Now, when we are learning the skills that we need to know to survive in this world, we breakdown everything into parts that can be measureable. We learn the mathematics of time, weight, length, etc. so that we can function in our civilizations, and this influence of understanding space and time to be measureable, has helped us sub-consciously construct a mental box around our consciousness, because we are unconsciously viewing ourselves as being in a "space", and since we understand space to be measureable in our world, we let our guard of awareness down and let ourselves be boxed in. This is not an accident...
It has been easy for oppressors to manipulate us because we must understand time and space as tools of measurement to live in the world today, and our subconscious influence of understanding time and space as tools of measurement, makes us that much easier to fool, because we naturally, and unconsciously set limitations to our true potential by applying the knowledge we've learned to measure time and space, in our world, to attempt to measure that which is unmeasureable, with the infinite universe. The reason that we end up swallowing this intangible theory is because we sub-consciously "know" time and space to be measureable. I hope this is sinking in. If not, I ask you this...
Hasn't it ever seemed odd to you that we are told to believe that space just goes forever? I mean, any space that just goes on forever is not really a space, at all is it? Any space that goes on forever means that there could not be any other space anywhere else, right? And if both time and space are infinite then doesn't it make sense that the foundation of our beings is also infinite? I mean, time and space are the foundation of our universe, right? Doesn't it make more sense that the "universe" that we live in is really an infinite ocean of "consciousness", and we are each a drop making up this infinite ocean?
Everything that we understand of the world is filtered through our anatomical ability to percieve the world through our 5 senses (sight, sound, smell, taste and touch). Our mental construction of the universe and how things work are fashioned from our interpretation of the world through our senses. For example: when someone has a poorly balanced lifestyle, a universally tangible visualization of that would be a scale with "work" weighing down one side and "sleep, rec, travel, eating" elevated higher on the other side due to the uneven weight distribution. See how we took something that we had come to know through our physical world and used that interpretation of how we conceptualize "balance" to create a model that helps us understand something else? We live in a physical world where we understand "space" (weight) and "time" as tools of measurement, and because of this we are able to draw how the 2 can relate. Only through perceiving the world with the senses, is this model even tangible to us. And the reason why is "motion". I have said before that if we didn't have motion we would not be able to differentiate a background from a foreground. It is the same with the scales. We can only understand how the scales represent balance because we live in a world where gravity and motion exist.
The problem with using the scales as a model for balance is this: To understand balance as "this way" or "that way" is still only 2-dimensional. Think of it like using machine weights as opposed to free weights. Machine weights move through a fixed plane of motion, which means that the overall muscle fiber recruitment is less because the muscle only moves through a fixed space. Free weights on the other hand move in a free range of motion, so maximum muscle recruitment can be achieved for the best growth. Like the machine weights, visualizing "balance" as a teeter totter or a scale is training the mind to think in a 2-dimensional way. We are limiting our spiritual and psychic abilities by using these 2-dimensional visualizations. Start trying to consciously visualize "balance" as a cone with a round plate on the top of it. We know there is always more than one side, but there are usually more than 2 sides to something too.
EVERYTHING, all concepts, theories, and ideas that we feel comfortable labeling and understanding in life can only be done by our understanding of our physical realities, and more specifically...geometry in motion. ). Since we are predominantly visual creatures, visualizations help us conceputalize and compartimentalize the world and how it works. We can see this influence in symbols throughout our world's cultures. Symbols like the ying-yang sign and the infinity sign are examples of the influence of geometry as an ancient language. These are simple signs that can somehow represent the same concepts and beliefs, almost universally. For example: When you look at a Ying- Yang Sign do you see the following representations? #1 Balance, #2 Light in the Dark/Dark in the light, #3 Opposite but the Same, #4 Unity and Duaility, #5 Parallel Universes. Almost every single person can find the relation in the 5 examples that I've given. Why? Because we experience our world through the same 5 physical senses, which have helped form in our consciousness, a 3-D landscape.
The best examples of how our brains are fashioned can be seen in the technology we have in today's world. Most of us have used a computer for so long that we have forgotten why Windows was such a technological breakthrough. Windows was a breakthrough for one simple reason: It was universally easy to understand how to use. Windows changed the design of the overall operating system of computers. Windows created the "Desk Top". This was universally easy for people to understand because it resembled the top of a desk. You could organize your media on one side, your documents on the other just like you organize the top of your desk with pens and papers and supplies. It was something that was easily translatable to how we experience our physical world. What Windows did is it made the 2-D canvas of personal computers into a 3-D landscape to "build" in, rather than "draw" in.
If any of you have used Windows 8 and don't like it, here is why: When you press the power button and sign into a Windows 8 computer, you are taken to a screen that has different applications. Just like the application manager on an android. This is confusing and irritating to get used to because they changed the whole foundation of the operating system. It's like they took the authority away from the the "Desk Top" and gave it to the application manager. So, it's like they took away the top of the desk and replaced it with a painter's palette with different shades of blues, reds, greens, etc. Then, on top of changing the foundation, when you figure out how to access the desk top, you notice that the "start" button which has always been in the bottom left hand corner is gone. In Windows 8, the "start" button is now a little arrow on the bottom RIGHT HAND side of the screen. In essence, it changed the foundation and moved the ignition to the opposite side of the vehicle. Windows 8 literally re-routes your brain.
With the advances in technology it is becoming easier to understand what our brains are like, because we are mimicing in technology, what we do in real life with our brains. Have you ever asked yourself what an "app" is? Or a "widget"??? An "app" is a shortcut for a program, and a "widget" is a shortcut for an "app". We keep making shortcuts for shortcuts for shortcuts with computers. How can we not see that the same is being done with our brains? I mean, a computer is really just an extension of the brain, right? We live in a microwave society that is always telling us how to live, what to think, and what to believe. When you see a news report always keep in mind that the information being given is someone else's interpretation of some information. News can never really be objective. News is subjective in nature because it is written by a subject who has their own views and opinions! We all need to become aware of how the 2-dimensional consciousness of our society, has formed the beliefs and morals that are prevailant in our world today, that need to change. Nothing in the world is one dimensional, or even 2 dimensional. We must always keep this awareness, and strive to see the "whole". Because we are all but a side on the infinite sides of a sphere....If karma is like Newton's Cradle (Every action has an opposite or equal reaction), then try to imagine trillions and trillions of Newton's Cradles intersecting in the same space and you will see a big staticy sphere. This is the simplest way to look at life. Our goal must be to stop the static...
