What are you... ( Archived) (72)

Is that all you are? Your belief system is your blueprint for your subjective reality, rightfully so. Take away your belief system and your definitions that structure your belief system, then what would be? What emotion would you have?




You understood the question, and you gave a good answer to the best you could without all the prescribed static and labels. When it comes down to it, we are feelings and emotions in our present state-of-being which may be influenced by our past and what we think in the future. What we put out, is what we get back---I know this to be true by my experiences and examinations as well as observations of others.
I'm sure you feel a good sense of what you are in mediation or on the beach looking out on the horizon on a crystal clear day. Do you feel the same if it's cloudy and cold? What causes us to filter such thoughts? Hmmmm...lol




Interesting, the mask! In a sense, the mask is nothing but a projection of what we consider our persona to be---a presentation of who we think we are due to past circumstances, experiences, our environment that influenced our belief systems, and how people defined us to be. Yeah, the mask can also be used to hide our true selves for various reasons.
Do we have to accept this? Of course not. For accepting this, limits us of who we can become and what we wish to be. Do you wish to be a label or an emotion? The Western world is constructed on being labels, and the belief systems of the Western world narrates our realities in many ways because we choose to accept some of the limiting ideas that have been projected on to us. If these ideas do not serve us well and bring us out of harmony, then the choice is ours to redefine these definitions of ourselves and our world view. Many allow others to do the defining, but in realization---comes transformation and change.By transforming those definitions when you see the definition you had, and realize it doesn't work for you, and replace it with the definition that does, you will experience change within you at that moment. You will feel the awesomeness and expansion of yourself based on your truths built on a new belief system---you will know you are a different you that serves you from within and not from somebody else or some holy scripture.

To my experience and understanding, there is no reality except what you define it to be. "All truths are true" in an infinite sense, that's the nature of our infinite selves, otherwise we'd never really be infinite, but stuck in limitation and un-creativity and probably still using horses for transportation lol . So going back to my original thought, what would we be without a belief system to define our reality? What would reality be if there was no consciousness projecting and warping its subjective thoughts onto it? Is there an objective reality?

These are not easy questions

And in looking down on creation, are you not creating something while high on life?

Is that all? Isn't that a limiting thought?
