It is a wild experience to see and hear how rootless and confused we are, and how far from our basic essence we can go in our distorted and undeveloped relationship to our mental activity. At some point this will make us go all the way back to the original totality we were in as children, and find the wholeness that constitutes our inner fundamental state of being. It is in it, from this underlying inner perspective, that liberation lies from our conditioned relationship to consciousness’s own properties and their original functioning. Which is not possible as long as it is the inner observer that controls how we should take in the experiences that constitute the content of our consciousness. From the perspective of the totality, it is a terrible mental mess that we are thrown into early in our lives, to try to manage ourselves in because most of those around us are themselves confused and do not want to have anything to do with it because of the vulnerability it opens us up to. At this point, we do not know that the basis for it is to be found in the consciousness that contains our experiences of the totality that seeps in with its awareness and the liberation it brings to our conditioned way of encountering consciousness’s internal properties. When we meet them, we are confronted with everything that made us submit to our parents’, and our surroundings undeveloped relationship to this psychic energy, to their personal mental flow, and what conditioned the inner qualities of their consciousness in relation to us. But not only that, the vulnerability of what it meant not to be present and allowed to express the conversation that is simultaneously going on in our relationship to ourselves between us and ourselves and others independent of our external senses. We discover within ourselves the oscillation that has emerged between being heard and seen, and seeing and hearing others in the absolute presence that arises in that communication. So the old authority we have learned to assimilate so well appears again. On the one hand, we do not allow others to express their relationship, or their understanding of the ongoing experience they perceive in their relationship between their consciousness’s own qualities and them. On the other hand, the vulnerability that opens us up to noticing how it affects us in relation to the direct knowledge, insight and experience we are involved in from the fundamental perspective we perceive from beyond the old conditioned properties of consciousness. Or pure unmolested consciousness. When we see the vulnerability and the coercive authority we have learned to use, to be heard in our own relationship to this perspective, we also discover how it has an inhibiting and limiting effect on our surroundings. At the same time, we also learn to see ourselves in it when we allow it to speak in people around us. To express it freely without being questioned, reprimanded or silenced by the submission we ourselves have experienced being exposed to by the conditioning of our inner awareness that is independent of our outer senses.
