Reality Exists in multiple dimensions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We each share common perspectives about reality. In simplest terms, we perceive self <\/strong>and that which is non-self<\/strong>.\u00a0The self is an observer. It constantly observes and makes decisions which it interprets as the truth of reality. As self observes reality, it is identified, labeled and categorized first into two grand categories<\/strong>; that which is SELF <\/strong>and that which is NOT<\/strong>.\u00a0 Self places all within these two categories because consciousness began first\u00a0with an awareness viewed as self. <\/strong>With\u00a0“self awareness”,\u00a0other events were recognized as previously unaware.\u00a0These were self categorized <\/strong>as non-self<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Learning<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Self’s process of identification, labeling and categorization is an act of recognition.\u00a0 The process of discerning self is the process of discovering reality. It is a learning cognitive process and with each new cognitive event the categories are filled and the view of reality continues to grow.\u00a0 A difficulty arises however. With each attempt at self discovery, we affect what we try to observe. We observe what we recognize instead of the newness we think awaits in non-self.<\/p>\n

Not knowing what we’ve gotten ourselves into, and like straightening chairs on the Titanic, we approach each new discovery with deciding determination.\u00a0\u00a0We give labels or names we can use to recollect them to mind when ever we want.\u00a0 These labels or symbols bec0me the elements of language we use with in our selves to describe the learning which the self realizes. Words are\u00a0the tools we use to remember and recollect at the next opportunity for recognition.\u00a0 The original symbols were NOT sound based, but psychic triggers,\u00a0 connectors within a psychic network that could be drawn and used for the demands of recognition in discovery. It would be much later before sounds would become associated\u00a0with objectifying those connections, as objectified thought.<\/p>\n

Language can teach us a lot about our nature.\u00a0 The notes we’ve taken in the process of learning have become the very elements of language itself. We can study the words we\u00a0formed to recollect or relive the learning cognitive events which gave rise to them in their first formation. They can inform or reform within us today just as they\u00a0were formed originally. The information is still there.\u00a0 We call the process of being informed from yesterdays symbols “Listening”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We\u00a0have only to bring to mind the symbols of yesterdays informing to be effectively\u00a0re informed<\/strong>. We express our desire as we choose where to place our awareness. By placing our awareness upon an event symbol, we are asking to be informed. Listening, like thinking, requires nothing but an expectation to receive from our asking. Our self does not command nor control it. Our self identifies a desire, expects to receive and does.<\/p>\n

If you think about it, you can recognize it. Thought has always come from a desired placement of focus or attention. Even the desire to avoid a school teachers scolding is enough to focus attention so as to receive a thoughtful reply to the teachers question.\u00a0Possibly we all could have done better at school, if the symbol images we focused upon were the words\u00a0of the teachers question\u00a0instead of a search through our memories of last nights reading.<\/p>\n

Listening<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most know listening brings thought. Thoughts being attractive as they are, we also know our listening can turn to other thoughts that soon appear to\u00a0wander. Thoughts always lead to other thoughts, if we don’t cut them off with a refocus upon where we started or what the speaker is saying now. We have all found ourselves listening to a speaker and having them question if we were paying attention. Words are psychic symbols meant to convey thought. They transfer images that form within\u00a0our self called information.\u00a0\u00a0Thoughts being the symbols or containers that they are, they too invoke other formations, until finally we decide we are fully informed and cut off thinking by transferring our focus else where.<\/p>\n

Our language reflects the major categorizations we’ve\u00a0\u00a0chosen.\u00a0In our formation of language, the importance we place upon self appears.\u00a0\u00a0When a word describes that which belongs to the self, our words often contain syllables like “I”, “IN”, “me” or “my” and “mine”.\u00a0 Words like infilling, inspiration, inherit, income, inscribed, instinct, insight, incite all come to mind clearly referring to effects upon the inner self as where we are and have our being. By watching the words we use, you can recognize what has often been forgotten. Reality is within us. It is a property of our consciousness; a property of the self.<\/p>\n

Inception of Self consciousness<\/strong><\/p>\n

From INception, all consciousness has joined a path of discovering itself and exploring its unique distinctiveness. Each consciousness brings a unique expanding perspective relative to its own point of inception. This unique self continues a unique development according to its choices of which divergent paths it chooses to explore.<\/p>\n

Cognitive Events and Self Cognition<\/strong><\/p>\n

Imagine if you can an eternal series of events\u00a0 where at every event the events themselves become consciously aware of their position in the eternal series of events.<\/p>\n

When their consciousness\u00a0first awakens, they are aware they are conscious. The event may be said to “Cog”. That is; as each event awakening to an awareness that they are conscious,\u00a0 that action turns their basic event into a cognitive event bringing it cognitions or a property\u00a0 of self awareness.\u00a0 This property is Not just the awareness of “an event”, but an awareness of a “cognitive self” , a “self” aware of its “self existence”.\u00a0 All events have this property.<\/p>\n

The first cognitive event is in actuality the first formative act and it forms its “reality”.\u00a0 The first cognitive act\u00a0 causes the first realization: I\u00a0 exist; the first established fact of\u00a0reality. Our first view of reality is that we have unique awareness, a “Cognos” or “knowing” that we are.\u00a0 Did you notice? Reality is formed by the combining of recognition\u00a0and realization just as all beliefs are formed today.<\/p>\n

Non-Self Awareness<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now imagine that when each self first becomes consciously aware, or cognizant, of themselves, they are only aware of their own event. But they soon discover they are able to cast their awareness or focus their awareness to that which is near by. While they were first aware of themselves, they now become aware of the immediate event preceding, and the event they are changing into or which succeeds their own inception event.<\/p>\n

Imagine that as they cognize their pre and post events, they cog or decide such are outside of their selves ( they are certainly beyond or outside of the first cognitive event).\u00a0 As awareness grows, these self existing events will decide most other events are outside of them selves until they come to understand more about themselves reflected in all they discover.<\/p>\n

Imagine as these inception selves become cognitive that the are, they also recognize, intuit or receive the knowing inspiration of others. We can be INspired by the cognitions other selves have made about themselves. Imagine that all INsights we receive by INdividually focusing our awareness outside of ourselves are IN fact the original cognitions of the unique individual event we are focusing upon. As we think we are thinking and recognizing, we are actually receiving, as Inspiration, the actual views of the event we chose to fix our attention upon. Our own realities can expand to include all that is known of all events as we shift awareness and become enlightened therefrom.<\/p>\n

As awe inspiring this realization is. It has an even more wonderful twist. We can choose to be creative, whenever we wish.\u00a0\u00a0 We can recreate what we decide would be better and form a new mage. Like the magi of ancient days, we too can form the creative images or “I” mages\u00a0of a better tomorrow.\u00a0 This recreational activity forms\u00a0new\u00a0“images” that are awesome to behold. To the little children and others unaware, the fully developed images have a “mage like” quality typical of the “magic”\u00a0we once thought brought the wondrous reality we know around us.\u00a0 The new recreative events develop from\u00a0OUR unique perspectives, form entirely new perspectives and entirely new dimensions for reality never before conceived.<\/p>\n

In the mere cognition of what would add value, we actually recognized\u00a0 that which we value in other events as being combinable with or applicable to the current event of focus.<\/p>\n

It will take quite some exploration before these conscious self events\u00a0 turn to reflect upon their own cognitive events, the events they create in thinking about whether or not others events are within or without of themselves or the events they conceive of as improvement.<\/p>\n

These we know of as, or have previously labeled as “meta level”\u00a0 thoughts; those “Thoughts about thoughts” we know form the foundations upon which all thoughts or thought events exist. It is at the meta level that we might realize all thoughts are the thinking of the universal thinker and that there is truly but one self and “all that is” exists ONLY withIN it.<\/p>\n

We recognize the self and non-self as making up the fullness of reality.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Outside of the self; outside of the self that we recognize as self, we are aware exist other things of which we are have decided are outside of our selves. While we don’t usually call anything non-self, we all share a common way of looking at most things as out but all is actually withIN.\u00a0 Believe IN it! Realize it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
