The Phenomena of the Physical Planes

10/8/2010

Try this on like a coat. The experience of there being a physical plane is an illusion. It is real only to the extent that we apply the label "physical plane" to categorize a domain of illusions that we perceive and entertain. In other words, illusions are real; however, they distract us from what is true.

To illustrate, let's call this image a conglomerate - just one of infinitely existing conglomerates. The phenomena of the physical plane are illusions formed by infinitely created and configured conglomerates of perceptions layered upon perceptions. The sources of each are energy vibrations also called intentions and/or thoughts, which set off unique conglomerates ad infinitum. An example of a new conglomerate is a thought or opinion (which are both energy vibrations) about the shapes reflected on the tube. It's how thoughts become "things."

The perceptions are not limited to those "originated" by the constellations of conglomerates called human beings, animals,

birds, fish, bugs, etc. The senses, e.g., sight, taste,smell, touch and hearing are experience-able through and are products of the layered and co-mingled interpretations entertained by the integrated constellations of conglomerates and their parts. All the parts of all things, animate, inanimate, matter and non-matter are interpreting and co-creating simultaneously, including the parts of the conglomerates themselves.

Therefore, we can surmise that the content of the physical plane is an illusion, albeit real to the extent that we actually experience it. Imagine the perceiver behind the illusions is the only non-illusionary entity except for our inability to realize it. Ironically, we are illusive to ourselves - lurking in the silence behind the noise; we play with the looking glasses. So amused, submersed and distracted by what we perceive, we believe the illusions are true and forget who and what we are.

From a human-centric perspective, we are One and Love, the Co-Creators.

In another discussion, we will explore that love is merely a label that we put on certain categories of perception and experience, such that even love is an illusion.

Lovingly Namaste,

Your idea of a conglomerate reminds me of how a strange attractor creates patterns in Chaos Theory.

@Esther - Yes indeed. Furthermore, what we call "chaos" is evidence of the variable called intention - the catalyst or strange attractor of creation and manifestations. The intentions occur from the infinite worlds of perception. Each, at the center of it all, they/we are constantly adjusting per how we perceive what has become. This is how we are continually in a state of becoming. There is no end or final destination for any of it.

Since we are actually one energetic vibrational being, we operate "co-minglingly" from our higher selves. We use or play with the physical planes and from our blind-sided fleshly egos and personalities; we see "chaos" because we do not know any better. We act as if we know something with our puny selves.

Fractals are perfect examples of what happens when we can stand back far enough to understand that there is a rhyme and reason, sort to speak, perfectly and predictably. However, standing in the flesh and run by the ego and personality, we have opinions about the time and space within which the results should occur – as if time and space are real. We act like we are at the end and as if the result is unpredictable overall when we do not see what we expect. We just have not gotten there yet and cannot fathom the process. Additionally, we make up the beginnings and the ends and believe they are true, when there is no such thing. We make it all up and add the labels, “real” and “significant.” We may as well. I guess it beats a poke in the eye with a hot stick, somewhat. <3

Profound and very well said! This example of the conglomerate and your explanation of how it works illuminate what is True and when we remember what is True we are free! Thank you, Joe for bringing freedom!

To the ignorant mind, a blog such as the one I just read would cause nothing but a headache trying to comprehend the truth of the matter... Or to the type of mind that consciously chooses NOT to believe in anything that is beyond the 5 senses we all have, these types of minds forget that we all originated from One Source. Everything originated from that single source. That Source has been labeled "Singularity".

But perhaps, as I believe, that we ourselves, the spirits (the pure energy that we truly are) manifested within this creation, because we consciously chose these experiences for ourselves while using the physical form. However, we are not from this reality, dimension, universe. As I do believe in Higher Realms of Existence.

As we discussed last night, Joe, "life" is a game, and its all up to how we choose to play, or not play in it. Happiness and freedom come from within, not without. Sad though, how so many Humans become terribly distracted by a variety of means, and they believe that the illusion is so called "Reality".

As in the movie "The Matrix" we all have to reach that moment in time where we consciously choose to "unplug" ourselves from the distractions, the false sense of being, the illusion of who and what we are... because the truth is, we are all only here temporarily before moving onto the next game...

If everything in life were to be "pleasant", we'd grow stagnant. If everything in life was turmoil, we'd probably give up on ever hoping for a better day to come. There must be a healthy balance to keep us enjoying what we have to share within ourselves and with others, as well as having to have obstacles and difficulties to overcome so that we may learn, grow and evolve.

Its all about what you do with the time you have here. How you interact with others. How you choose to "evolve" into a more HumanE Being. Its all centered around individual spiritual growth and expanded awareness. After all, everything is One. We need to understand that the separation we see between all things is nothing more than purposefully created (illusionary) space between us, so that we can live our own personal experiences.

btw - (above) you mentioned Fractals. That was a perfect way to state the point. Have you ever heard of the Holographic Universe? :)

Hi Frank! I meant to respond to your comment a long time ago. Your insight and exploration are rich and communicated wonderfully, in a way that we can all relate. Thank you!

Very interesting article in which I had to read several times just to grasp its context.

This "In other words, illusions are real; however, they distract us from what is true.comment struck a deep chord within and reminds me how we even create illusions with ego and percieve what we look at as truth.
With this I refer to the fact that we always look through eyes of "something is wrong here" It really usually only is a perception that we breathe life into.

I do love metaphysiics in my limited understanding of them Keep up the good work Joe.

Joe,

Thank you for the invite. The pull to figure 'it' and ourselves out appears to come with the wiring. When I was younger I managed to view the world through an imaginary kaleidoscope. If I moved the instrument one click there was a change and on days I was open to laughter I would spin the unit to swirl my perception.

Now I spend less time in that pursuit and still the frame of reference must be adjusted daily. Whenever something doesn't work out the way I think it should or thought it would, instead of thinking that something went wrong or is wrong, I see it as something that went unexpectedly well, but for reasons that are not yet apparent.

That is almost as a much fun as a kaleidoscope or a conglomerate.

Hello Michael,

I reviewed your comment again and felt the playfulness of it where I'd missed it earlier. Your kaleidoscope reference is perfect! In my opinion, we see everything through kaleidoscopes! Thank you for sharing that!

Lovingly Namaste,

Joe

Hi, thanks for commenting on my blog! I agree with you the illusions cannot be totally denied because the illusions and the one aware of them are totally one, the illusions being the transient part of the Self and the one aware of them the Eternal Self or Absolute. I like your example of the conglomeration reminding me that we are just a conglomeration of the elements that make up our body and the subtle.

This is a note to tie in how the conglomerates might form or prevail to dwell. The conglomerates or systems of conglomerates become or show up algorithmically, with inclinations of sorts that cause their forms or shapes to gather. The forms can be things that we perceive as physical objects and/or they can be thought patterns or inclinations and/or other phenomena. One example of an inclination is the human propensity to perceive human faces in random designs or objects. This inclination contributes to cause systems or thought patterns and endeavors that are relative to that experience. It becomes a pattern that perpetuates itself or the story in which we live, sort of speak. It repeats itself algorithmically, such as does the conglomerate in the illustration. We can see the systems when we stand back far enough, Otherwise, we might misunderstand the activity to be chaotic, where there is no real chaos. Fractals are another example. http://www.enchgallery.com/fractals/fracthumbs.htm
