When our perspective has shifted deep enough inward that we look outward from the inherent intelligence that communicates with us in the meditative stillness from which it operates, and when we perceive it, it makes it possible to see and discover the stories we find ourselves in, that we repeat, and others we move between, as they create temporary reflections of the patterns our underlying mental actions forms that govern our lives through them. We simultaneously discover that the original authenticity that we sense deep behind them is the absolute foundation of our being, and we perceive it as an inner relationship to an ongoing and inviolable authority giving us a perspective behind the conditions that create the chains of events that form the patterns we find in the stories of our lives. It is like discovering a shift of mind to the raw flow of experiences as they are in the patterns that simultaneously also formulates how we should behave in it. Everything we describe of the experiences that emerge from within us becomes mental illustrations of the processes that precede them. At the same time, we begin to discover that this is what makes visible reality what it is. Our description of it, even though it is our description of the mental processes by which we try to formulate our mental reality, means that we by illustration have a way of being able to interact with it through our external senses in a meaningful way. Beingness and its perspective, the authenticity of our being as a psychic essence, as its absolute foundation, is not consciousness. Consciousness uses an assignation and a designation as a form for its continuation. Beingness on the other hand is always there. Authenticity is always there. But it is not the reality of consciousness. It is the reality of being. There, the physical reality seems to merge with the mental. The two seem to be one and the same, and yet they are not. It is about perspective. From our external senses, it is the the continuity of consciousness. Conversely, it is about the source of input of the mind. From where the intangible experiential reality provides us with its content. Something which is always present everywhere, all the time. Which makes us perceive the present as being and something that is assigned to us from the outside, from the consciousness that we use when we look inward. We look into ourselves from the outside and say that appearance is the present, and we emulate events that we then refer to as the present, and give them a direction as tomorrow or as yesterday from that perception of appearance. Although they are all the same thing and originate from the perspective of the observation of pure awareness that contains consciousness. In this sense, the present is an external perspective on consciousness as a progression of appearence. Being on the other hand has no observer. Which means that with being there is no internal conflict with an observer. Karmic or otherwise attached to our mental equilibrium.
