One word.
Paradigm = A set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that constitutes a way of viewing reality for the community that shares them, especially in an intellectual discipline.
This is our programing.
However, the construct of our being as a whole, dare I call it "soul" is complex and operates on many levels of the universe.
Our "normal" consciousness is only within one of these layers. That is to say that there are other "parts" of you that you are not generally aware of.
These "other parts" of your "soul" operate outside of the realms of our "paradigm", whether you are aware of, believe in them, or not.
I see it as there being an ULTIMATE TRUTH. Call it God for short. We are in essence "automatons" of God.
Picture it like a waterfall:
At the source is "God" which flows from itself.
This "flow" trickles down through all of the layers of existance and solidifies and collects at the bottom into waht we know as the physical world.
In this sence we see God and all of the Rules of the Universe as a set of concepts.. graspable and not.
Our being follows this pattern as well. The source for each of us is this "Truth" or "God". All of the layers of our "Soul" are filtering in a sense, all of the essence of "God".
I break it down to 3 basic "parts".
Your Divine Link:
part of you that is directly in contact with the source. This part of you is essentially the "GOD" version of yourself.
Ponder the implections of this. Think of God not as a Creator Diety, but more as a vast well of knowledge that flow outward into the universe. Forget about time. Forget about Good and Evil. This is ALL.
Your Normal Conciousness
This is waht people generally Think with. It is the most basic version of yourself. It is yourself after being filtered. This is the part that you hear in your head when you are thinking. It is the most blatant and straightforward part of you. It is waht allows us to see physical Earth on Physical Earths terms. This includes the Words that we have labeled things with. This includes all of the opinions and habits that you have been molded by all of your life. This is the part that is mostly effected by your physical environment. This parts actions are only reflections of the TRUE actions of your Divine Self.
your Child or Inner Self
This is the most difficult to explain. This is sort of the filter between your Normal Self and your Divine. It is right inbetween. It is the classic subconcious. When you hear a word or see a color or a shape or an image of anykind, this is the part of it that associates that image, or color, or concept to an emotion. Emotions are thoughts without words in a sence. The Child does not recognize Good and Evil, or right and wrong. This is the part that will Translate all of the mundane concepts like sports, weather, video games, the local news, and everything that you can think of..... this part translates that into a Divine Concept. Thus all things in your life are treated like a metaphor of sorts for the greater "things" that your Divine Self are making happen.
As an example, Wehn a Baby see's a red cup and gets hit on the head with it. In the future, even AFTER the normal conciosnous has been developed... that "child" aspect is still buried in there... and it will remember that RED CUP.... so the color red, or just cups in general will have an associated emotion with it. This example is on the lower scale..... this concept goes along with Every aspect of life.
So if you view the Soul as Immortal as I do, you will see that our "Conscious Self" is the most fleeting and dynamic. Our "Divine Self" is eternal and all knowing. Our "Child Self" is translator of our existance.
All of this if for the growth of our soul. So in essence you are ALwaYS learning SOMTHING and are always GROWING in some form. Even if you have no idea waht is going on, Somthing inside of you does know.
or I could jsut be @#%^ing crazy.
you decide. but i think i'm pretty right.(don't we all)
To learn to Think Beyond your normal concious self is enlightenment. That is, to learn to "see" with your Child. You will be looking past the mundane world and begin to notice patterns and meaning in everything you see.
Any LACK of meaning that you see, is only lack of understanding.
