ORIENTATION # 652 : LENSES _________________________________________________ From a private conversation _________________________________________________ The attribution of sacredness, or a value in general, to our thoughts is nothing but an escape from thought itself. The moment I call certain thoughts divine I must be aware of what Im doing psychologically.. There is not such thing as divine whatsoever in our thoughts: thought is thought and thought comes from the relationship we have with our own experiences and knowledge the sum of which is the known. Imagine that no one ever told us the conceptualization of divine, imagine that no system of society and traditions ever came across to our life... (just understanding people and free minds)... and imagine that we never read & learnt somewhere the verbalization of sacredness or whatever it is... Then; would we think at the beauty of the sunset, while our brain and feelings are observing it, giving it sacred values & names ? The answer is no: We would look, think, contemplate and observe the sunset, and the whole dynamic of our process of thinking with all of its sensations and feelings, beauty and introspectiveness ... as like it is.. without conceptualization of any kind ... Is there a possibility to think about these things without getting upset or irritated because the contents here maybe touch the personal values and subjective beliefs ? This is not against something... but its merely an attempt to think a little bit more profoundly... are we willing to do that even jjust of a little while ? If you look at a flower and you see the gift of your god... or maybe some scientific belonging .. or some sentimental poetry.. then (please realize that this has nothing to do with respecting beliefs and so on): you are not observing the flower: you are merely watching it through the lens of your psycho-intellectual-mnemonic filters the sum of which comes from what you know: the known: its the known what you are watching ... even if its the first time you watch that kind of flower: the flower is the new... all of the sensations and movements of thinking that are supposed to spring out from that experience represent the new.. But all of your movements of thinking, if proceeding through your conditioned lenses... shape constantly the new into the old.. It is not a flower, indeed, what you are watching: it is merely the product of the projection of your past//known.. toward the conditioned mental screen of your present experiencing.. Here we are talking about a flower.. right ? But what if we apply such dynamic to your whole life ? If you look and observe the flower through your lenses ... whatever they are ... then you must do the same in regard of the vision you have of your entire psychological life ... isnt so ? Can we face peacefully, intelligently, together this whole matter without getting nervous because of the fact in which we may perceive that this act of thinking wants to destroy our beliefs ? This is an invitation to think.. al least for 5 minutes a day... (maybe 10 tomorrow) without the weight and ropes (and so often chains) of our psychological belief systems. We have been programmed and educated, regardless of what our society was/is... to shape the processes of thinking in a way aimed to solve all our problems whether politically, religiously, even spiritually, intellectually, ideologically, diplomatically, professionally and in terms of our relationships. Our brains, our minds, are conditioned, educated to solve problems. But its thinking, thoughts that create problems ... therefore; to solve them, we need even more thinking right ? The brain is irrationally trained to fix up psycho-social problems with further thinking, but to ignore the lenses of conditionings through which the conditioned act of thinking proceeds everyday: thats the fulcrum of everything ... as well the very reason why.. while trying to solve our problems .. we have more and more problems .. up to ultimate illusions. The mind, in this way, is always caught in a continuous process.. life become more and more complicated.. mental illnesses rise .. Whats important the most ? The spasmodic act of searching the keys how to solve our existential problems ignoring the lenses through which we corruptly look ? Or the very dissolution of those lenses made by a high act of self-intelligence ?... Cause with the dissolution of the lenses ... the problem dissolves itself with no need of solutions .. Think about these things ________________________________________________________ endoffear.weebly/ jessicamystic
