How did a Factual World become infected with Opinions? DAY

Problem
In this post we’re going to explore how a Factual World, which
is this Physical World, has become ‘infected with Opinions’. To understand this
– we have to look at the Mind-Physical
relationship (or shall we rather say ‘Mind-Physical separation’), because
with understanding the separation between the Mind/Consciousness
and the Physical Body: one will be able to understand how it is that we have Opinionated
a Factual World. Essentially the question within all of thus is: “How have we
managed to create a
relationship to the Physical/Factual World of matter that we physically see
and live/exist in – and yet have Opinions, which are created in the
Mind/Consciousness, hold more ‘weight / substance’ in our Minds than physical
matter/facts/reality?”
Obviously here, the heading of this post is specific with
regards to how Opinions have come to “infect” Facts / Reality / this Physical
World – with the emphasis on the word(s) “Infect” / “Infected”. With having a
look at the definition of “infect” in Dictionary.com (and taking the relevant
definitions that exist within the same context we’re looking at) with regards
to how Opinions “infect” Facts, how we have accepted and allowed a Factual /
Physical world to become infected by Opinions / Illusion (why/how Opinions are
but illusions – we’ll also discuss in posts to come):
The definition of Infect as per (Random House Dictionary, ©
Random House, Inc. 2013: s.v. “Infect”) within Dictionary.com:
“to taint or contaminate with something that affects
quality, character, or condition unfavorably: to infect the air with poison
gas.
to corrupt or affect morally: The news of the gold strike
infected him with greed.
to imbue with some pernicious belief, opinion, etc.”
Let us expand on each individual definition of “infect” in
the relationship between Opinion and Facts, the Mind and the Physical – also
within this the relationship between “Consciousness Energy-Matter” and
“Physical Substance-Matter”, bringing into the equation the dimensions of
interdimensional and physical Physics:
If we have a look at the following definition of Infect as
per (Random House Dictionary, © Random House, Inc. 2013: s.v. “Infect”) within
Dictionary.com:
“to taint or
contaminate with something that affects quality, character, or condition unfavorably:
to infect the air with poison gas.”
It is fascinating the example that is used here with regards
to poisonous gas that infect the air – because this is the extent to which
Opinions can ‘poison oneself’ within one’s very Nature/Living of ‘who you are’
and so determine/affect your living/behaviour in relation to something/someone
in the physical/factual word. Opinions, as we have also established in previous
posts, ‘misconstrue / alter / change’ reality/facts in the Mind. How the Mind
operate/function, or rather, how we have been conditioned to operate/function within
the Mind - is to take reality/memories of reality and/or the people within it –
imprint it into our Consciousness and then create relationships to memories in
our Mind that serve our Ego/Self-Interest/Intent. Our Minds have not been
educated / prepared to deal with Reality/Facts/Memories AS-IS. What we do in
our Minds is look at memories one-dimensionally – only from “my point of view /
my opinion / my experience” and miss the rest of reality in the memory
entirely/completely. We do not take “all things into consideration”, but see
only what we want to see and how we want to see it.
Now, within this, what we do in this process is thus in fact
taint / contaminate memories / remembrances of reality in such a way that it affects
the quality, character, or condition of the memory of the event/person unfavourably.
Meaning: It’s like – one can have a look at what one do in the Mind when you
look back at a conversation/interaction you had with someone, and then the
memory in the mind becomes like a ‘centre point’ in your consciousness and you
don’t realise
how, the moment you look at it/think about it/talk about it in your OWN MIND,
you are in the process of infecting the moment/the person/the event with only
having a look at it one-dimensionally. You are in the process of
changing/altering/misconstruing the memory and so in that process, the memory
as the reality of what happened in the conversation/interaction – the
reality-memory’s quality / condition becomes altered/changed/misconstrued and
thus ‘infected’ by our own
Opinions.
Now, within this to also Understand that: I’m here talking
about both ‘favourable and unfavourable’ Opinions – that it is not, in fact,
only the ‘bad/negative Opinions’ that infect Facts/Reality; but also the
‘good/positive/favourable Opinions’. This is because both polarities do the
same thing: it cause one to see memory/reality one-dimensionally, from one
point of view / one dimension – it erases the other 99%; and so in this process: the
unfavourable Opinions that infect Facts and so affect the quality/condition of
reality/memories happens also with the favourable Opinions. The consequence of
this is that: the Factual World/Reality becomes Opinionated, infected with the
good and the bad. Opinions infecting Facts – whether good or bad, cause one to
not see FACTS/Reality AS-IS, but taint it with good and/or bad Opinions,
separating oneself/the Mind from seeing reality/facts/the physical as it
really, in fact, exists.
The question then is: what is the Solution to this all? Do
we need Opinions to see Facts? How can we See Facts/Reality for what they are /
how reality is without infecting it with Opinions – whether good or bad?
We’ll continue more in the next post
