Self-Empowerment Tip #08:
“Primacy of Consciousness is BS.
Realizing that others exist, and have the right to behave on their own accord, is a great step in understanding our consciousness, rather than pretending that others are a reflection of ourselves.
Primacy of Consciousness dictates the most egoistic thing we can imagine:
That the world and everything in it is a reflection of ourselves, and that we’re the masters of control – God; rather than realizing that we are of the world, and we are part of ?God’s? creation.
Understanding that psychopaths do psychopathic things isn’t bad, it’s recognizing that people are not figments of our imagination, and that they have the right to exist, as well as behave on their own accord.
Recognizing lies and poor behavior is good judgment, and protects us and our loved ones from harm. It’s certainly not a bad “emotional state” to be critical minded and aware.
We need to be aware and judge all things through knowledge, understanding and wisdom: who, what, where, when, then why, then how – in that order. It’s how we know all things in the universe.
Our senses are not a detriment, nor are they holding us back as some limiting ?Door of Perception?. They are our gift to knowing and understanding the reality in which we live, if we only just accept that reality exists, as do all those in it.
Believing that everything is a reflection of our self denies everyone else the right to exist. It’s the most egoistic thing we can put on others, while at the same time believing our egos are in control and everyone else’s are out of control. It’s projection of the worst kind.
Realizing that we are of the world, rather than the world being of us, also frees us of taking on all the world’s problems as our own guilt and blame, and not being “good enough” – and allows the world, and everyone in it, to exist, and behave on their own, and then we can begin to see the world and reality for what it is – not a projection of us, but a reality we live in and rely on our senses for good judgement to keep us and our loved ones from harm.
Trust yourself. Trust your 5 senses.
Who does it benefit to not look at facts and judge them critically with our own five senses and minds? Does it benefit you? Really?! Or does it benefit those who wish to harm you, to take advantage of you, and to get you to believe in harmful ideas, such as that rational, logical thinking, and using your brain and judgment, are somehow “bad ideas” limiting your ?spirituality??Thinking only with our emotions and ignoring facts is a very, very dangerous idea.
Be careful of blindly following the left-hand path.
Ignorance does not make us bliss. It puts us in harm’s way.”
