A mind trap of ingenious deceit until we choose NOT to persist it

We have choice as to whether to persist in a 'thinking' identification, or instead to watch or notice such 'thoughts'.

In the first, the thinking generates a corresponding 'reality' experience of filters and rules of a narrative identity, that operate a persistence of a sense of possession and control. As if inside our own thinking or model.

In the second, the attention shifts from 'within the definitions' of currently running thought to the coherence and congruency of its experience relative to who we now accept ourselves to be in relation to others and world.

The second is of course simply  a moment of introspection or self honesty that may be delayed, evaded or defended against by  frameworks and processes of thinking that operate ways to re-assert, persist in or sustain such thinking OVER the dissonance that rises AS the symptom of conflicted premise and misalignments in ways that persist the original error of taking or being taken in by the self-image in place of a relational extension, reflection and sharing in the qualities of being.

Such that for self-illusion to 'live' prevail or survive, truth - of a resonance within wholeness of being - must 'die' or be denied.

There are tipping points as to our capacity to maintain an upside down thought system relative to a true inherence, and yet the ingenuity of mind-in-thinking is the ability to accuse or flag and attack its own conflicts in 'others' as a distribution of fear, guilt and negative consequence away from self under illusion of power by which to sustain and validate a false identity in 'righteous' attack in the name of security or defence.

I write to you the reader as an expression of the true power of choice - because while we project the cause of our dissonance out and away from our self, we make ourselves powerless to change it and compelled to hate, deny and defend against the 'other' who is charged with all the 'meanings' we cast out or indeed cast them in.

The incapacity or refusal to look at our own thought is sustained or supported by fear, guilt and pain of loss. All of which can be seen as a mind trap of ingenious deceit until we choose NOT to persist in a tyrannous and reactive thinking of false promise AND premise, and in pausing, open a space of NOTICING directly. This willingness to listen - rather than shout into our own cave grows a reintegrative consciousness as a continuity of a shifted or awakened recognition of coherency. One step at a time.

Freedom talked about without embodiment, is a parody acted out and be-lived - and that is the nature of an attempt to make life in our own image. Hollowed out and grotesque caricatures given power of worth-ship and with-ness. A false currency is not truly Current - but is passing off as a presentation by which to cover over or distort a true currency of worth and with-ness or relation for a private or hidden agenda - at cost of the whole.

When we are taken in and taken over by false thinking, we are as 'one who knows not what they do'. Reflecting the nature of the thinking and the choice being made is not the attacking of our own 'sins' in another. The ingenuity of the thinking mind is  worked through division, unconsciousness and diversion or displacing dissociation. The truly creative is the extension of wholeness - not the projection of hidden self-denials as if 'outsourcing pain of consequence' can in fact serve anything but the 'sustainability' of a self-deceit or 'mind-capture'.

When symptoms usurp and besiege us, we are in 'thinking' that is running as if reality itself and our investments keep us in a framework of threat, struggle and reaction. Looking within directly as the grace of noticing - is not a process requiring time - but we may find ways that help to pause or desist or disengage from  restless reactive identification. We may then notice all kinds of resistance or evasion to seeing - but this also can be noticed instead of identified against or blamed.

Addicts may wake as the release and walking out of a false sense of self-lack, but the undoing of any learned habit is the growing of new behavioural expression of active willingness in persistent and consistent choice that arises from and is sustained by the recognition of wholeness that is always within the release of a false identification.

Where we choose to seek guidance, direction and support is our ongoing or current acceptance. 'Checking in' with the heart is not emotional appeal or manipulative distortion, but a transparency and account to self-honesty that THINKING would usurp. How to tell the difference? WANT to know the difference! The wish to have truth be in your own image is the willingness NOT to look at what doesn't fit or support your current belief or definition. Thus the MORE of who you are is denied you under the attempt to effect a self-inflation or aggrandisement set against the lack and loss or unworthiness and invalidation of others.

If you want the freedom to uncover and share in true awareness, you have to give that purpose to have it. Split purpose operates a bubble reality awareness set against rejected or denied self.
