Yes, but… This is true of mental perception, yes, but vastly “other” perceptions are available through what I call Heart, which is not something of 3D, but more a sort of portal into the beyond, for lack of better words. Words fail us when entering these “deeper” regions of Being, unable to contain or convey our experience.
Yes, there is no real self, which is but an illusion of perception, of perspective. There’s an emptiness one can encounter on the serious search for “self,” or perhaps “Self,” what many call Higher Self, but these are just words.
What “I” wanted to share is that it is, indeed, possible, from the perspective of this inner emptiness (again, don’t rely on the words, go deeper) to enter an impersonal perception of everything. We leave the realm of relativity, of the either/or aspect of that, & find ourselves in what I’ve called a triality, a sort of realm of the both/and, of an ultimate inclusiveness.
The challenges here are all for the mind, which can’t handle the One or oneness in which we find ourselves, where there is literally, not the possibility of any two. Thus do both subjectivity & objectivity collapse, for are they not comparative? All is but One, & that is our direct experience which cannot be conveyed by words, making it challenging to try to speak of it.
Nor can the 3D mind grasp any of this, but Heart also thinks in its own way, vibrationally. Even the physical heart produces neurotransmitters, after all — as does the gut — so what we take for thought deserves much deeper examination. We have other pathways to knowing.
I’ll leave off just by presenting the overall concept, the possibility of the direct experience, both of the utter emptiness which is, at the same “time,” (for time is not what we take it to be, here in 3D,) also the All That Is & Is Not, The void also exists, a conundrum in itself, for how can we grant existence to that which is not, do you see?
What is nowhere to the mind is NowHere to Heart — the eternal Now that always is, always was, always will be. No one ever lived when it wasn’t just Now, be that 1204, 1592, or 2018.
Please pardon my clumsy words & go for the sense of what is being said. All words can be from this inner space is but background music to what’s being conveyed, or rather, what’s being made available. It takes exercise of free will to complete the connection.
I’m no philosopher, just sharing from my personal walk. As we move out of head & into Heart or what is often called the inner realm, we, in effect, enter another reality, one where the rules & everything are entirely other. It’s so strikingly different that it’s a journey, not something one can study & master. It just doesn’t work like that.
Finally, perhaps the “biggest” thing one discovers is that the realm of causation is awareness or consciousness, the 3D world being the realm of effects. It’s a shocking journey, to be sure, but only for the mind, which we find isn’t the brightest bulb, isn’t the pathway into awakening.
I apologize, once again, for my poor job of conveying this. Wishing you well.
