There is an evil in this country. Your first instinct might be to think this is inflammatory, or meant only to provoke. It is not. It’s a statement that would, if the question was polled, be agreed upon by most Americans. The people I will be discussing here would say, “
CP, I listen to you nearly every weekday and I think about your 'thesis' of this time often. I love it all. I especially love how you create your own terms for the concepts you describe.
I too have created my own terms in both of my careers (Software Architect and Visionary/Allegorical fiction writer).
In my view, you are a leader and a guide. You are guiding many of us through this...The Great Awakening. You are an avid researcher and eloquently summarize the vast knowledge you accumulate pairing it with the philosophical big picture you have constructed.
So here is a question for you. What if all forms of reality are false realities and what if THE purpose of life (all life at all levels) is to discover the fact that each currently resides in a false reality, and must navigate the journey from the more limiting false reality to the next one up, which will feel "truer" and "freer" until it too is much, much later discovered to be false (in some way) and limiting?
I currently surmise that the true self is consciousness. I also think your consciousness (and mine) is not merely our mind. In the midst of a heated discussion at work many years ago, I accidentally held two perspectives simultaneously. There was the me yelling with colleagues, and another part of me hovering in the upper corner of the room observing myself with no judgment or emotion. I was literally seeing from both places at the same time.
As you say, it seems that the false reality you (we) see is indeed constructed by evil beings. But they were allowed to do that. Perhaps that is still within the rules of this level of reality. It does serve us (individually) to awaken regardless.
Perhaps the next reality we find ourselves in, once we fully arrive, will be much less evil (or not at all evil). It will be much freer (speech and choice), but still limiting since our consciousness will still have to stay with and inside a body (relatively speaking). [That limit is not strict, not even at this current level.]
I still think this Great Awakening will have surprises for all of us, even the most awake. We will be surprised and delighted and perhaps shocked and even horrified (but hopefully only briefly).
Regardless, I so enjoy your presence in this journey. Your mind, your laughter, your sure-footedness, your moxie. I admire and appreciate you. It's good to see how many others do as well.
