THE WHITE TIGER: FORGETTING AND REMEMBERING
The Only Way Out
“We are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom.” - E. O. Wilson
The Hard Problem
Dr. Wilson was iterating the fact that we live in a world that celebrates and embraces knowledge and has abandoned wisdom. Beginning with Francis Bacon and the scientific method, we moved into a mindset that nothing is true unless it is proven. This approach has further, and even fully, perpetuated the Conditioned Belief that all answers lie outside of the Self. It negates any answers that come from within as invalid, and these answers are dismissed. Wisdom is discredited and deemed unimportant.
Science has its place, however it is useless when applied to the Human Psyche. In spite of countless dollars spent on empirical research, countless hours spent in scientific study - no one can find the Mind, no one can find that elusive thing called Life/Consciousness. In spite of all effort, The Mind slips the knot of empirical evidence every time.
Science has a pet name for this difficulty. It is called “The hard problem of Consciousness.”
It is like the wind - you cannot actually see it - you can only see what it does. You cannot find its beginning or its end, only the experience of its passing.
Forgetting
We are so enamored with our cortex. We are just head over heels in love with it. We think-because we do love thinking so much - that Life happens at the level of the cortex. The cortex is a computer - Life happens at the level of the subconscious and the unconscious - Life happens at the level of THE MIND. This is the incongruity that humanity has not been able to rectify. From Francis Bacon forward we have given our cortex much greater credit than it deserves. The cortex PROCESSES (input data coming from uploaded and downloaded software and hardware) - So there must be a hard drive - there is - it is your mind - THE MIND - the aspect that is Consciousness - the utterly tangible intangible.
It is time to begin forgetting all that we have been taught by society, government, materialism, commercialism, academia, yes even premises of religion, to hold so precious and so dear.
There is no value to be found in possessions, bank accounts, Conditioned Belief systems, and relentless theories.
We have more data than we know what to do with and Humanity - the Human Psyche - has never been in worse condition.
Remembering
Before there was organized religion and organized civilization, there were wisdom keepers. The wisdom keepers went by many names. They accumulated knowledge and vetted it through experience. This is the equation for Wisdom.
They were in tune with nature and read her signs. They were students of the Human Psyche and understood how to navigate its mazes. Their wisdom and understanding ran deeply. Their counsel was sought after and assimilated.
We throw our wisdom keepers aside, like the so many bits of crumpled up paper surrounding the many drafts of an academic research paper.
The Human Psyche is in dire straits. There is no scientific theorem for this problem. It is time to return to that which is known, not by proof, but by understanding - gained through life experience and observation of the workings of the Human Psyche.
Understanding and utilizing Vertical Time is such an assimilation of this kind of deep Wisdom. (Vertical Time 1.0, Vertical Time 2.0, Vertical Time 3.0)
Your cortex will not save you from anything, as it pertains to the Human Psyche.
The reality, the realness, the utterly tangible intangibility of our Life Force, holds the key to complete and total Psychological Freedom.
It is time for remembering the ways of old, long ago cast away and forgotten. It is time to remember that the only way out - is to go WithIN.
If you are able to grasp this understanding - you will be one of the few able to move to a level of life experience that you never dreamed was possible, some would even say - magic.
