Always a step ahead, against the “wind of the ego.”
Inherently, we are all locked into our 100% egocentric, individualistic, and subjective life experiences. Our perception of reality is restricted to completely personal “pleasure/pain” calculations, taking us closer to ever-increasing selfish pleasures while distancing us from personal suffering.
We can’t sense or experience from “outside reality” anything that is not related to these 100% egocentric and subjective “pleasure/pain” calculations.
Even the sensation of the limiting coordinates of time, space, and motion relates only to these selfish and subjective calculations.
Thus, we exist in an illusory reality that revolves around our subjective and individualistic observer and receiver, and we believe and sense that the whole reality with everybody and everything in it exists only to serve us.
This is how we are born, and since we all have the same limited and distorted perception, we all agree that this subjective, self-serving, and self-justifying lifestyle and perception — where we are all direct competitors and enemies in the endless pursuit of self-fulfillment and self-protection — is real.
In truth, we all live in an artificial and false “Matrix” that we build and sustain through our original life experiences and perceptions of reality.
It is also similar to the perception Plato describes in his “Cave Allegory.”
We exist in an unreal and terribly limited “world” where we do not know who we are, where we are, and what our actual Human purpose is.
Even today, when more and more people have started to feel that this lifestyle, which is only for our own sake and which lifestyle is self-destructive and meaningless like the life of cancer, we have no idea how to live any differently.
We have no idea, let alone opportunities and a practical method to escape this self-sustained “Matrix.”
Unique, empirical natural scientists, who have been studying human nature and reality’s actual, unlimited system for millennia, explain that outside of our inherently limited and distorted subjective and individualistic bubbles exists a perfect, totally unlimited, and eternal reality.
They also claim, based on their own practical experience, that we can all enjoy, feel, and attain that perfect and unlimited sense of existence.
However, in order to achieve this, we need to learn and practice how to escape and exit our inherent bubbles, like those who opted to leave “Plato’s Cave.”
This self-liberation requires a special method in a unique human environment.
In order to escape our own thoughts, desires, calculations, and inward perception, we need to escape somewhere.
Inherently and instinctively, we “love” only ourselves. This means that our main and only priority is to sense and fulfill our own desires and needs above all.
In order to escape our original restrictive bubble, we have to develop “true love” towards others when the desires and needs of others and their fulfillment become at least as important as sensing and fulfilling our own.
This does not mean our relationship with our “loved ones,” who we consider attached and belonging to ourselves, is inherently due to all kinds of selfish and egocentric ties.
This means developing “true love” towards people with whom we do not have inherent or hormonal connections.
This is why we need a special environment of like-minded people who all commit and aim at achieving such “true love” — sensing and appreciating the desires, needs, and viewpoints of others in order to fulfill them as those others want it — so through that “true love,” they could escape their inherently selfish, egocentric and individualistic bubbles to sense and attain “reality as it is,” without any subjective, self-serving and self-justifying bias.
These mutually committed and mutually supportive “aliens” — without any inherent, hormonal, or forced ties or connection, without any selfish interest in each other — want to create such a unique, never-before existing “virtual” space between them, where they can merge and cooperate without the disturbance and interference of their inherent natures.
This is a unique and gradual process.
The more these people enter this development together, the more they desire to escape the constant and overwhelming governance of their egos over everything they ever think and do; the more they start to sense the increasing and desperate resistance of their egos.
Most people are totally unaware that their egos are controlling them 100%. Most people are totally unaware of existing in the “Matrix” of the ego, where everything happens only for the sake of the egotistic self.
Only when we start to make committed and focused efforts — consciously and methodically together with like-minded people in a closed place where everyone supports the others — do we start to provoke and sense the ego making different and ever-intensifying and evermore clever steps and tactics to prevent us from reaching the desired self-liberation?
Only after the participants in this environment start noticing and sensing the ego’s resistance and opposition, and when they develop and stabilize a unique “independent observer” — that can already view the ego as a separate entity from their “selves” — can they start the actual process of self-liberation.
This means making absolute and maximum efforts towards seamless and perfect loving interconnection, where each aims to exist and act only for the sake of others.
As a result, the ego starts acting against these efforts, “whispering into our ears,” inciting the person against the others, and using different tactics to quench mutual aspirations and efforts.
This is why, through the mutual support, the participants have to learn and practice how to “keep their heads above the water”, how to aim at taking always a step further towards each other into their mutual interconnections beyond the ego’s reach.
This means constantly aiming to silence one’s own thoughts, desires, and calculations while trying to absorb and accept the desires, thoughts, and aspirations of others.
This is like constantly taking a deep breath, shutting one’s eyes, ears, and mouth and to whatever the ego sends and awakens internally, trying to “breathe in” and absorb only what comes from the others.
It is a constant negating of one’s own existence, as if jumping head first and with closed eyes into their mutual space, into the selfless and unprecedented vacuum the members of this environment build for each other.
This is a constant effort and a fight against one’s own ego, like fighting a strong, stormy wind that tries to push the person back, trying to constantly aim and peek beyond the opposing wind while feeling how the resistance of the ego tries to hold and pull us backward, towards its control.
This process gradually develops the ability to establish a conscious, subjective, and objective observer beyond a unique screen while “one’s body” remains behind the screen, still operated by egoistic desires. It is as if one could keep one’s head in a peaceful and calm space, being able to observe everything purely and objectively, in its complete perfection, without any egotistic, subjective, or individualistic bias, while there is raging storm and confusion fuelled by the ego around that calm and peaceful space.
By this stage, the participants of the process have a very clear understanding of how the ego works and how much the ego tries to harm their mutual efforts toward the “love of others.” At the same time, as a result of their mutual support and efforts, their collective desire for that unique “true love of others” also increases.
Thus, they also develop a very sharp sense of fear and distancing from the ego, trying to make sure that they, at least, do not cause harm to others, even if they still do not know how to actually “truly love” one another.
This fear of the ego, the commitment not to harm others, and the constantly growing yearning for “true love of others” create that special screen that can separate the conscious observer from the ego.
Only through exceptional and unceasing mutual support and aspiration can people survive and tolerate this increasingly intensifying resistance of the ego and the progress and existence against and above it.
However, even the mutual support is not enough.
Only when the unique method and mutual support awakens and draws special “external forces” from natural reality is this superhuman progress possible.
Our reality is created and operated by an all-encompassing and all-powerful force that is characterized by “true and absolute love” and “unconditional bestowal” towards others.
This is the force that operates our known physical Universe; this is the force that enlivens our physical bodies. Moreover, beyond the limited and distorted cocoon of the ego — we exist in today — only this singular and positive force exists and operates.
This force — we can also call “nature’s evolutionary force” wants us to recognize it and attain it above and against our original egos.
Thus, the moment we start making true and concerted collective efforts to develop similarity with this force — as a result of the mutual “true love” we learn and practice in the special environment — we immediately start attracting the assisting help of this singular force on us.
This is how — with the help of the unique method and the special environment — we can awaken and harness forces and abilities; otherwise, we could never achieve by ourselves.
This is how, with the help of this unique “loving and bestowing” force, we can start separating from our egos and build a conscious, independent observer who is committed to pure and absolute love and bestowal towards others.
And when we already achieved a certain “true love of others” towards the others in that environment — while they are doing the same — we build between us a common “space” that is infused with the mutual “true love” we generate.
Then, through the similarity we achieve in the “mutual space,” we start sensing, understanding, and more and more attaining this singular force.
The most important in this process is the initial decision and surrender, that we are happy and willing to totally subdue and nullify ourselves to the others in the group, since through them, indirectly, we subdue and nullify ourselves to the singular life-creating and life-nurturing force of reality.
I need to place myself in the hands of others and through them to the singular force unconditionally while totally annulling my own desires, thoughts, and calculations.
Each time new desires, wants, needs, and urges appear in me, I need to take a step beyond, to rise a bit higher, so my “mind and heart” remain clear and unblemished by those constantly awakening temptations. I constantly need to try to keep the intention that, first of all, I do not want to harm anybody or anything anymore, and then, I also want to learn how to become an active and conscious servant and bestower towards everybody and the whole system, in order to partner and justify reality’s singular life-creating and life-nurturing force.
Achieving this partnership and justification — on the merit of becoming similar to this singular “loving and bestowing” force — is our Human purpose in existence, and this is what nature’s evolution requires us to achieve.
When we pledge and commit to going through this unique conscious self-development, we will receive overwhelming and “supernatural “ — above the inherently egotistic, selfish, and exploitative human nature — assistance from reality’s single governing force since we start acting and developing according to its plan and expectation.
