Reality 101

reality

 

I exist to be manifested in all things.
I am indisputable.
I belong to the Past, Present and the Future.
…I am Reality. (Sifu Saleem)

Ideas, attitudes and perception all have a role in our assumption of reality. One of the most misconstrued states is the state of reality. A mountain of inherited myths adds to the clouded perception of what reality is. Over a period of time, one begins to reflect their external environment far beyond their internal understanding of reality. Reality requires knowing, … knowing requires experience, and experience requires reason. In order to have understanding, you must be able to place a “thing” into a category. To have knowing, you must have experience with that thing or knowledge of that thing. Reason is the filter which allows taking certain steps to arrive at a conclusive interpretation of reality.
Reality is birthed through ideas. When an idea is adopted, at that very second, your degree of reality has been adjusted. The adjustment could impact your entire perception and interpretation of reality. So, what is reality? …It is anything and everything that we assume to be real. In other words, reality is whatever we believe, from the monster under the bed, to having the ability to fly to the moon. Limit your dreams, ideas, and influences, and you limit your reality.
The mere thought of having, doing, or being creates a level of desire that activates a vibration that attunes us to a reality. This vibration of the desire stimulates our creative soul and arouses within us not only in the physical, but also mental, emotional and spiritual levels. It also arouses energetically in our external environment for a means to accomplish and express itself as a possible reality. Just a thought can draw the physical body into relationship with sensory information and conceptual imagery that craves to be expressed. All great accomplishments are a product of our conceptual imagery. Conceptual imagery has a direct connection to our sensory receptors, the absorption from which feeds our realities. With an idea, your physical body will respond as though it is a reality. To name a thing is to categorize that thing, which also places that thing into a certain idea/reality which eliminates or solidifies and magnifies the possible reality of the thing. This process of categorizing gives us the ability to create the reality we desire. We believe and focus on reality. Reality is ever adaptable and can be totally submissive to our expectations, understanding and needs.
Because of the potential for possible multiple realities, man will forever strive to understand or comprehend his place in reality and to reach an elevated knowledge and acceptance of the universal multi-dimensional truths and realities that are outside of the acceptance of possibilities.
Therefore, man must gradually elevate his acceptance of what is true in spiritual existence and vibrational energetic reality. Man must break out of physical perceptions and go beyond his bondage of physical containment. The mind must be elevated to the realities of Oneness and energetic unity that permeates the entire Universe in pure consciousness.
Reality is a complex, yet simplistic network that overlaps in layers the thought process of an individual based on his acceptance and interpretation of his experiences. The duality of self is one reality that man must explore. Such things as social realities or physical, or functional realities impact our social consciousness nudging us on the path of growth and development through a perceived interaction of mental, physical and emotional stimulation of our interpretation of life’s experiences. Life experiences are waning and waxing. In this sea of conscious/unconscious state of metamorphosis, the battle for reality is fought mainly by the conscious mind. This is sometimes called the logical mind. Reason must find its intellectual equilibrium in order for reality to manifest and be used to estimate the relative weight of importance of the stimulus.
The conscious mind is alert and interactively discerning in all the thought processes which give birth to our comprehensive actions. You can decide if you want to focus your attention on an action or not. However, keep in mind that all outside activity that is witnessed has a subliminal impact on your inside activity (mind) to the degree of your understanding. This means all things you witness will shape or reshape your reality, truths, and perceptions, to assist you in finding balance in your mind’s comprehensive digestion of reality. Some believe that reality, truth, and perception are all the same, yet reality reflects an individual’s experience and acceptance. Perception is an individual’s viewpoint, which is supported by clear vision, knowledge of the subject, and belief in the subject. Perception can exist without it being based in reality. Reality can exist without the understanding of truth. Truth is.

Becoming a Disciple of Truth

Pure Truth, like the sought after Philosopher’s Stone said to be the elixir of life, is at that essential core where enlightened seekers find great treasures disguised in pure simplicity.

The martial artist who lives in worldly illusions lives in confusion. Illusions are based on a mental state of falsehoods, leaving a person in a state of mental deception of which they are unaware and in total acceptance of their mental state. The pinnacle of a martial artist’s growth is searching for self truth which will govern his entire existence. This self truth is a living essence that can grow or shrink, depending on deeds, growing with goodness, or shrinking with unkind actions. This self truth is an internal compass that can guide one through all life’s obstacles. A martial artist must learn how to protect this essence. There are invisible subliminal experiences that radiate our psyche polluting and corrupting truth. This influences our perception, and acceptance, and actions based on what we believe is truth. Truth causes man to stand for a principal even if he disagrees with it.

Man’s truth lies within himself. As he believes, so shall he be. Man’s truth is seen in his creative expressions, and his usage of his freewill, which can be used to search, learn and express the truth or the untruth. Before one can perceive pure truth, it is mandatory that one be in a state of Oneness with all things. Your mind must operate in the now because the now is where your truth exists. To spend time dwelling on the past, or focusing on the future is idle daydreaming. In the now, you begin to nourish the truth. You begin to speak the truth. And you begin to live the truth. Sooner or later, you will begin to transmute all distractions that are intended to keep you from the truth. The truth is pure in its original essence. Time can corrupt truth and pollute it with opinions of the many, turning the clean flowing truth into gossip, myths, and deceptions, that become a tool to dissuade those who seek truth. On his path of martial development, truth must be at the core of the martial artist, and become his compass to gauge and track his growth. Know thyself should be the motto of the martial artist as he sets his sights on goals that must be wrapped in truth within himself and without. Truthfulness allows the martial artist to see himself as he is, and understand that his weaknesses will be his strengths tomorrow. He also understands that his strengths are to be used to elevate his desires. The pathway to truthfulness lies in the void, and the void lies within. The three harmonies of mind, body and spirit, and a path of meditation is the one to follow. The truth will always reflect the moral strength of a person and as such, the truth will manifest itself as man grows into his higher self. Truth is not a belief that man has to create. Truth is eternal. Truth is.

I am an antennae for Truth, reaching out for information to nourish my soul and elevate my spirit. ………Sifu Saleem

At a glance, the vast ocean of emptiness that embodies the Universe appears to be without the functional intention of design.  However, there are systematic chemical fusions and mathematical intelligence found in elements and their atoms, that reflect grace, beauty and purpose.  Through  independent unifications of simplistic conceptualizations, this distinctive creativity permeates all matter, allowing the elements to fuse and create new compositions throughout the Universe.  The substance that gives birth (through The “Big Bang”) to this intelligent design expresses itself within a creative theory of Oneness of Everything.  This Oneness operates in a state of supreme conscious awareness that functions on independent layers through a conscious intelligence.  The Universe is designed to fulfill all needs of existence.  The Intelligent Designer of Universal Truths responds in action/reaction to necessities of life.

The smallest particles of matter in the Universe are atoms.  All elements are made up of atoms, and created in the Universe.  Elements are vital for human existence.  Atoms have protons and neutrons that bond through strong electrical interaction within the nucleus.  Electrons, holding an opposing charge, orbit the nucleus, without bonding directly to it.  Atoms are the building blocks of matter/mass. Energy and mass fill the Universe.  The total energy contained in an object is identified by its mass.  Energy, like mass, cannot be created or destroyed.  Cells are made of molecules and molecules are made of atoms of different elements, such as hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and calcium, to name a few.

Oxygen is the source and supporter of all life.  Without oxygen, life would cease to exist.  By combining oxygen with hydrogen, water is created which is a vital source of life sustenance.  Nitrogen is a constituent element of amino acids, proteins, and nucleic acid, DNA/RNA.  It resides in the chemical structure of neurotransmitters.  Our bodies depend on Calcium, with 99% in bones, and teeth, while soft tissues hold a lesser degree of it. It is vital for human existence since it provides structural support.  Carbon is the building block of the body.  It has the greatest capacity to bond non-metallic elements.  Thereby, it traps vital minerals in our bodies.  There are many billions of carbon atoms that make up life, and the human body is made up of them and is constantly depending and interacting with many more of them.  They are important to hold material and non-material substance in its essential forms.  Without atoms, there can be no structure.

We breathe atoms.  We consume atoms in our food.  We drink them in liquids.  We are able to see when atoms and photons within the eye meet.  A touch is created when atoms in the skin repel other atoms/objects.  We are a collection of atoms, the Universe is a collection of the same atoms.  We were born in the creativity of The Intelligent Designer’s heart, in the loving mist of organic consciousness and blessed with unlimited resources and opportunities.  We are made of star stuff, and we are of the stars.
