As our interpersonal experiences take us beyond our conceptual ego dualism and draw our attention to the echo of everything we say, think and do, and we are confronted with this between ourselves and ourselves, our old game faces come into conflict with the content of the echo that we encounter in ourselves. At the same time, we also see the same thing around us in our environment. As we confuse this echo from within us with that between others and themselves in our environment, we are confronted with the contradiction within us that causes the conventionality that conditioned our previously habitual way of being to begin to question the identification we have with our game faces in the encounter we have with the psychic content we are provided with through the echo of what we say, think and do. It is from the echo of this insight and clarity that consciousness begins to grow. Not by shedding our game faces, but by consciously seeing them for what they are, what they represent, and expressing our true fundamental nature in the way that best reflects it, and using it as an expression of the greater clarity of which we are a part. The meditative process this entails causes us to undergo a mental transformation that causes us to become neurotic in our conflict with ourselves because we can now see it in its echo in everyone everywhere around us as well. We begin to see through the traumas that once distorted the foundation within ourselves, by listening to the content of this echo. We become aware that in order to feel a sense of belonging, we adapted to the conditions that once determined the context that was allowed to carry our relationship to the original whole, that it also meant that we had to suppress our unique relationship to it. This is also why we initially push it away and see it as something in others. We don’t see that it is an echo from the absolute ground within ourselves that provides us with what we need to grow. We can see it most clearly in nature and the stillness it surrounds us with and we need to pay attention to it when it shows itself to us.
