Acquiring an unlimited, objective perception of reality

Question from the Internet:

“In today’s fast-moving world, we are always under pressure to act now, rather than spend time reasoning things through and thinking about the true facts. Why is this so?”

We are inherently selfish, egocentric, subjective creatures. We constantly, instinctively make calculations for self-benefit only, working out how to distance ourselves from actual or expected pain, while getting closer to ever greater pleasures.

This also sets up our Newtonian “Universe” with its coordinates of time, space, and physical motion in relation to the egocentric, subjective pain and pleasure calculations that define our existence.

So, while the world around us is changing constantly, and we find ourselves in this frantic “Matrix” of billions of people who are also making their own egocentric, subjective “pain/pleasure” calculations we do not have any chance of properly evaluating, assessing where we are, who we are, what the cause and effect processes that define our states are.

If we want to gain the ability to spend time “reasoning, think through” what and why we do, how to react to the constant changes around us, we would need to acquire a completely new, totally selfless, collective consciousness, perception of reality.

We need to exit, separate ourselves from the inherently subjective, egocentric consciousness, viewpoint of reality we are born with, and start perceiving, attaining everything through the desires, viewpoints, thoughts of others we disappear into.

Even if a small number of mutually committed, mutually supporting, mutually complementing people achieves this unique collective consciousness, they acquire the ability to see, understand the system of reality we exist in, they can start seeing, feeling all the cause and effect processes and develop the right attitude, responsive to them.

No individual can overcome our inherently subjective, egocentric limitations. But together, through this special, selfless, collective, objective consciousness and perception we can enter the true, absolute, unlimited dimension of existence, perception of reality.
