If i really think about psychic happenings, about our inner subjective life, our imagination, the ideas and perceptions that we use as tools to refer to them, its quite easy too see that our perceptions of life relies on something that is projected on to us. They contain the energy pulses of recognisable patterns originating from behind what we imagine, and it is from that source they are then formulated and transmitted to us.
Therefore, it may not come as a surprise that we as individuals from whatever different background, traditional or not, may experience this imaginative reality that is projected from the world outside as something not really belonging to us. Rather, it is something of a general agreement that is trying to turn us into an intellectual extension of their own imagination, of their ideas and their perceptions of reality. And if it originates from a christian background, its easy to see that images of authority and heroism stands out as very important for that mindset to maintain a coherent reality. It will appear to us as a kind of generic agreement referenced as the only acceptable use of psychic energy. However, if you have a different psychological setup than that, you are going to experience problems adjusting to this rigid and stereotyped reality. Because it confuses our total set of relations of living to only a few isolated moments of imagination determined by a kind of narrowed down inner life.
But from within our reflections our visions also occur. And as an inner guide they have a wider application than just being restricted to authority and heroism. There are many more attributes to psychic energy than that. And i cannot force myself into an unrepeatable creation, and someone else’s historical or subjective vision. That will only separate me from my own reality. From the ordinary, every-day, abiding experience of reflection and the interconnected unity of all things. With earth, the community, to cosmos, and with the ultimate reality as a perspective of individual relationships to our guiding principles of energy and inner reality. And even worse, i might start to behave like there can be only one single form of psychic, spiritual or intellectual reality.
So somewhere along the path of life, we have learned to put the unacceptable somewhere. What we are, but not allowed to express. I mean all of that which we now have to transform into guilt and blame. It is psychic hygiene. It is what we do to be able to limit ourselves to an agreeable reality.
What do we do with it? We cannot just turn all that guilt and blame loose on the world.
But still, this is exactly what we do.
