Sometimes we have a conflict thinking that our inner world is pure and free, but that the outer world is really confusing: a real circus!
Well sure, to some extent, our being is truly pure and free… BUT:
- Free within the limitations of its human shell
- Free within the limitations of our social environment
- Pure and free WITHIN our own mental, emotional and spiritual conditioning
If you don’t take into account these different limitations of your life, you create a gap between reality and your conception of it… and that is really confusing: Welcome to the inner circus!
Of course everyone has some dissonances between reality and projected reality.
The DEFAULT MODE of dealing with these dissonances is AVOIDANCE through prejudice:
“I know I know I know… it’s all the same… I don’t care… Don’t bother me… conversation is over…”.
The CURATIVE MODE for those dissonances is UPDATING to reality.
This is why life management techniques train us first to drop our buffered reality and open our mind in order to catch up with our own lucidity.
Once open and lucid, the mind is more free to properly face and respond to reality.
By then,
inner and outer circus have vanished.
What a delight!
Welcome to your life!
