Subject-object relationship = only an appearance -RSpira July 10, 2020Rupert SpiraDr. Robin Starbuck It’s not possible to view the world directly from awareness’ perpective. Awareness Awareness needs the finite mind to know the world. It’s like It’s like being asleep at night and dreaming of something like a Caribbean beach. You don’t dream of this beach from the perspective of your finite mind wherever you are. Within the dream your mind has to simultaneously dream the Caribbean beach and dream you entering it. From this perspective your mind knows the inside of itself as the outside world. Your Your mind can’t go to the Caribbean beach directly. It has to have the dreamed character of yourself. Consciousness cannot view the world directly because consciousness is infinite and there is no Room in the infinite for the finite. If there was a little bit of the finite and the infinite the finite would displace the infinite and that would be impossible much like CS saying a speck of dust in the absolute would be tantamount to abject blindness or something like that. The big difference between our separate self dreaming and consciousness dreaming of us is that we can only have one dream at a time but consciousness can have innumerable dreams – in other words us – at 1 time. The subject object relationship are the tools with which consciousness manifests itself. We are the consciousness’ dream. The separate self is the tool for the consciousness to manifest itself within the dream. This This is so prevalent in so many myths such as Christianity’s God leaving itself and going into humanity. The price it pays is that it loses itself and SEEMS to become a temporary separate self. No there is this world that I have been cut off from my self or from my source and I long to go home. But this isn’t really true. That’s why all separate selves suffer the consideration is suffering. It’s temporary impermanent finite the suffering that says that I want to go back to who I really am. This This pain of wanting to go back is what dictates the behavior of all 7 billion of us. The difference between us here and the rest of the world is that we have failed or we have been failed so many times that we just simply want to go directly to our true selves without going through the process yet again. We We want the same thing as the rest of this 7 billion of us. We want our original self divested of all else. We We want consciousness which is another name for peace and happiness and self.
