How We Defend Our Illusions · Why Not Seek Raw Clarity?
⁘ “Clarity and objective point of view — a common sense baseline, a self-evident given? But no not really. We are highly defensive of our illusions. Our precious reality bubbles. We could seek for the reality beyond your projections — the raw truth of what is. Into a ground of being where our sameness is self-evident.”
Looking for clarity and the objective point of view
seems to be a common sense baseline
and a requirement in an interactive world.
A basic vital need, a self-evident given –
rather than something we should be preaching from the rooftops.
How bizarre then,
that hardly anyone is asking the question,
is this actually clear and grounded?
Am I taking an objective look at it?
Sure we take our objective looks,
deconstruct the things that we don't like,
to make sure that they really have to be that way –
instead of the way we want them.
But the things that are to our liking –
yeah, you know, they are exactly just like that, just the way I said.
Don't ask questions, don't take a second look.
Right?
In other words, we are highly defensive of our illusions.
Our precious reality bubbles.
Would you sometime, my friend, open your eyes,
witnessing the veils of illusion you have enveloped yourself in.
Seeking a reality beyond your projections, seeking the truth.
Into a ground of being where our sameness is self-evident.
Where we land on the same page, where we can see eye to eye.
Into a shared coherent reality,
where all of us can exist in clarity, fairness and peace.
