Post #225 "Self Without Other"

Self without Other is futile.

Without 'Other', Self cannot define Self nor even find Self within itself.

How could 'cold' be defined without some knowledge of 'warm' or 'hot'?

How could we know of 'up' if we only experienced what is 'level'?

How can we know Self without knowledge of Other?

Does Knowledge of Self not come from the Knowledge of Self through

Other?

---and is this not our definition of Love?------how Self is seen through the

eyes of the beholder, through the eyes of other?

 

How would we define 'evil' or 'good' if we look only within self?

Could 'evil' even exist without other?

Actually does 'other' not usually define evil?

Is 'other' not where we look to find evil?
Evil certainly could not be within Self.
Denying 'Other', we create other.
 

It does seem, does it not, that we admit to 'other' for the purpose of assigning evil?

We do create some form of 'other' because we need evil to exist.

How can we ever Become God without evil?

We can't, because we create God that we may Perceive ourselves to be something

we are not.

Humanity, as God, just does not exist in Reality,

and we know it.

 

But----we somehow need to pretend that we are God, either through choice or through election

and so we choose to Perceive---

We perceive our Self and our other-self.

Yes, our other-self, for this is what we create that we may form our Perception

into what we need it to be.

---that we may Witness our Perceived Observation as we need to be Witnessed.

---that we may Perceive Validation that we can justify our existence as Becoming

Entity and Infinite.

"Denying Other, that we may create other".
Even as we deny Other, we create other.
Consciousness denies the Singular Other of Reality and realizes it has doomed itself,
as without Other, Self cannot exist.
Self dies without Other to Observe Self as Self.
-----to Witness Self as Self providing Identity to Self as Self.
----to Validate Self as Self thereby providing to Self, Entity that brings about
Infiniteness.
Self thereby can exist within Reality in full knowledge of undivided Self,
that cannot divide itself down into extinction.
This Self can Know Other through Observation and Witness as
Singularity of Reality thereby Validating Other as the Entity of Reality and the
Infinite presence of Reality.

"We create other"
In Reality, when Other is removed, only Self exists.
The removal of Other removes Reality from Self so that Self is present only to Self in a
non-existing reality.
This is probably easier to understand within our technical world that at any other
time in history.
We live in a world of images.
Most people never emerge from this non/Real existence.
We have no idea of Reality
and so we create.
We create our Reality through dreams of symbolism and ritual.
But what provides the images of our dreams?
We dream what we desire.
We dream what we fear.
We image what we desire.
We image what we fear.
Can we dream if our reality is within Self?
How can we dream from a total Self existence?
Can Self desire Self?
Would not knowledge of Self within Self be totally stiffled within Self?
Do dreams not inspire desire from outside of Self?
There must be an 'outside' of Self to create longing for something beyond Self,
for desire must be for the seemingly unattainable, seemimgly nonapprehendable,
seemingly unimaginable, vagueness, beyondness, unlimitedness, nondescribableness,
existence.

Even though, Self removes Reality, Self constantly remembers Reality, through what
Self itself lacks withiut the presence of Other.
Self wanders about, broken and dissatisfied locked within the confines of itself.
Self wanders about, broken, and dissatisfied within the confines of itself in its
creation of a pseudo-reality,
a reality of images of what its desires from remembrance of what it denied.
What it denied was an escape from itself within itself.
For this is exactly what happened and what happens and determines who we are.
We have Choice and Choice allows us to escape from within ourself.
Locked in Self, Self seeks Self to become the Self of Self and the Self of other.
The Self of other is Self, no matter how one sees it.

No amount of denial can convince Self that it has divided itself.
Self has divided itself to image the Self and Other of Reality.
Self inflicts great injury to Self as Self rips itself into parts and pieces.
Self ruptures Self.
Self creates suffering and death for itself.
Self constanly struggles to escape the pain it inflicts on itself.
We know this struggle as the struggle to survival----'Survival of the Fittest'.
One part of Self must compete with the other part of self to survive.
One part of Self needs food to survive.
The other part becomes the food.
This calls for superiority over inferiority.
It calls for dominance over vulnerability.
It calls for power over weakness.
It calls for master over slave.
It calls for masculine over feminine.
This is who we have Chosen to become.
This is who we are.
