Joining the dots to defend an invested identity is guided & supported by the initial investment – ie in masking over & distancing from a deeply disturbing sense of loss of face, of control, of defence against threats projected & perceived in others & world.
But when more fear is raised to make defence than is defended against, the questioning of the patterns we took as joined dots making reality, opens a fresh awareness for a desire to reintegrate.
Pattern recognition is not a linear process of idea-construction but the recognition of patterns that underlie the image or form of whatever expression they mask in or strategically manifest as. The underlying purpose or intent of our mind is never more than masked, or transparent. That we join in masking (mask in the illusion of joining) is our capacity to engage a psychic 'privacy', but the psyche has access and remains accessible to the whole.What does it profit... to gain a world, but lose our Soul connected awareness? it reaps a harvest of false profits set in conflicted premises that deliver unto an abundance of debt & conflicts running thestricture of a dead structure in paralysis & death. Everyone in your Dreamcast represents some facet of the More of What & Who you are. The game of judgement is predicated on thinking to know without checking in with Me. or a purpose set in its own self-referencing spin, by which the surface masks its own depth.
Recognising we do not know, allows that which is Knowing to move through and align our thought, our perspective, our lives within the source & nature of a self-aware existence.
our self-conscious reflections are not direct knowledge, but experiential feedback to our thought & word in action.
So to learn to watch our thought & speech of reaction, is to check in that is is who we consent or accept to the be-living of – Now - in this situation or moment at hand. If not then, we have already released it of status as true, so as to access and act from a more truly aligned appreciation of presence drawn from future potential and past experience in free association, in place of the stamp of a past on its 'present' as a means to make the future continuous - as in joining the dots of an algorithm made from core beliefs & self-definitions.
