We have before us a picture painted by our five senses, one which we know asour reality or my world. We perceive lots of things in this picture, but is it accurate? Is it really what is going on outside of me?
It rarely occurs to any of us that this picture we see just might be wrong. Why? Because we really have no idea what is happening outside of us. We only know our own interpretation based on the information we take into our senses.
We actually live in a massive reality, but we sense just a tiny part. How do we know this is a fact? Lets take a look at how our reality is made. If we consider our eye and how it works, we find that light does not actually enter our head:
Light enters the eyeball until it meets the retina, which is basically a transference device.
Light strikes the retina, but does not pass through it. Instead, the retina blocks the light and transfers information about the qualities of the light through our optic nerve to our brain.
Our brain then paints a picture inside our head, its own interpretation of what is outside of us.
Our Limited Perception Ability
The problem here is that the information transferred is very limited. Why? The retina is only sensitive to a tiny spectrum of light called the visual spectrum. If it was sensitive to the full spectrum of light (which we call radiation) we would be able to see x-rays, ultraviolet, infrared, microwave, and we would even see sound waves.
What is out there?
So what is really out there? Our other senses work the same. Our entire problem is thatwe lackequivalence of form with wider ranges of information that remain outside of us. Nor do we know even if that tiny part we do perceive is accurate. Actually we know it is not, otherwise we would see peoples skeletons and hear dog whistles.
But even the picture that we do receive is inaccurate because it is filtered information. What is it filtering through? It filters through me, my sense of Imy ego. And my actual perception of my world depends on the properties of my ego.
I am nothing but a will to receive pleasure
We are made in a very special waywhere the properties of our ego are based on one overall characteristic, the will to receive. In other words, in every circumstance I perceive, I base whether or not it is good or bad on whether or not I receive pleasure from this circumstance. This propertythe will to receivecontrols everything about us, and it comes in two forms.
1. I receivein order to receive pleasure; and
2. I give in order to receive pleasure.
Giving in order to receive pleasure is more complicated because I feel as though I am giving even though I am still receiving. We see examples of this in philanthropy of all kinds, or a mother taking care of her children. The will to receive greatly distorts the accuracy of this picture called my world and hides the remainder of reality from us.
The end result of this filter is thatmy picture is totally inaccurateand I really have no idea of what is happening outside of me. I only know what my senses tell me and how I feel about it.
Why can't I see outside myself?
Why don't I see what is outside of me accurately? What we know is that if I do not have an equivalence of form with information striking my retina or eardrum, then I do not sense that information. This also applies to my nature as well, the will to receive.
What actually exists outside of me has a single overall property, just like I do. But that property is the exact opposite of mine: it is the will to bestow . Since my overall property is the exact opposite of the property that exists outside of me, I have absolutely no way of accurately sensing what is really out there. Or do I?
If I can place a transference device, like the eardrum or retina, over my will to receive, where this transference device has the same properties as what is outside of me, and then I will be able to perceive what is out there.
Intention: the device for perceiving a whole new reality
That transference device is called an intention. But an intention for what? It is an intention to give, to bestow to bring my qualities into equivalence with what is outside of me. This is something totally foreign to me from birth. And when I am able to place this transference device over my will to receive, a whole new reality opens up. Sensing what is outside of me is called sensing spirituality.
What is that like? If we consider all the pleasures we have ever experienced in our entire lives as one tiny grain of sand, it is said that one single moment of sensing the spiritual is akin to the entire beach of pleasure. But how does one develop this sense? The process of development of this spiritual sensing organ is simply referred to as, Kabbalah.
