we might not be as 'free' as we think we are.
### - we're not what we 'think' we are: period ;)
when you look at how overwhelming the internal
dialogue is, it's lucky we can think at all.
### - it's an internalised rational structure that we ourselves invented & relate to exclusively, everything thus gets processed through that filter/lens/algorithm before we can even get out puny little rational
mitts on it, so in that sense we're always behind caught in some kinda
seeming latency-lag (hah)
iow: we have the whatever experience in the immediate Now, and then it
takes a little while to translate it all into rational terms that we can
relate to (literally: 'make sense' of) and yet we've learned to filter all
that (process) out too so it 'seems' like we're thinking and experiencing
in real-time when in truth we're only ever always catching up...
what is it that is making that decision?
who or what makes your choices? Is it you or
is it your shitty ego running the show?
Better be sure before you leap, you could be
jumping in the fire.
### - ego (our sense of 'self') is just another invention of ours heh; we
made that shit up too :)
i.e., when ya sit there talking to yourself tryin' to figure something
out, it's as-though one is talking to another person, our internal
figuring & rationalising creates this seeming opposite pov to argue & rationalise against, and in our stupidness we learn to relate to that
(without realising we're doing it 'coz that would give the game away) and
call it the 'self', our innate ability to then relate exclusively to one position (in awareness) over any other and then view everything in the
first person from that pov exclusively, creating this fake sense of self...
how do i know this? (which is a damn good question btw...)
i know this from standing at said midway point and seein' how things
'really' are arranged, as opposed to how we've 'perceptually' arranged
things to suit from our so-called waking pov (which is the one with the
inbuilt latency-lag in it, a clear clue that that's 'not' how it is at all
lol)
and sorry if this gives anyone a headache (well actually am not sorry heh)
but, with hindsight, cc actually nailed it when he said/suggested that: "knowledge & language are separate..."
i.e., we can access knowledge 'directly' at the midway point, instantly,
but our preference for then rendering everything into strictly rational
terms before digesting it has us constantly out of kilter with the real
world and as a result we live in our own world instead! latency-lag world!
or wallyworld for short :)
there's really only one way to genuinely understand all this for real, and that's to stand at said midway point oneself and confirm just how knowledge-direct gets churned into language, and the resulting pigs-ear we
then make of it all via said churning...
anything else is just conjecture, and because we're all actually standing
at said midway point right at this moment + all the time, it's where
everyone ultimately operates from, only we project our full attention into
the waking pov and view things exclusively from there, only that's not all that's actually going on, that's just how we've arranged it to be, and to
look like, so it seems like we're only ever in one place at a time when
we're actually in several...
iow: we're actually all expert at exercising one or 2 of the many
abilities we all have at the midway point, we've just learned to do it
totally unawares is all, our ordinary non-lucid dreams being a direct reflection of it ;)
