The "fight" against reality

[PurpleTree]

So there seemingly is just this immediacy which just is what it is.

And then at some point separation sets in. The feeling of being separate. Which isn’t a problem but with it many things come attached. Like a feeling of lack a need to be safe which causes a need for control of self and others and so on.

I can see it in myself but also in something like Israel for example. I don’t want to dish on Israel in this thread but it’s just a good example of the human condition going to the extreme of control and survival. So then this control and survival causes things like Mossad, covert operations, Gaza and so on. It causes paranoia and suffering. And in the human condition can get very complex like narcissism and so on.

Me against the world kind of thing.

So then this fight against reality could be called resistance. So then maybe if you find spirituality or whatever at some point you develop resistance to the resistance and so on.

Someone like James from the forum would probably say you just need to love the resistance and it melts away.

But i don’t really believe in free will so that’s when it comes to grace and hopelessness.

In any case i don’t really know where I’m going with this. I just found a fight against reality a nice phrase.

It seems obvious that existence implies separation; absolute unity does not happen. For becoming to exist, there must be contrast and separation. In the absence of limits, this inevitably occurs.

If you observe reality, it is clear that energy is organized into matter. Matter is organized into increasingly complex patterns. At a given moment, life emerges, a pattern within the universal pattern, which groups into increasingly complex units. The most optimal path it finds to achieve this is war against itself, from which increasingly effective patterns emerge until giving rise to human self-aware intelligence, which groups into ever larger, interconnected units.

So, if the root of the organization of life is war, it is not strange for humans to be at war.

@PurpleTree yes. The world or reality is tough. However, realizing that you are the one, who decides what is good or bad that's what's more fucked up is (that's how I felt for me).

As I told @Someone here before; There was a Jewish girl in Nazi camp. One day, she completely realize that she will never be able to escape that camp and die there eventually, and completely let go of any anything / any expectations. That's when enlightenment is happened. 

Actually, enlightenment is more fucked up how bad the reality is, top of that you kill yourself while alive, and it is not sudden that like suicide, it is burning alive.
