“The dream is the source of creativity.” David Jackson
What I see is. . .the idea of the enlightenment is accepted, but the understanding of its posture of being isn’t.
The revelation for our time is the neural matrix. In its relationship to an open mind it is the posture of that openness that is the character of one’s neural matrix. The neural matrix being the organic map—the source of how all life manifests organically.
This takes us to creativity, invention, or evolution. What inspires me is the open dreaming in origins of spirit. What is known is manifesting into what is to be. It is the pathway of dreaming into a dialogue and expression in thinking, feeling and willing.
Thinking is open, feeling is mastered, and willing is the effort to hold knowing into doing.
The primary obstacles of enlightenment are the ego, desire, and belief—belief sustains ignorance. The ego translates what is, desire distorts purpose. So when we put all of this together in the meeting of minds, the common obstacle to an open mind is judgment generated by desire, expectation, and conviction.
A meeting of minds requires an individual to be awake to these obstructions in the quest for open mindedness without judgment, expectation, or conclusion.
The failure to do this lives in our struggle to stay aware of ourselves consciously. It fails more often than it succeeds. The failure must be acknowledged and forgiven in order to continue forward in our learning to be open. This is part of the character of seeking rather than achieving. It is a posture of mind to be in the living process of becoming. Not so much to be enlightened, but to swim in the sea of creation.
“I feel that you are always measuring others as a person, rather than listening to what is being said. This is your way of validating what you judge in others to be credible, rather than the credibility of those who you judge .”
I seek resonance with others—though this should be examined too—rather than having to compete for status in the hierarchy of self importance. Self importance is a dominant characteristic of the ego, driven by the neural matrix. It goes way back in the evolutionary dialogue of animal behavior. It is also a dominant obstacle to openness towards an objective self.
I sense this to be a vital step towards understanding on the path of objectivity in an open and unobstructed process of an enlightened dialogue. ( See Here’s the Label, Where’s the Content? )
Most of the time we have to ‘like’ the person before we can trust or hear their integrity. No enlightened pathway can be established when doing this.
What if you witness me deceiving myself? Can you reflect back to me my own self deception—opening a pathway to a unified, objective dialogue? Am I able to own it? Can this obstacle be opened, transcended or removed?
What if we both acknowledged it, accepted it, and sought to move beyond it without sacrificing respect or trust?
What if we are stranded in the same life boat, in an unknown sea, towards the same destination?
Would we seek status, credibility, acknowledgement or objective knowing?
Are we seeking a seat at the table of the opened neural matrix?
When do we trust the other?
Ourselves?
How?
When?
Where?”
