What are we looking for?

[Anton_Pierre]

We are looking for the ultimate truth or explanation to life.

To understand ultimate truth we need to explore our ideas of what we think reality is.

To explore reality we must first release any pre-conceived notions.

Be aware that when you transition into the next dimension or degree of consciousness it's very radical.

When people say it's like waking up from the dream, it's true however the ego (you) will not be able to understand this.

To give a mental image of what the transition is like, imagine a character inside a video game.

If this character lived his entire life as the video game character he is never going to understand what he looks like from the gamer's perspective. 

That is exactly what is happening in your life, as you move through each day, you're on this human auto-pilot. To turn off auto-pilot is very scary idea because even your own thoughts are connected to the human auto-pilot.

That is what we are talking about when we say awakening. It's that ability to see from the gamer's perspective, seeing the graphics on the screen of a television from inside the television as the video-game character. 

The paradox however is that when you awaken and can see from a gamer's perspective that everything is just like a video-game, it will still appear from your first person perspective.

A lot of people call it seeing Nothingness, but I feel as though calling it seeing the graphics of the video-game works best for me. You are so inside the game that you take the graphicness for granted and it appears static and material. 

Exercise

1. Imagine how this video game character is inside the game and has no idea he's being controlled by the gamer.

2. Imagine that he becomes aware of the gamer's perspective of the screen and he is able to realize he's made out of the screen's pixels. 

3. Realize now that you are in the same situation, you are just like the video game character who is trying to see how he's part of the game, not separate from other pixels from a first person perspective.
