adjacency - between - key insight - quote - localization enables (infinite or universal consciousness) to perceive itself - Rupert Spira - discerning single voice at a busy party metaphor - existential isolation - adjacency relationship - quote - localization enables (infinite or universal consciousness) to perceive itself - Rupert Spira - This localization process enables (infinite) consciousness to perceive itself as the universe because - infinite consciousness cannot perceive its own activity directly - because if infinite consciousness were to perceive the universe directly - it would have to do so from every single point of view in the universe - It would be the deepest, darkest black image you could imagine - So in order to perceive an object - (infinite) consciousness must localize itself as an apparently separate subject so - the apparent localization of our self or - the dissociation of ourselves - as finite minds out of infinite consciousness enables - perception and - thought

• There is a metaphor that applies here:
  • At a busy dinner party, many people are talking at the same time
  • As the number of people approach infinite, the signal becomes more difficult to detect
  • In the same manner, as the activities of the universe are seemingly unbounded, how could infinite consciousness possibly observe its own infinite entirety?
  • Existential isolation is deemed depressing because it makes us feel intrinsically separated and disconnected from others, yet
    • it may be very necessary
  • Can you imagine hearing and understanding the voices of every human being, much less every living being?
  • An individual human does not have the capacity to process all that information
  • In the same manner, the body of every living organism is fine tuned for only one specific set of unwelts
  • How would we process the unbound amounts of information if we had an infinite number of different detectors?

for - quote - how things appear - quote - Nic Higham - key insight - duality

• Because of our narrowed, distorted focus,
  • we’ve become apparently disconnected from our essential Aliveness, which is universal.
• We are so accustomed to perceiving a dualistic paradigm;
  • there’s “me” and
  • a world of “others”
  • existing in an infinite and vastly unknown universe of disparate objects.

comment - Nic summarizes the dualistic perspective succinctly

for - quote - imagined duality - unpack - imagined duality

quote - imagined duality - author - Nic Higham

• On a deeper level,
• it’s imagined duality which creates all manner of separateness
  • from the kind I call “dualistic isolation,”
    • the sense that you’re identified with and alone in your body and your mind,
  • to “existential loneliness,”
    • a persistent sense of incompleteness that no amount of social or material connection can resolve.

unpack - imagined duality and existential isolation - Alone in your body and mind - in my younger days, I had a metaphor for this - Life is a movie theatre for one, yourself - Only you have access to this movie theatre - Nobody else is there to experience the totality of your experiences, except you. - You are the sole inhabitan of your YOUniverse -

adjacency - between - existential isolation - desire and fear - adjacency statement -Desire of the other emerges from a sense of lack in the totality of reality - fear of the other emerges from a sense of avoidance of aspects of reality - Biologically , we have an innate desire and fear instinct - We desire to that which helps us survive - We fear that which threatens our survival - The psychological construction of the self takes cues from this biological attraction and aversion - the self-consciousness of the biological self as individual that is a separate entity from the environment - It is interesting to ponder how we could reconcile this difference

for - insight - existential isolation - quote - existential isolation

• Because we’re unable to
  • experience life genuinely, or
  • relate authentically to our own nature and to others,
• we often suffer from a “dread of nothingness.”
• Loneliness, Moustakas says,
  • is part and parcel of being, of existing, which,
  • if embraced, can lead us to “
    • deeper perception,
    • greater Awareness and sensitivity, and
    • insights into one’s own being”.

existential isolation - evocative description - See David Loy's description of the same thing as the fear of our own inherent emptiness

quote - existential isolation - Nic Higham

• .But this other kind of anxiety was more like
  • a quiet, unintelligible terror,
  • a distant alarm bell,
  • an uncaused danger.
• It seemed more real and fundamental than any passing concern.
• Apparently arising from my innermost core,
  • existential anxiety was a lurking, menacing mythical figure.
• It hid in the shadows of my very Being,
  • coming at me from
    • everywhere and
    • nowhere.
• It wasn’t an entity but an inescapable mood
  • that cunningly evaded -reason and
    • remedy.
• It was
  • a constant undercurrent,
  • an impending nothingness and hollowness,
  • a strange intimacy with an enticing void,
• the cost of having a thumping heart and a free spirit.

source - my wife's WU post on isolation during COVID

don't want: isolation

• Third great separation

  • industrial agricultural revolution

    • Farming was a community affair, by necessity.
    • Nearly everyone in the United States lived on a farm, had lived on a farm, or knew someone who lived on a farm.
    • There was still a sense of connectedness to the land, the earth, through food and farming.
    • But ​“times changed” in rural America.

    • The industrialization of agriculture removed the necessity for community-based farming.

    • Farmers eventually lost their sense of connectedness to

      • their land,
      • to each other and
      • to their communities.
    • Consumers no longer know
      • who produces their food,
      • where it was produced, or
      • how it was produced.
    • What happens to food between the earth and the eater has become largely a mystery.
    • Food for family gatherings and religious holidays are of economic importance to the food industry,
      • but have little social or spiritual significance beyond following cultural traditions.
    • The dependence of humanity on the Earth for food is no less than during the early times of hunting and gathering,
      • but the sense of connectedness between the eater and the Earth has been lost.

• quote

  • Farming was a community affair, by necessity
  • What happens to food between the earth and the eater has become largely a mystery.
