their jobs; it only needs to replace real energy with its semblance, which can be done easily with an undeveloped consciousness.
Nomen, when encountering the virtual world, consciousness generates energies just as well, including new ones for solving set tasks.
Our “real world” is just as “artificial,” while in virtual ones, it is not an energy vacuum. There are energies of its creators. In a certain sense, immersion in the virtual world can be considered a quest for finding power. But is their power needed?
In real reality, I at least somehow change in the direction of increasing Power. And in these virtual ones – I sat down at the computer as I was, and just as I got up after N hours. I entertained myself, lost energy and time. Once, I lost interest in this. Forever. Reality is more interesting. Physics at its peak, graphics at the limit of possibilities, an infinite number of degrees of freedom. And most importantly – no restrictions other than those imposed by your mind. Why do you need a simulator from electronics manufacturers? Use the simulator from God. And the impressions here are more serious, such as when a shell explodes next to your house, and the next one could fly in your window, and there’s nowhere to hide. It becomes very noticeable who you are inside.
GATO, perhaps you just haven’t come across the “right” virtual realities. Some of them were a source of Power for me at certain intervals of my path. Not that power which remains forever in the virtual world, but what will then transition into our reality. Maria has an interesting comment regarding who learns where. My observations show that in our physical reality, the level of entropy is too high. And the intensity of learning is usually hindered. Not because the “reality is wrong” or “difficult,” but because there are too many disturbances, and it’s hard to create a suitable environment for learning; it’s hard to close off energy altogether, hard to find the ends if you have no skills in finding them. As for teachers… well, I haven’t met a single one in real life who is fully worthy. But in virtual realities, teachers were found. I’m not even talking about how souls in virtuality were often more than in physical reality. At the same time, for example, some role-playing computer games operated with the concepts of “quest,” “experience,” “level,” and there were also principles of “hunting for power.” When I started reading this blog, I had a strong impression that many computer game creators drew inspiration from one of the schools of magic; most likely, it was like that at one time.
What I do agree with you on is that 95% of modern virtual realities are aimed precisely at scattering powers. And therefore utterly unsuitable. The simulator from God is, of course, good. But here’s the thing… a couple of years ago, this blog had requests for organizing groups for training (besides the author’s summer seminars), I observed some people trying to organize something similar, I confess, I also tried in my circles. And… all these attempts failed. At the same time, 50% of my acquaintances continue to “level up” in computer games. Hence arises the broadest question: WHY? (And it’s not so easy to answer as it seems at first glance.)
Many people have no intention of becoming free… The illusion in front of the monitor is enough. The predators of our civilization find it convenient to have virtual pens for the “sheep.” I don’t believe that even a single game has developed at least one magical skill. It’s just this electronic drug.
Eiol—a sensible person—takes what is given (all opportunities) and does not snort. The rest also take what is given but snort with it. Porn sites, after all, the simulators are not the same, there is no energy. However, we all sit on the internet (in the computer). Some more often, some less, but all.
The programmer who wrote the code of the ‘simulator from God’ embedded in humans two instincts – to preserve life and continue the species. All human actions are motivated by these two instincts. In short, one must survive somehow (ideally to become Great) and satisfy sexual desire.
It is very difficult to achieve this in the “simulator from God.” It’s much easier to talk about doing. But we were GIVEN wonderful opportunities. Why strain? – Please, my friend, realize all your instinctive impulses. Become a Great Warrior or Magician, create a family, build a house in The Sims, release tension on porn sites. Take everything you want, enjoy. And if you’re so smart and want to develop (to become great), here are piles of information. Absorb. The internet has everything. Just choose.
Today, this is the reality of human life, not some virtuality but the very real reality.
What do we live by, esteemed GATO? – We live by states – sensations, thought forms, emotions, desires. This simulator gives the same as that one.
But in this, as in that, there’s one inconvenient element – the Physical body. With it, there are always problems. You have to feed it and clothe it, and satisfy it. How nice it would be without it – A pure consciousness – Creator of infinite diversity!
The creator didn’t particularly strain in this sense – “In thorns and thistles shall you eat food and in pain shall you give birth to children” – he laid out in the code….. But now, the creator of the updated simulator offers to defecate in a tube and eat through a drip; walking isn’t even necessary. This new creator is kind and compassionate. He cares so that we don’t tire ourselves unnecessarily. Or has a person invented such a life for themselves? – Haven’t you thought? – in the infinite universe, there are infinitely many scenarios for event development, an infinity of scenarios, yet humans for some reason? chose this one. Is it progress, Theo?
They painted a colorful world for us, understandable to our consciousness and our body. Connected us, and voilà – the system functions.
We truly understand only what we can paint or feel.
You are right that it is completely pointless to talk about what is not a living reality for you, it is useless to build speculative concepts and beautiful theories. Words are not needed to give birth to new categories but to describe experienced experience. It is perception and its awareness that are the measure of the value of ideas. Buddha became enlightened not because he long and painstakingly studied Buddhism, but because he experienced his experience and named it – enlightenment. The experience of the pleroma is that of a liquid heated to boiling that still remains liquid – the experience of molecules that are bonded to each other but can freely drift away anywhere, and their common wave can still sweep, flow, fill. The experience of Pleroma is the experience of stars that are farther from each other than light could travel in all the time of their existence, yet they feel the gravity of each other and revolve around a common center. The experience of Pleroma is the experience of unity in freedom. The experience of Universal Spirit – in the absence of any experience, it is singularity before the Universe came from it, and it is complete stillness and complete absence of movement, in absolute undivided unity; it is what lies beyond forms, formlessness, and the absence of both forms and formlessness. It is the experience of infinite free flight from nowhere to nowhere. Can you imagine such a jump – lasting an eternity, outside time and space? – that will be the experience of the Spirit. Our words are relative; they only bring us closer to the description of experience, they only permit us to hint to another about what we have seen or experienced, and, in the grand scheme of things, describing and conveying to another the experience of contemplating a blooming tree is no easier than of conveying one’s experience of the Spirit 🙂
A beautiful description, but reading and feeling are quite distant things, and the most complete description, the most precise map can be reinterpreted, lied about, etc. (it seems even in Goetia, wizards singled out such a demon that transforms true experience into profanation). With sensations, it’s more complex; you either experienced them or didn’t. Probably all magical traditions have an initiation ritual where the elders allow neophytes to touch something that exceeds their boundaries, breaking templates, to give them a feeling. And this is where virtuality/dream space (if it were to become controllable) could solve this task. After all, the same idea of Pleroma can be expressed in word, music, and drawing, and all of this will have some power, influencing the conscious – but it seems to me it’s all a matter of completeness. And such a sensory experience, even if empty (in terms of real touching energies), I think will become the Book of Books, just imagine a Magician writing a Grimoire not in words but in images and experiences (the world is developing – magicians are progressing) 🙂 And this would certainly not be superfluous; a boy who has read a dozen books by experienced rangers has a better chance of surviving in the woods than a boy who has not read them.
The problem is that truths from higher worlds inevitably distort and are lost when entering lower ones. And the decisive factor in what consciousness will perceive will not be the means of transfer, but the degree of readiness of both the giver and the receiving consciousnesses. Only those who are ready for a leap become neophytes, and then the Master can ensure this leap even without unnecessary words and actions.
The deciding factor will always be how correctly the path and teacher are chosen and how ready the student is to work step by step, constantly.
There is a physical reality without teachers and masters. I, for example, have such a reality. When any passerby is both a teacher and a student. A person in general.
“In the infinite universe, there are infinitely many scenarios for event development, an infinity of scenarios, yet why have humans chosen this one?”
You know, Navigator, I’m frustrated myself… But! firstly: they haven’t chosen yet. Secondly, even the virtual direction of progress has many options for development.
As for who “wrote the code of man,” even in the Bible, it is said that the Creator created man “in his image and likeness.” If he is the creator, then we are creators too. Hence the conclusion, if we merely survive and reproduce… well, probably, our program code has glitched. 🙂
I recommend reading V. Pelevin’s “Love for Three Zuckerbrins.” He is certainly a troublemaker in literature, but it makes you think.
Dear Theo, if you noticed, I was talking about the development of the world and not of any particular consciousness.
The virtual world, from my point of view, contains ideas and images of desires and emotions, but not energies. In dealing with such a world, I feel nothing but fatigue from the loss of my own energy.
What constitutes development and the increase of experience for both a magician and everything related to energy? Let me give an example: I am in a link with my students from my magical school – we strengthen each other, the weak gain experience and development through energy links. Being in the flow, I occasionally receive new types of energy; this also develops me and makes me stronger. I feel the world better, and the world feels me.
I created the world myself. It’s not hard to create it. It’s difficult to develop it correctly so that it exists. So that one thing is balanced with another for the proper generation and development of energies.
Believe me, no comparison with “development and acquisition” of energies from the virtual world is possible. Only touching.
Respectfully, Nomen.
“If you noticed, I was talking about the development of the world, not of any specific consciousness.”
With the development of the world, there really is a struggle. Just like in literature, also in theater, and in certain genres of music.
All of these are casts, the casts of the consciousness of their creators at the moment of creation.
The living physical world, of course, is richer and fuller by idea.
I was going to express my thoughts yesterday as well, but then I caught myself by the heel) because I had neither an opinion nor a question yet. It’s a very interesting topic, and I cannot speak about reality simulators because my consciousness cannot even play Tetris. I seriously cannot, because I don’t understand why. I initially noticed that I cannot play any game with an undefined prize, and then I analyzed it. At the same time, it’s strange that recently I have been working on websites, and in terms of magic – I know a bit about dreams. This concerns me and many I have seen; at a certain moment, I hear words: I realized that everything is also a dream. As for people who have touched upon virtuality, I have met them as well. And so far, everything I have seen has had one common trait – a shirking of responsibility. They didn’t feel their actions as real and didn’t think about consequences and other people at all. For them, others were just pixels. This, by the way, resembles an elvish worldview when examined.
Various beings were involved in the creation of computer virtual worlds to date. There, their own battles boiled and continue to boil, for ideas as well as for the future of our physical world. Not in the form that is on screen, but more subtly. Elves were no exception. However, I would note that the virtual worlds that I identified as elvish were filled precisely with awareness, responsibility, and compassion, including for humans.
I have an idea of what compassion might look like from someone who has not suffered) or love from those who have not been loved. Although, of course, with elvish consciousness, it is worth finding one’s own way of even communication. But I would be wary of such compassion)
In addition, I am not very familiar with worlds other than those associated with runes. It is clear that this is some layer of some reality, but I am cautious about experiments. I consider it important that everything I learned and saw could then be understood with a daytime consciousness, and I know from experience that any contact changes, as the blog author wrote in one of the articles, the ‘composition of the mage’. Regarding worlds created by elvish logic and any other, it is quite easily resolved from the rune worlds. And what would people do with such consciousness if they were given power? What would the world be like?
It was enough for the blog author to once mention the ‘coldness’ of the elvish heart for this idea to stick. And yet there were other comments. Do you know that guy… known as Jesus Christ? According to one version, he was a light elf. If you want to know what elvish consciousness represents, read, for example, this girl’s blog. http://lornaloon.livejournal.com/29701.html At that time she was about 17. And if you suddenly think that she did not suffer, please kindly write to me via email why you think so. titeo@bk.ru
For Theo. 1. Gaining Power is often self-deception. I, too, have been deceived many times. Computer games provide energy, but not Power. Your judgments are understandable to me, as I used to see in virtual worlds what is not there. I hope Enmerkar will write another article about Power, as those that exist obviously did not suffice for some to understand. POWER is a very suitable word because it is the power of consciousness. Consciousness gathers flows of energy into a picture of the world. The world is a testing ground for the development of consciousness. Without a doubt, virtual worlds are a great invention. I was amazed at the simplicity with which consciousness connects to the game and operates there no worse than in reality. But there is a fundamental difference – if you like it there, it means there is some catch somewhere. Where are the nasty things of our real life that make us stronger? On these testing grounds, there are no bumps to trip over and fall face-first into our own shit, which teaches us to look down and shows our ‘products of life activity’. There are also none of those events that happen in our lives and give us deserved Power without suffering; that simply does not exist in any computer program and cannot exist in principle. To those who want to argue that this is how it is now, but later technologies will develop and it will become cool beyond measure, it should be considered that such unbelievable simulators observing your consciousness from the formless world in its true form, creating a field of possibilities for self-correction on the fly, cannot be created in the world of forms. So, little ones, let’s play until we’re tired of playing. That’s how it should be. Who among us as children was not happy with toy cars/dolls, etc.? 2. The level of entropy depends on consciousness. If it’s too high around you, then that’s yours and does not relate to the whole world. 3. Worthy teachers usually avoid those who believe they need a worthy teacher but are happy to have a student who wants to learn without claims to worthiness. 4. The answer to the ‘broadest question: WHY?’. Do you really think you were thrown into reality like kittens? You are always lacking something. Try to discern that everything you need is already with you, lying right under your nose. There’s no need to concoct your own scripts when the role of the screenwriter has not yet been entrusted to you. For Navigator121311. To realize your instincts with the help of porn sites? Is that what – to jerk off? ‘Become a Great Warrior or Mage in the game’. I’ll continue in the same vein – build yourself a house in the sandbox. ‘What are we living on, dear GATO? – We live on states – sensations, thought forms, emotions, desires’. In this list of four names, I did not notice the conscious_aspiration_for_perfection, not arising from the listed.
“On these testing grounds, there are no bumps to trip over and fall face-first into our own shit, which teaches us to look down and shows our ‘products of life activity’. Also, there are none of those events that happen in our lives and give us deserved Power without suffering; that simply does not exist in any computer program and cannot exist in principle” – Dear GATO, you have really gone too far here 🙂 Let’s take a simple example: ~95% of our today’s (real) limitations lie in the area of the mind, control, emotional barriers. Just, well, there is no need for modern bipeds to run away from predators, climb trees well, and feel comfortable catching fleas by touch. Thankfully, that doesn’t exist (well, almost) 🙂 And you earnestly assert that there are NO ‘real’ barriers for you in virtuality, well, virtual experience does not develop you (it is quite strange to read such online, okay) :). Here it should be reflected: let’s imagine in theory what kind of ‘real bumps’ you would like to find while opening, say, chess on the internet? Learning to do a bar exercise? Maybe gain experience dealing with thugs in a dark park? Or become a good dentist, why not? After all, chess is one of the first ‘computerized’ games and logic, tactics, strategy, endurance – there are no barriers, bumps are too small, fine 🙂 What’s next? – does not show our ‘products of life activity’ – People? Most likely they are, in the forest and the lowest person – a saint. Any modern MMO gives you both social experience and human evaluation (if that matters to you), and looking at others and showing yourself. Suppose you are not interested in this – the society has rotted, pearls before swine, I am focused on myself, have no experience, fine 🙂 What do we have left in our such living, real world? A breeze in the mountains at dawn? – Organizable! A smile from a stranger girl in the evening subway? – Easy! Evening coffee on the windowsill with a view of the sunset? – Elementary! Reality has long been replaced with a ‘pasteurized’ version of itself, dear GATO, it is precisely these substitutes that have made us today what we are, simply seeing this and accepting it also takes certain efforts, and you yourself, I am sure, have spent more than one evening worrying over your loved but so virtual heroes, from books, movies, songs… Do you condemn yourself? Do you regret? And is it worth, if a means of expression and transmission appeared many times better and more accessible to wring your hands, raise your eyes to the sky, and scream: The Soul! There is no Soul! What a deal with birch bark!
A breeze in the mountains at dawn. You say it is organizable? I think we still do not fully realize the life-giving nourishing power of our world, nature. Turn on one hundred and forty light bulbs, and the sunlight cannot be replaced by that. Whoever knows the taste difference between a peach picked from a tree and one from a supermarket will understand me. And take a baby born in a city and in a village in your arms, squeeze them, feel and smell them, you will be amazed by the difference in sensations. So first, people were trained to eat lifeless food, live in boxes, in spaces limited by advertising surfaces, torn from natural rhythms. Now it is also presumed to feed our soul with lifeless reality. This video about the future is some sort of Oblomovshchina. There is neither power nor life in it. Here the world, the person, and all society are represented so miserable – a complete dismemberment. They tore the person from his natural habitat – ugh, as if I had been to the zoo. They separated each other, disposed of the entire range of human relations. And the person is no longer a complex multi-level system, but separately the body, separately the mind, ears, tails, the soul. There is no will at all. And first of all, man had his right hemisphere cut off. No, I don’t want such a future.
Nobody forces you to live this way, and it is unlikely that everything will be exactly like that. But in the picture of the world in that same village, the same hues exist for centuries, with delicious peaches and healthy children on homemade milk, but aren’t you afraid of stiffening in such an environment, losing your chances in exchange for comfort? And why were you born in this time? Maybe such a rejection of its conditions is also a limitation?
Eiol, it’s not about the village and birch bark. I was talking about living reality, about nature. I was talking about the breeze in the mountains at dawn. About connections, about wholeness, about unity. Of consciousness with the body, the body with the natural environment. The conditions of virtual reality are not the conditions of the time we were born in. They are conditions imposed by someone or something, perhaps some part of society. Why? Maybe to lead a person even further away from themselves? Here lies the challenge of our time. You wrote in your first comment: ‘for consciousness, the difference is only in trust’. In my opinion, for consciousness, the difference lies in authenticity. Consciousness must distinguish illusion from reality. Otherwise, it is no longer consciousness, but a somnambulist. As for the colors, it touched me. In urban life, one object has always amazed me with the variety and transformation of colors. That’s the sky. So, in the non-city, there is always more of this.
In general, you can stick a favorite value analysis to all of this, and man is always a system of his beliefs. He simply cannot act from other beliefs he does not have. And any actions and phrases – in general, are very predictable. If you first look, who is in front of you. No special magic is needed – basic values are visible in any piece of text, in 300 signs. And just from the first glance at a real meeting. Furthermore, value systems can be superimposed with a sufficiently high degree of accuracy onto myths. For example, on the only one I know completely (only complete knowledge allows for such perception). Discussions about virtual reality and, conversely, about milk and peaches are perfectly obvious topics of Alvheim and Midgard. From the perspective of this myth – the only consciousness that can create an entire virtual reality where there are opportunities for everyone is the consciousness of the Aesir. But from this perspective, discussing virtual reality is rather strange. It exists, and we are in it.
Demand creates supply. Demand for affordable surrogates for the realization of instincts………. I do not understand what conscious striving for perfection is, but I understand what a feeling of dissatisfaction is, arising from immersion in models limited by programming code or other people’s rules, both in the computer and in everyday life. That’s why I am looking for alternative interactions. I seek because I know they can be found 🙂
Why are elves not our friends? You should ask them yourselves. Ask the people who destroyed other beings in our World once. People chose technologies and preferred them to natural selection. With this, we broke the balance. And now we are breaking our heads about how to survive and how to find an approach to those who live and trade there. How to restore trust and find common ground.
In general, I consider it important to know how to behave with any being, and I agree that war is not a whole world, and any confrontation without an outlet and extracting experience ultimately speaks of the inadequacy of the microcosm – it is this energy that will find consciousness in thousands of manifestations from a thousand angles. Regarding the question of whether friends or not, I am talking in general about simple experience – to give a being an entire world. What will it do with it? And I don’t need a planetary scale for this, because to me – that can confuse. Just a concrete consciousness with traces of elvishness has the opportunity to do anything with me. Love and simply trust provide such an opportunity. Is there even such a consciousness that will not rub its paws in anticipation of creating a copy of itself, and whose consciousness is it? Just like with energy, meeting elvish consciousness, to me, is very useful, as it allows clearly to highlight and learn to hold in the center, precisely its own qualities.
What will that girl you mentioned do if she has unlimited power? With programmed phrases about the fear of love, about emptiness and the priority of creativity over life? It is obvious that there is a consciousness that makes others free, but you all turn it in such an astonishing way, as if I am looking for answers either in the blog or with you. But I’m not looking for answers from anyone) I already know the answer to this question. Myself)
Physical reality is not universal. On one side, it is probabilistic – for from three identical phones dropped from a height of 1.5 meters, one completely refuses to work, the second remains with a broken screen, and the third remains unharmed. We call this probabilities, yet for one phone, the physical reality turned out to be maximally harsh, for another moderately harsh, and for the third soft and accepting. On the other hand, physical reality is unique for each and depends on the goals of manifestation and the level of development. Some see mountains annually, while others have never encountered them in their life. They have different physical realities. The maximally harsh environment for the phone that stopped working was the test it had to go through, while the softest preserved the last phone for other, more important tests for it. Having realized the goal of this embodiment, and in life setting a new one, one can acquire a new world around with new characteristics of physical reality. Transformation of the world is also possible in the process of transforming one’s own form. Since the body and brain can develop, the world often becomes softer and more pliable as they strengthen. Gaining Power also makes the world more plastic, especially in terms of probabilities. Physical reality depends on the assembly point. The rigidity of the world from the perspective of a mobile phone screen and the rigidity of the world from the perspective of a knife’s edge are completely different rigidities. Transitioning to an alternative point of assembly, a mage transforms his perception of the world, and the world transforms along with him. The transformation of an individual world is based not only on the point of assembly but also on material support points, universal for all physical realities and maintaining the same shape in each.
“Fate belongs to those who are living. We can destroy the ‘fate’ that somebody else made up.”
