Perceiving reality through love.
We do not sense, experience reality “as it is”. From psychology to quantum physics we have already learned that perception of reality is an “intimate”, personal affair. It is completely egocentric, subjective.
We can see, feel the very same state, situation, watch the same movie, picture, listen to the same music, poem, relate to the very same person completely differently, according to our own mood, personal, emotional, physical state.
This is how we exist by default. And then comes love and confuses this picture even more.
For a mother — in a good case — her children are the most beautiful, perfect, the best in the whole world. She can’t see any imperfection in them and even if she sees some, she can immediately justify them, even if her son — God forbid — is a serial killer.
To another mother, the same children probably look very different. This other mother would see the children of the first mother also subjectively, but this time she would first of all notice their negative qualities, as for her it is her own children that are perfect, spotless.
When we fall in love we enter a completely supernatural, illogical state. First of all, the same person we hardly noticed or even rejected before suddenly becomes the center of our Universe. We can’t sleep, can’, rest, think, we are like a moth attracted by the light constantly moving towards the object of our love. We live according to the desires, commands, slightest movements, scent, voice of the beloved.
In both cases — mother and lover — we operate outside of our normal program according to the program of the other. We rise above our own, normal reason and behave in an illogical way, seemingly making that other more important than ourselves, fulfilling that other even at our own expense without feeling robbed, tired, without any suffering.
We are not actually completely outside of our program, completely above our own reason, and this love is still single “single dimensional”, since our own egotistic pleasure, fulfillment and providing pleasure, fulfillment to the child or to the beloved is in agreement.
By default, we can’t love another if it does not give us pleasure. Thus the love we know from our normal life does not give us extra senses, although it helps us attach another to ourselves and we get to know that other a bit deeper as long as it is beneficial for us.
In a unique, “laboratory-like” environment, through a special, purposeful method we can use “true love” — wanting to sense and fulfill the desires, needs of another according to the viewpoint of the other without any personal, selfish distortions, calculations — to acquire a completely new, truly objective, “multi-dimensional” perception of reality.
If a small group — 5 to 10 people — mutually commits to helping one another towards the above mentioned true love, in order to push each other beyond the boundaries of the inherently egocentric, subjective perception, they can reach an unprecedented boundary.
They perform all kinds of common actions, mutual discussions, exercises according to the method which increases the sense of “brotherhood” in between them like in a commando passing through absolute mutual trust, a sense of complete interdependence until they start to feel as a single unit without any difference between them as a result of their common goal that elevates them above their natural uniqueness.
Despite working against their instinctively protesting egos — after all, here we do not have the natural fuel of the usual motherly or hormonal love — through their purposeful, methodical work they can reach a threshold where reaching their mutual goal becomes the most important, prized, yearned for thing in their lives above everything else. And although the inherent ego protests, resists furiously as a result of the collective momentum they generate they make a “fateful jump”, inner decision, that it does not matter what happens, they are ready to leave everything behind to help each other towards “true love” and the new perception.
They are ready, fully committed to lift the others on their shoulders and give them anything they need so they could totally disconnect from any remaining self-concern, self-protection, egocentric calculations. As a result they — as if — dig each other out from their egotistic bubbles, self-preservation, liberating each other completely.
If this is done in true mutuality, each mutually guaranteeing the success of the others at any cost, they all “fall in love” in the literal sense of the notion. They all fall into a unique, previously unfelt space in between them which is characterized by selfless, altruistic, unconditional, mutual love and service of the others. They do not feel themselves or the others as people, separate entities any longer. They sense and exist within their connections as if entering a completely new dimension.
At the same time, they haven’t completely disconnected from their original, egocentric, subjective sense either, the original egotistic perception remains — as if — outside of this dimension, behind a screen. As a result, in this contrast they can verify that the new perception is real, it is realistic and tangible. They are like divers connected to a small, limited, physical boat with their security rope, while at the same time they are swimming in an endless, eternal ocean of love, connecting to the whole Universe through it without the usual egocentric, subjective limitations of time, space and motion.
Initially, they gain a small window, peek into this infinite ocean, but then they can start to gradually learn how to stabilize this new perception in contrast of the old, limited one, while extending the scope, resolution through applying the template they gained in their small group in increasingly greater circles, connecting more and more viewpoints, desires to them until they embrace everything.
This is something that is available to anybody who wants to acquire a second, non-physical, infinite and eternal consciousness and perception here and now by using the above-mentioned method.
