How did a Factual World become infected with Opinions? (Part 3): DAY 447

Problem (continued)

Before we continue with the previous definition for “infected”, where we have established how we corrupt / affect the integrity as the wholeness/completeness of facts through Opinions; and in this process – diminish reality, the factual, physical world through opinions: we’re in this post going to walk-through the last definition of “infected” at the relationship between Opinions and Facts. From here, we will bring-through all three (3) definitions, have a look at practical examples to gain a holistic perspective of what we in fact do within and as this accepted and allowed behaviour of ‘infecting facts with opinions’.

The last definition of Infect as per (Random House Dictionary, © Random House, Inc. 2013: s.v. “Infect”) within Dictionary.com that we’re going to have a look at is:

“to imbue with some pernicious belief, opinion, etc.”

Here we have the definition of ‘infect’ as-is in relation to Opinions, and with having a look at the context we’re walking within the Mind when it comes to memories: this is what we do to our memories – we infuse our own memories with Opinions, where both the ‘good and bad’ Opinions have an outflow-consequence/nature of being pernicious/evil. Because, if we return to how we have looked at the word evil within previous posts in this blog (which is the reverse of LIVE): both ‘good and bad’ opinions are ‘evil’ within the context of how the Opinions will reverse, as in change/alter/misconstrue REALITY. One will then with ‘good and bad Opinions’ see reality through ‘good Opinions’ and/or ‘bad Opinions’ – veiling reality/facts within and as the starting point of Opinions. We do the same with beliefs, for example – if the starting point of our Minds is existent within the construct of beliefs, we will see through the eyes of beliefs; and with seeing through the eyes of beliefs, where our Minds can take us to the extent of creating beliefs within ourselves from/of the Opinions we hold: we with beliefs – whether good/bad - also imbue reality/facts, which so also stand within the nature of being ‘evil’ as reversing reality in the Mind to suit our own self-interest.

Now that we have walked through all three of the following definitions for “infect” within the context of how we infect reality with Opinions: let’s bring all three definitions together with what we opened up within them and have a look at answering the question of these blogs:

What one has to understand with regards to the Mind, is that it literally takes all constructs within and as it – such as beliefs, opinions, thoughts, imaginations, reactions and will always align it within itself in accordance to what will serve it best, meaning: what will produce the most energy (emotional/feeling reactions) and what will cement your Personalities/Self-Definitions within Consciousness the most. Therefore, this is what one will find one do with Opinions: it will always only serve one’s own Mind, Personalities and Experience and never stand within the reality/factual/physical principle of equality and oneness as what is best for all. So, in terms of the question “How did a factual world become infected by opinions” – here we’re having a look at this first dimension as to ‘what Opinions does for ME’ / ‘what do I get out of it’. This ME/I point is the epitome of self-interest – therefore, Opinions serve our self-interest, whereas reality/fact doesn’t serve anything/anyone: it is what it is and it tends to the whole / all. But, we humans have this innate drive within us, in and as our Minds to be special/the one/unique/precious – whereas, with standing within the physical, in equality and oneness as what is best for all: such self-interest cannot exist.

Therefore, one can for oneself do an experiment to see how Opinions, both good and bad, serve only the ME/I of the Mind/Consciousness – have a look at the thoughts/backchat (words/sentences) that comes up in the Mind in relation to other people, for example: when an Opinion comes up, which is any/all remarks/statements/views of another person (both good and bad) and note how, when/as the Opinion comes up – one get an “experience” out of it, an emotional/feeling movement within the body. And/or together with the Opinion, one will notice how one’s body/behaviour changes in a moment – where one’s facial expressions will subtly / obviously change. Such changes, energetically / behaviourally, indicate how one is in the process of ‘feeding one’s own Personalities in the mind’ based on the Opinion one have of another within one’s own Mind. To do this practical experiment, you have to slow yourself down in/as breath – because our Mind, or we in/as our Minds, tends to move so fast: we don’t realise the extent to which Opinions are in fact substantiated with an energetic (emotional/feeling) charge and the extent to which it influence/affect the physical body.

So therefore, one want to move one’s awareness more into the physical, through utilizing breath, to change one’s relationship from the mind into physical awareness – to become physically / ‘reality-aware’ of what the Mind, through the construct of Opinions, in fact does to the body. If one, for example, only feel a movement in the solar plexus – it means that the Opinion in the Mind simply fed an emotional/feeling charge. If one’s bodily gestures/mannerism/facial expressions changed, where there was a distinct physical expression that came together with the Opinion: it means that the Opinion fed a Personality System in the Mind. (This process of how constructs in the Mind feed emotional/feeling bodies and/or Personality Systems and how to distinguish between the two – we’ll continue more in posts to come).

So for this post, the practical application process – to become aware of Opinions and its relationship to Personalities and emotions/feelings, as well as the effects of this on the Physical Body: it’s to become aware of what changes happens within self and the body the moment an Opinion arise in/as the Mind.

We’ll continue more in posts to come

When the promise of Relationship activates instant Metamorphosis: DAY 431

In the recent Relationship Success Support interview (will be available on EQAFE this Sunday/next Wednesday) – an interesting point opened up with regards to how we would (and the extent to which we would) ‘change ourselves for Relationship’ / the prospect of Relationship.

One of the first points mentioned is how, within the media/magazines for example you get the “what to do/wear and what not to do/wear for the first date”, or “what put men off from women and what put women off from men”, or “what are women looking for in a man and what is a man looking for in a woman”. It’s interesting here that some people take such things as ABSOLUTES, like these are the views held by ALL women or by ALL men…when, this is not in fact so. I mean, the lists weren’t made by asking all the billions of people available out there / in relationships already. However, some take it as absolutes and follow such lists as Religion – changing themselves DRASTICALLY just to secure a relationship, but never realising that the real you is eventually going to show/come out. Just changing yourself for the beginning stages of the relationship is Not going to change ALL of you…and then people wonder why relationships don’t work out….

Then, another fascinating point that many may be able to relate to was opened up with asking the question “Why do we Fear ‘being comfortable with who we are/in our own skin’ – essentially showing the prospective partner “this is who I am”, but instead CHANGE and HIDE a lot about ourselves when it initially comes to the relationship”? So, a dimension opened up here – showing how: when you’re in school and you see the boys/girls starting relationships and you don’t, and then start comparing you to those that ARE in relationships and then wonder “what is wrong with ME that I’m not in a relationship/someone isn’t interested in me!” When, the following commonsensical points are not considered: you’re in a SCHOOL with a limited amount of people, thus, certain people are during that time more in alignment with others that are already in the school – the person that you may during that time have been more aligned with was not in your school. And then we as teenagers take that context within/during school and think “there’s something wrong with us because WE weren’t in earlier relationships” when it had NOTHING to do with oneself per say, but that you were in a school with a limited amount of people. And people STILL live with those memories and let such memories define them, and now change themselves for relationships because they believe who/how they are isn’t enough, because it apparently wasn’t enough when they were in school.

The interview explores this process of why/how we change for relationships, why/how we become so self-conscious when it comes to relationships and why we don’t allow ourselves to just be comfortable with ourselves – already from the get-go being able to say/show to the person “this is who/how I am – do you want to share this time/our lives together?” – you know, that you already from the get-go know where you stand with you/who you are…how would the experience of the relationship change then?

We’d within this also suggest investigating the ‘Relationship to Agreement’ Course available in Desteni I Process – assisting and supporting with how to establish a relationship to self and so with another where you know where you stand with you/each other and can walk together as EQUALS and learn from each other and grow, instead of compromising oneself for relationships that only lead to self-consequence / consequential relationship.

We’ve got the past, present and future – also ‘The Now’, but what about HERE? Part 2 

DAY 426

Continuing with the point of ‘dominating our own minds’ where we looked at the example of the mirror – now, we may crack the mirror, change pieces around, turn them around, paste/plaster different things onto the cracked pieces; yet despite this – what is certain is that: the Mind, one’s Mind within the Mirror – stays the same. Nothing in fact changes, but the illusion of change is created. Where we looked at the example of dominating the Mind in the Mirror through cracking it/changing pieces around/pasting all over it/turning pieces around so as to not see them – how do we do this in our own Minds?

Cracking the mirror would be equal to how we look at things in our minds, where we misconstrue memories, for examples. Meaning, let’s say you reference/remember a Memory in your Mind where someone said something and you reacted ‘cause you interpreted what they said based on a reaction within you – never confirming with the individual what they in fact meant, but simply immediately making assumptions. From there, you completely changed the way you look at the memory/the person – ‘cracking/misconstruing’ the reality of the memory to only see parts/pieces what in fact happened and then you take those parts/pieces ONLY and from there make assumptions/interpret the entire moment/person. So, we can in our own Minds even go so far as cracking/breaking up individual memories into little pieces and then only analyse the pieces we WANT to see and react to and so change/alter/misconstrue reality in our Minds.

Here, comes to show why and how Nothing in reality in fact changes, why human nature does not in fact change – because we don’t face/challenge/confront/introspect/investigate even the reality of our own Minds, but suppress it and dominate it. In this process, we then start defining ourselves according to this dominant-relationship to the Mind, so for us to be able to “dominate our own Minds” – everything in/as the Mind has to stay the same, and so we in fact keep everything in our Minds the same, without change, just so that we can continue dominating it. Within this, bringing through the principle of “here” – standing in front of the Mirror, with one’s Mind in and as the Mirror: illustrate/show how our Minds are the “past-manifest”, where we’re standing directly in front of it would be us “presently looking into/looking at” the Mind as the past-manifest in the Mirror.

Now, what also contribute to nothing changing in the mind/nature of the human being is the fact that we’re taking the past – as our Minds, looking at it in the present and then in the present simply misconstruing/altering/changing the past in the present to create our future. Not seeing/realising/understanding within this how we’re not in fact changing THE NATURE/CONTENT/ACTUALITY of our Minds and what goes on in there – we’re not looking into/as the depths of the Mind and everything that exist within it from thought/imagination/words/images/pictures to understand WHY it exist and how it exist in the first place. And so, in the present, from the past – we’re in fact “as the future recreating the past / evolving the past” – always ‘bringing the past with us in our minds and lives and just mutating/altering/changing it’ but not in fact taking on the PAST-ITSELF and changing from within and as it.

This then bringing us to the point of THE HERE, where we’re not looking at “The Here” of our Minds AS IT EXIST in itself, we’re in a constant “past-present-future” relationship with it, using the past in the present to create the future – I mean, when are we going to learn that such a relationship to our minds, to life itself in this world is NOT THE SOLUTION and brings forth NO CHANGE but evolving consequence/remaining stagnant within what human nature and the mind/consciousness has always been?

We’ll in the next post have a look at how we spiritualize the Mind, how also through spiritualizing the mind we remain in the past-present-future imprisonment and in turn produce no change in human nature, this world or the Mind/Consciousness.
