Beneath the complex of masking defences is a mis-taken identity

People as living beings or people as personae? - makes all the difference.
A quantised belief and perception will classify or order according to selected and weighted characteristics. Who decides? Contest for narrative becomes the 'official' reality, regardless that even this will be seen and used differently at different times by different people.

That human thinking makes images, models or constructs of the world and becomes invested in them as a stakeholder by dint of emotionally invested reaction and thus identity. These are internalised by social reinforcement or tacit mutual agreements to become 'normals' for families' groups  or ideologically set identities.

But that doesn't mean we create reality, but that we cocreate our personal (and collectively contexted) experience of reality. The current reversals arise from lockdown in imaged modelling or narrative led identity, set against true or open and honest relational being and exchange.
Change is the nature of a quantised or object reality, yet there are qualities that are revealed and shared within our experience or world that are timeless yet not static or fixed to others, objects or situations.

That images can be changed is a remake, or a reshuffle or repackaged redistribution of psychic energies, that may seen to partially resolve an issue by reframed narratives. In this way the 'saviour' doesn't recognise the tyrant that shifted to mask in 'helping or saving others'.
But such archetypes are patterns of strategy for a protected self-illusion of conflict against exposure, in which victim and perpetrator shift within a fragmented or split mind that only accounts for what its filters and rules permit into awareness.

The thinking by which a mind is split to a false sense of private individuality or self-authorising automata cannot be the thinking that reveals or releases subconscious programming to recognise reality at heart. The holographic nature of consciousness is more of a 'field' than a quantum domain - yet a field only evidences through interference and resonance patterns - such as we both are and share in as the extension of life as gift.

Attempts or intent to coerce life meet a like reflection. We have 'created' a world of reactive conflicts projected or cast out to 'world'. But like with parables of wishing, the results were not recognised at the time of the wish. True willing is not coercive on self or others. But while we are phished by a mis-taken identity, a false operates in our name and as our own thinking.

Questioning our reality is for when we meet a conflict or dissonance of masked conflict so as to -as far as we may - check in at the heart, before engaging in reaction or response, which doesn't have to be framed by the 'meanings' being assumed or asserted by our own or another's thought or behaviours.

The defining of the 'problem' is where a conflict is often masked over and cast or leaks into diversions, scapegoats or obfuscations. So learning to question the apparently self-evident 'meanings' back to felt qualities, will uncover better ways to frame the questions that reveal where the problem can be immediately addressed within the sphere of who we are and are responsible for in terms of giving and receiving, learning and teaching. This will become clearer as we recognise and release what we are not or where the 'problem' is not truly defined or addressed.

Conflict set the 'human condition' that is also human conditioning. Awareness is the condition in which conflicted decisions can be resolved.  Everything else buys time against an inevitable. The more protected a conflict, the more fearful, terrible and hateful it becomes until 'too big to fail' locks in as a death spiral. But beneath the complex of masking defences set by fear & protected by misplaced sympathies, is a mis-taken identity.

In any instant of a true receiving and sharing of life is a reminder to who and what you are. Willingness for this will starve the wilful driven or compulsive problem-driven defence system. This also opens better ways to protect all that is true, in place of being phished or triggered to react to  appearances that have resonance to our hopes and fears.

While not focused in the world as we each meet it, the fact is that whatever we do or choose not to do, we do it within a context of purpose. Bringing purpose conscious is not served by focusing on what we don't want or hate - so as to renew or 'boost' an identity set in seeking some other moment rather than living from an embrace or willingness of felt and shared worth.

The use of evil as a means to gain an identity set in opposition can claim "War on Evil' as a moral  superiority, but is covertly dependent on the the thing it hates or seeks to eradicate to maintain allegiance or employment as protector and guide. Thus it uses fear to...make you safe from fear. While this is kept from awareness it seems to protect or hold order. As the mask over fear breaks down, its appeal as power and protection fades to the willingness to meet or question the fear, which is a transformative experience that is in fact being facilitated by the conditions otherwise perceived in expectations or pain and loss as the stamp of past trauma on the presence that rises of itself, because but for a welcome, it has never truly left you.
