He clearly likes contemplating he may just now need to develop skills of self reflection, allowing, not knowing, trying to understand other’s perspective and not needing to be right or prove. We all can work on this stuff. Being wrong and realizing it for most of us is more valuable than proving you are right. Chances are even if you prove you are right… you are wrong. HAHAHHAHAA So much projection in this!!! Look at all this, NOW I AM a gaslighter? This entire thread makes my point!!! Notice how everybody is creating their own definitions from their POV of what gaslighting is!!! So from integral's perspective I am not gaslighting, but from breakingthewall's perspective I am gaslighting. So which is it? I thought this was an OBJECTIVE term people!!! Are you all so asleep you cannot see what is being pointed too? Read through the thread again...notice how off one post...comes so many different interpretations!!! Notice this!! So the question if you are trying to grow is WHO IS RIGHT? Look at it objectively. If you really pay attention you will see that each POV is just doing what most POV do, they interpret information based on how it relates to them. THAT'S IT!!! Because if that was not the case.....the meaning being crafted would be the same....or at least very similar. BUT IT ISN'T!!! Everybody is reacting and seeing DIFFERENT THINGS and then interpreting it differently!!! THIS IS HOW YOUR ENTIRE LIFE HAS BEEN RUNNING!!! You don't live in an objective reality, you live INSIDE a subjective reality, that is created through the MEANING YOU CREATE. This is why two people can live in the same house with similar circumstances, but their world view can be completely and utterly different. No two people internalize the same experiences similarly. What can traumatize one person won't traumatize another and vice versa. But I love the reactions in this thread....you could do a case study on how each person reacted to this thread and their varied responses....this entire thread...literally made my point for me....and I didn't have to do a thing. This thread is a mirror to exactly my point.....and things went exactly according to plan. So for anyone who isn't interested in emotional drama, but is ready to take responsibility for how they interpret reality....here you go. A gold mine of examples of how you may act in your life given to you by all the POV. You can actually see how you may react sometimes by looking for similarities to how people reacted to this thread. This is a fun game you can play with yourself on checking how you react in moments that don't go the way you want them too. Little extra seasoning (from a previous thread I wrote: Many Men will say things like facts don't care about your feelings, this is true, facts don't care about your feelings, but guess what? Your own feelings have never cared about facts. Not a single time in your life has your feelings ever cared about facts, or evidence!! It will only look for facts...to buttress (support) its feelings and nothing else. But if the contrary is presented it will be ignored. Edited November 18, 2022 by Razard86 You are a selfless LACK OF APPEARANCE, that CONSTRUCTS AN APPEARANCE. But that appearance can disappear and reappear and we call that change, we call it time, we call it space, we call it distance, we call distinctness, we call it other. But notice...this appearance, is a SELF. A SELF IS A CONSTRUCTION!!! So if you want to know the TRUTH OF THE CONSTRUCTION. Just deconstruct the construction!!!! No point in playing these mind games!!! No point in creating needless complexity!!! The truth of what you are is a BLANK!!!! A selfless awareness....then that means there is NO OTHER, and everything you have ever perceived was JUST AN APPEARANCE, A MIRAGE, AN ILLUSION, IMAGINARY. Everything that appears....appears out of a lack of appearance/void/no-thing, non-sense (can't be sensed because there is nothing to sense). That is what you are, and what arises...is made of that. So nonexistence, arises/creates existence. And thus everything is solved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
