Self-perpetuating fractal patterns of belief – using intellect as a servant

How do I create expectations about the future of what’s going to happen?
Based on past experiences? But relying on past experiences as a predictor for the future is playing into the same self-perpetuating fractal.

For example, if you believe deep down you are unworthy, then that fractal is working unconsciously under your nose towards creating a story from your life that would prove this back to you. Like if you met someone and had a good time, you would still be insecure. The next time you meet them, you would start testing them, asking all kinds of questions to prove you own case. It is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Since all of reality is basically our interpretation, if you construct a powerful story that proves they rejected you, aha! you proved it. The more intelligent the person, the more subtle and fantastic story they can come up with. But ultimately the intellect was just a servant of the belief that was trying to prove itself. That is the pattern of the belief, it will play itself forever.

The game between intellect and belief is like, to give an analogy, the intellect is like the painter and belief is like the master of the painter. The master says ‘Paint me a landscape, but only use the colors black and brown’. The painter is like ok!, Better the painter, more the detail and awesomeness of the landscapes. But ultimately he was just following the higher instruction coming from the master, to use only the colors brown and black. So no matter what paintings come out, they are all possible combinations of brown and black.

Similarly, our reality can be a recursive spiral/fractal of the same emotions of fear, guilt, rejection and it can create entire intricate worlds. It might even be unimaginable to think of alternative worlds, because you have made so much of intricate investment in creating those worlds. But completely different worlds (paintings) can be created with much better emotions (equanimity, peace, love, joy, celebration, ecstasy) and the intellect would use all its power to paint according to the new beliefs driving it.

Sometimes the more intelligent the person, the more convincing they sound, because their stories are so much more intricate, detailed, connected and the relationships between elements are very complex. This complexity can absorb the listeners mind so much, they might very easily lose sight of the fundamental core-beliefs driving this whole castle like creation.

Entire kingdoms of guilt-fear paradigms would vanish if the underlying belief structure is seen through.

The 4 main attention hijacks of my life

So the 4 main attention hijacks in my life are:
Survival, Sexual/Eros feelings, Other people with expectations, My dreams/beliefs/vision.

1. Survival need makes me seek – Security, Food, Water, Avoidance of physical threats (and harm), Avoidance of pain, Avoidance of loss.
(Mind Free from primitive/primal needs——-<spectrum>——-Mind seized by primitive/primal needs)
Chakras: 1

2. Sexual/Eros/libido/pleasure energy makes me seek – status, power, prestige, respect, love/wantedness/desirability, achievement, praise, admiration, beauty, passion
Spectrum: (Happiness/Pleasure ——–<spectrum>———- Depression/Anhedonia)
Chakras: 2,4

3. Other people’s expectations makes me seek – acceptance, belonging, peace, harmony (states of flow), cooperation, trust, identity, security of relationships, stability of relationships, meaning from relationships
Spectrum: (Coherence, purpose, stability, openness ——- Fragmentation, confusion, chaos, narrowness) 
Chakras: 3

4. My dreams/beliefs/vision make me seek – truth (enlightenment), higher knowledge/understanding, intellect, expression, freedom, novelty(exploration, curiosity), higher purpose, higher vision, true identity, ultimate meaning, transcendent (God).
Spectrum: (Enlightenment/Knowledge————Delusion/Ignorance)
Chakras: 5,6,7

Sexual Energy Hijack of Attention/Motivation: (addiction)
Sexual energy is like a dopamine/motivation hijack. Suddenly all your interest/motivation/attention is moved to find more and more stimuli/images of that kind only to get more and more pleasure. Interest in all other stuff, is temporarily lost.But the issue is, this continues until it reaches peak pleasure (a spike) and then its hold is sharply lost/dropped. This is some kind of pleasure trampoline. I can clearly see the sexual/eros feeling itself is non-sexual. Its just a pure energy sensation if you can get your mind away from the content and just focus only on the direct perception of energy.That energy seems to be triggered and intensified only with sexual stimuli/images. Its as if the stimuli awaken that particular part of the brain and thereby increases dopamine in that direction of thinking. Simplistically, our whole motivation system is mappings to what triggers dopamine right? So the sexual images and perceptions are hijacking the motivation system temporarily. So in that period, you are possessed and all you want to do is to reach the max pleasure possible. This continues until the peak orgasm is reached and then sharply declines off freeing the motivation system again of its grip.Hijack of attention by other people’s expectations: (co-dependency)
Even other people’s expectations has a way of stimulating the motivation/dopamine system of mine. Suddenly I have motivation to please them, do as they expect me to, be in the flow as per them, and behave as per their expectations, or use my old learned patterns of relating (since they are tried and tested). That is why people around me, motivate me, move me in directions. Once they are gone, even the motivation disappears.

Hijack of attention because of survival needs: (insecurity, anxiety)
Even the things I need to do for survival is a motivation hijack.

Attention hijack –  Chakric activity: (sensation mappings to mood/thoughts)
For example, if there is strong sensation in the sexual organs, then I put all my attention there.
Another example would be a hollow uncomfortable sensation in the solar plexus chakra. Again all attention goes there and the sensation content consumes consciousness.
It becomes a loop, because the more that sensation captures my consciousness. Subsequently there is the part of, what I do with the sensation, which is related to the dopamine system fractals.
The dopamine system abstract algo/fractal is like:
If there is ‘X’ sensation in ‘X’ Chakra, do ‘X1-X2-X3-X4….’

When alone attention hijack happens because of thinking about what the immediate people in my life expect from me.

Attention hijack also happens to me based on expectations of the environment I am in. This again comes back to people, a people created system of reinforcement/conditioning and training.

Another attention hijack is my own perceived problems.
It grips my attention proportional to the intensity of the problem.

Another attention hijack is a future event expectation of pleasure.
It could be a new item I ordered, it could be the visit of some person I’m looking forward to see OR the most exciting would be some kind of new crush/sexual encounter.
Here in this case, that thought consumes all of my attention, and I am constantly fantasizing about it and imagining the kind of feeling I could get from it.
I cannot think of anything else at that time, because that would change my state, and I feel a great affinity/attraction/attachment to the pleasure state.
Once I have pleasure, all I want to do is pull on with whatever the stimulus activity was, and I have no drive to shift away from it. If circumstances force me to shift, I’ll be very heartbreaking to let go of the pleasure state. I use this all the time infact. Not only for eros stuff but also for reading an interesting article, anything that I have an inherent interest, curiosity, drive, passion for.

Revelations – Jan 23, 2015

I dance to express.
I sing to express.
I write to express.
I draw to express.
All my movement is expression.
All my thought is an expression.
All my action is an expression.
Everything is an expression of this
Mysterious energy which I am.

Everything inside me moves
By a mysterious force which I am.

This shimmery ever-changing ecstatic reality
Is always accessible to me.

I can always cover up this reality though
This open experience, by holding on.
Everything I hold on to, conscious or unconscious
Is the reason why I do not experience the nirvana freedom.

There are endless fractals perpetuating themselves
At varied levels from Grossest to the Subtlest.
I now see myself out of most of them.

The more I let go and see, I can see
That I can get lost in my own acts.

Why will I voluntarily let myself get lost?
For the fun of it?
For the adventure of it?
For the experience of it?

Why would I ever want to experience getting lost
In my own creations? And Suffer?
Just for the experience of suffering?
So that I can experience the hidden aspects more gloriously?

When they are revealed to me?
This is like a hide and seek game
I play with myself
I hide from my power, and imagine I’m weak
Just for the experience

And then I go BOO!
And I have the power back again
What a relief it is
What a joy it is
To see I have never lost THAT

I play this game endlessly
Of hide and seek with myself
Because it is so entertaining

I endlessly discover my hidden aspects
I endlessly keep finding myself
I can do this endlessly because
I am infinite

All belief created realities are equivalent when seen in their totality

All belief created realities are equivalent when seen in their totality just like all movies are equivalent in their totality. So if I’m trying to find truth IN THE MOVIE, I just find the truth of the movie contents, but when the movie changes, then again, the contents change and I find the truth of the new movie.

But the real transcendent truth is beyond the movies(Appearances). The real truth, is the one taste, the one unifying substance of all belief created realities (of all of reality itself). The movies may have recurring themes of varying abstractness, but the transcendent truth unifies all of the movies.

The transcendent truth is independent of the specific movie appearing on the screen. It is the quality of ‘MOVIENESS’ itself which applies to all of the movies appearing no matter what.

New perspectives on Love

The energy of creation is Love.

The energy of manifestation movement is Love. (Note: Manifestation is movement in duality, no movement = no manifestation of anything whatsoever)

Love energy = Creation, Gain

Loss of Love = Removal, Depression, Loss

The will to do something, even the will to live, is a manifestation of ‘Love energy’.

When this love energy is lost, it is felt as depression and all your creations(devoid of love now) become a burden to you.

Just like absence makes presence fonder, the loss of love sharpens the perception of love itself (just like you can see light the most only when you emerge from darkness).

In other words, all manifestation is out of love i.e. a spontaneous creative act.

If that is the case,

– Suffering experience is from a love for suffering

– Pain experience is from a love for pain

– Defiance is from a love for defiance

Similarly, love for torture, love for laziness, love for hate, just about any negative thing you can come up with has the energy of love/creation driving it.

Love is the energy driving ALL OF THE MANIFEST. The concept is transcendent. It is something like the concept of presence. There is only presence and absence is also a kind of presence only ‘the presence of absence’. Similarly, love is the energy behind all movement in the experience field, call it -ve, +ve, its irrelevant.

What you love, you become. Its just a matter of time. See beyond the time dimension and its clear they both are ONE THING. You are already your desire/what you love.

The ‘becoming’ illusion is a transformation that happens in time.  Its like solid becomes liquid and then becomes a gas as we heat it. The substance has changed form, but it is still the same essential substance right no matter what the form – solid, liquid or gas?. This is something similar. Similarly here, potential –> Kinetic energy is a transformation we see in time, but when seen outside the time dimension, they both are ONE. Your potential/desire/what you love is EXACTLY what you will eventually become. Things may appear to stop this process, but for how long, this potential energy when given the opportunity will convert itself to kinetic becoming. You ALREADY ARE your desire if seen from a perspective transcendent of time.

I am the supreme being

I am ‘The being’ of everything
Everything arises in me and passes away in me
I am like the Infinite screen that can BE any picture
But am fundamentally none of those pictures myself

All pictures are empty of essence
Similarly, all experiences are empty of essence
The ultimate truth is the non-essence
Of all experience/phenomena/perceptions

The sun, moon and stars all revolve inside of me
The universe manifests inside of my being.

My being is prior to all appearances

All appearances are from the dance of ‘my being STUFF’
If I stop dancing, everything becomes still, and I AM THAT
I do not create my hand, I am my hand
Similarly I AM this universe, I do not create it

I do not need to know how I do it
That is irrelevant
Just like I can move my hand
without an inkling of knowledge as to how I do it

I JUST DO IT.

Words like empathy, care, love, concern need redefinition

When another person is dejected, I felt obligated to also feel the same dejection that person is feeling.
It was my own internal guilt telling me that I should display the same dejection on my face too.

Then it occurred to me, how does that help? How does it help if I make myself feel the same feeling the other is having? If I also felt dejected with him, then does that help anyone? I feel this is fundamentally flawed at all levels.

Empathy according to me is respecting, allowing and hearing the feelings the other is having, it is not about making yourself feel the same feeling. I see that a counterproductive. First of all does someone really want to stay dejected? If a particular event in his/her life triggered this, does it really help if another unconnected person with a different dream and life is obligated to feel this same feeling? Is it fair to IMPRISON/HOLD HOSTAGE another person’s feelings to match yours, until you have it?

That seems like an intensely cruel act, perpetrated in the name of demanding humanitarian empathy. The principle is: ‘I am feeling terrible, and I want you to feel as terrible as me, as long as I feel terrible’. The issue is now, the person originally feeling terrible cannot step out of his/her own state, because now, even the other person has joined in, so the 2 people together support this state and perpetuate it much longer than if the other person stayed in a good mood and thereby revealed the transiency of the dejected state.

It is almost like the act of a devil, pulling you(sucking the soul out of you) using her eyes of guilt into her evilness. Isn’t that exactly what we call horror? And all this cruelty and insane dysfunction is masked and masqueraded under the word ‘EMPATHY, CARE, CONCERN, LOVE’?

If a person constantly gets themselves in a bad, low vibration, dull, heavy, sticky mood, listless mood and then demands that the other get into the same state of feeling in the name of care, love, concern, empathy and love, something is SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY wrong and needs to be urgently investigated!!!! Those words need serious redefinition.

Fear, Guilt, Shame, Neglect, Dissociation – Only exist in unconsciousness

dark_room

Emotions like Fear, Guilt, Shame, Neglect, Dissociation only exist in darkness.

Imagine you had a mansion with 10 rooms. 3 of them, you have decorated and visit everyday. But the other 7, you have locked them up and believe that there is something terrible in each of them. You never open those doors because of that belief.

These beliefs/imaginations/stories about what lies behind those doors is stuff like:

Fear(something in the room will scare the shit out of you)

Guilt(something in the room will make you a slave and subjugate you)

Shame (something horrible is inside this room)

Neglect (something totally worthless is there inside)

Dissociation (could be a combo of something worthless, horrible, scary, subjugating)

So I say, its all darkness, because, what is in the room is not known to awareness. The belief shadows the whole of these rooms.

Is what is happening good or bad?

This question is irrelevant. After all, if you ARE with WHAT IS happening, then there is no fragment to stand apart and judge the other fragments as good or bad. You are so totally THAT, that the judger too gets absorbed into the THAT.

Emotion Types (Focusing, Dispersing)(+ve, -ve)

In emotions we broadly have focusing/narrowing/inhibiting/coalescing emotions and dispersing/spreading/disinhibiting/freeing emotions. Additional each of those emotion types could be +ve or -ve.

In short:
Focusing emotions (+ve, -ve)
Dispersing emotions (+ve, -ve)

Focusing emotions:

Shame, Guilt, Fear – Inhibitory, Negative Controlling & Focusing of Attention

Curiosity, Fascination, Passion – Inhibitory, Positive Controlling & Focusing of Attention

Dispersing emotions:

Wonder, Love, Creativity – Dis-inhibiting, Positive, Freeing of Attention

Chaos, Confusion, Spacing out – Dis-inhibiting, Negative, Freeing of Attention
