Post #242 "The Disappearance of the 'Other'"

 Identity is determined by the Observed and the Observer.

Identity is also determined by the Perceived and the Perceiver.
 Identity through Observation is Identity in and by Reality.

Identity through Perception is Identity in and by Creation.

In Reality, the Identity of Self is determined through the Awareness of the Singular

'Other' of Reality.

The 'Other' of Reality Observes, Witnesses, and Validates Self as Self.
The 'Other' of Reality Identifies Self for Self.
Through  'Other', Self Knows Self as Self Is.

In Creation, the Identity of Self, is and has been determined through the Awareness of the
Self as it dreams it-Self to Become.
The Self of Consciousness Identifies Self for it-Self.
Through Self, Consciousness Knows it-Self as it dreams it will Become. 

In other words, in Creation, Self determines its own Identity through the process

of Division; Self Dividing Self to attain Identity through a fake, a Contrived, 'Otherness'.

Self Creates its own 'Other' out of it-Self.
Self Dreams its 'Other' Self to Become the 'Other' of Reality.
Self instigates the transference of the Essence of the 'Other'; of Reality in exchange for
its own Essence of Image.
The Self of Consciousness desires to exchange its Essence of non-reality for the Essence of
the Infinite Entity of Reality.
Self instigates the transference of Essence between Reality and Creation/Non-reality.
Obviously the transference has not taken place,
nor will it take place.
Religion and Science, both created to bring infinite life have, instead, caused suffering,
pain, abuse, and death.

Is it not becoming obvious why we are what we are and why we do what we do?

Self Creates its own 'Other' out of it-Self to provide, by and through Creation, its own Identity.

This is the reason that we, as humanity of the 21st century, struggle with Identity.
So how does this dream, this desire to Become a Created Perfection that imitated the
Infinite Entity of the Singular 'Other' of Reality, make humanity, make us, Feel?
Is this Choice to depart Reality, for the resulting image of our Perception, not leave us with
a pervasive and threatening sense of Fear?
Is this Fear a determinate in Who we are?
Is his Fear a determinate in What we do?
Is this Fear a determinate in What we have Become?
No matter how hard we have struggled to overcome our Fear at What we have Become, we have not
accomplished our Dream, our desire, our Choice.
We thought----'if only we had civilization---- king, ruler, law-maker, we could overcome our brokenness, our finiteness'.
'If only we had God--- if we worshipped, if we bargained, if we tithed.
If only we could Think our way out of our Choice----if we could invent, and control,
amaze with our logic and inventiveness------then-----'.

We hear talk of Identity Crisis.

We do not know who we are.

Because we do not know who we are, we do not know our purpose

 We frantically scramble about, pushing the pace of Time to ever increasing speeds,

that only hasten the end.

 

What happens to Self when 'Other' of Reality is denied and Self mutilates Self seeking

to replace 'Other' within One's-Self?
What happens when Self strives for Perfection competing for Godship? 

What happens when Self attempts to imitate Reality through its Creation?
What happens when Self Divides it-Self down to 'Nothingness',----
when a part of Self remains Self and the 'Other' becomes the 'Other of Self?
Basically, Self turns on Self.
There is not, nor can there be peace, within such a set-up.
This is First Cause.
We are looking at First Cause of who we are!
At First Cause, we became what we are-----people of Division.
The Choice is and was made-----we Chose to Divide.
We Chose to Divide our-Self and our-Selves.
We chose our destruction when we Chose to Compete with the 'Other' of Reality.
Then we substituted our-Selves for the 'Other' that we would Become the 'Other'
through Division.
We competed with the 'Other' of Reality!
We Competed, because in our Division we realized that our dream was not Real.

The fact is, Competition is Division, and we humans live for Competition.
We continually challenge other parts of our-Self. our Other-Self to prove who is the best part,
and then we eliminate the 'Other'---by 'proving' the 'Other' inferior!!!!
We diminish what we our-Selves are.
We prove our supremacy by proving our inferiority.
So what we consider 'Other' becomes what we must eliminate
and so eliminate another part of our-Self.

This is who we are and this is what we do.
Very frankly, We Cannot Stand Ourselves!
We slice of parts and pieces, we deny 'others', we abuse and torture 'others' we eliminate
'others' in all possible ways.
We hate the Other.
We always have.
Actually, we hate our-Self.

So how does this all make us Feel-----about our-Self, about our 'Other-Selves?
It's all a matter of survival.
How many parts of our-Self can survive without feeling threatened by our need
for survival?
It will have to come down to only one part.
Competition leaves only One.
And that One will be God over all that God created.
History shows this to be true.
Its all about betrayal and Power.
The irony is that we all yearn for Perfection.
We all yearn to Become God.
We seek Perfection that we can prove our-Self worthy to be the one powerful
enough to eliminate all Competition and be the One remaining---
the Winner!
