Say you get some freedom from uncertainty, distress, compromise and conflict by contributing to society. If that is the case, then how would you similarly align, as part of a vast reality?
Consider the surface upon which you stand. What is the floor made of? Perhaps you're outside - spend a moment to be aware.
Deep below the surface, there is a gravity-center - you know that. It gives structure to all these atoms and particles - fixating a kind of structural pattern. You too are held by this energy.
The center of the earth, itself is a proxy - a structure that extends a far greater pull of gravity. The sun, the local star - keeping the Earth in a fixed trajectory, the planet that orbits the gravity-center. Yet the same mass of energy contributes to the mass-field of the entire solar-system. It is a bit like how mountains are part of creating the pressure at the center of the earth, or how diving deeper underwater is accompanied by an intensifying pressure. It is in this sense, as you may stand on a mountain-top, that you also are standing atop a surface-layer of a star-system.
The structure upon which you balance, is literally held in place by this pull of gravity.
The host-environment for the solar system, the galaxy itself, too is a vast amount of mass. You can guess what follows: At the core, there is a gravity-center; the black hole. Extending out of this center is a vast field, a gravity-pull that keeps the stars locked in a firm trajectory. This fixating force pulls through the local star, through the earth - it keeps you steady on a surface of particles. Matter; structured energy, held in place by the very field it is part of creating, contributing mass.
Vastness
Following that guideline, the pattern, and extend further "inwards", at some point there is "the big bang". This immense source of radiation, considered to be the origin-point of the material universe. Meeting here the general limits of mainstream science, it could be considered to be an expansive center-point - perhaps like a bud on a tree. A tiny growth, on a vast metaphorical tree of the worlds - the tree of life spoken of across myths. It may just be that the ancestors whom spoke of that was on to something: The planets do extend like tiny gravity-branches out of the main-branch that is the spiral arm of the galaxy - of which there is more than one. The structure in itself like a stem, rooted in the very matter it gives structure to, alongside the structured energy that the galaxy itself may be like a leaf.
In essence, a greater metaphysical container, said to host a variety of spaces; heavenly, underworldly - environments upheld, perhaps similar to ghettos or "the rich part of town", avoiding failing to superficiality. The stories of old contain a hint, of the vast structure being one amongst a forest thereof.
Of course, that is if these are to be believed.
Theories yet to be validated. Yet what is knowing?
The world is vast beyond the world perceived; there is something more, but it is invisible within the blinding veil - let me lift it for you for a moment.
Current normative approaches to validating information, data, rests on axioms (see mathematics). In programming-jargon, this presents an immense security-bug, when it is attempted differed to belief. The dominant collective decision-making that determines the public belief as to what is real and false, is entirely dependent on peer-reviewing. The peer-reviewing format assumes, possibly amongst other things, the following beliefs to be true: That the world itself is real, that other people are real and that the senses generally provide a real "map" of what is. I.e. what is based on it, rests on these beliefs, in being validated as "the case"; and this is considered to be the sensible, agreeable or logical approach to determining the value of information - oft used to deny, refute and suppress contradiction to the maintained/invested-in narrative.
In itself the model is not new; schools of the past based data-verification on chosen beliefs. I.e. instead of simply assuming the world to be as it seems, these would, possibly carefully, select what axioms to expand out of - and rely on as a determinant for whether to accept or reject data. The security-issue is in the deficient awareness - preyed upon as a dominant perceptual structure is imposed on lives, brought up like components determined by the structural validation of what they can assume as real/false - shaping an illusion of data-integrity free from belief.
One does not need look far to find claims like "evidence-based", used to shoot down what contradicts interests. But the claim of "evidence-based" is deceitful, it is a logical fallacy - as it is "evidence" based on non-evidence. A "proof-based foundation" without a foundation, claims without substance: Exemplified by a claim that "the sky is green" based on the evidence that "the birds color contrasts it" neglecting the reality of the bird, the contrasting and why that would prove the sky to be green to begin with. Might as well be saying "it is true, because I want you to think so, and those people agree with me, therefore you must subject to what I want you to perceive as real". Note the evidence-based nature of this statement. Of course this harms a lot of people every day, as does production-chains of some farm-tools - ones used in producing vegetables, eaten by encattled beings. Luckily, simply being aware of it, naturally reduces personal involvement by lowering the likelihood of being pulled into harmful narrating. Agency increases, and it gets easier to reduce the level of wrong incurred in whatever degree of involvement persists (read on to understand why this matters).
Thus, just for a moment, lets temporarily cancel the subscription to that perceiving. Otherwise this awareness is next-to-impossible to work with, despite the vitality as will be clear momentarily, because the structure cannot encompass the depth of awareness at this stage of its development, whether it will eventually or not. Its easy to click subscribe again anyway, and lose sight of the inconvenient reality - just hang around those doing so enough and you'll be gone after some time. In all honesty, if you are of a majority out there, you probably will - unless dedicating to a different way of life, which you can find ease in doing here. In my defense, the awareness is a necessary part of the article, lest the content is impossible to communicate - you did read along, and a lot of harm is being done every day.
Eco-system
Getting back to the topic, now the hindrance is out of the way. Getting to the interesting part:
Within this vast structure, lives exist as part of an eco-system. Within it are myriad entities; trees, insects, fish, birds, animals, reptiles, vira, bacteria, humans, AI, companies, forests etc.. Each individual entity are with its independent decision-making processes, while all, to different extents, outsource decisioning. All with requirements to exist, (oft fulfilled collaboratively). Every serving a variety of purposes, part of greater reality-layers beyond the immediate environmental containers like societies, family-systems, groups and the likes.
Channeling
In functional wording, all of these, each and every one are demand-channeling entities - a nature of which, is serving as a component within an incredibly vast structure. While this may take a variety of forms, only the individual can determine its approach, lest incidental override of greater functions, subsequently incur intense losses to the perpetrating value-creation processes.
In other words, harnessing another being - human or not - comes with a very high risk of incurring a vast loss to the same layers, that nourishment and value is gained by providing to. Even attempts at harnessing into greater functions, can override other unseen/dedicated efforts, incurring an intense loss of value-creation, of course added to the accounting-sheet as a minus - consider it it in a trade-like fashion, business-wise or as personal finances. A more immediate loss may be felt through rationalization-patterns shaping, impacting these very skills in the immediate life, although being superficial is unwise; money can be made several ways, some of which come with an unseen price-tag that may not be worth it. A simple way to mitigate risk, is by improving consumption-patterns. Even then, there are traps and potholes complicated to avoid when staggering on through life, over-encumbered.
In line with
Entities, with a kind of positionment - an alignment-state; an accumulating interconnection with everything. As though was it social connectivity, across time, space and barriers, across webs of actions leading to reactions and indirect impact, rubber-band-like threads connect every point to every other in existence. An alignment-state that secures fulfillment, avoids resource-drains forming and makes for continuation whether of decent ways, life-span, habits, avoiding incurring harm or relations.
- Like in a house; performing tasks. Being part of, oft yields improved mood.
- Within a society; an entity providing value. When within a frame, rewarded with a trusted medium for exchange - capital buying power.
- Serving as part of a nature; giving value to the efforts of living beings. Tends to invite friendliness by fellow creatures.
- Shaping fate within galaxy; responsibly living and shaping the future. Contributing/subtracting towards determining outcomes for celestial bodies within the galaxy - may settle energy easilier as predictable levels of exploitation- and sourcing-based harnessing is reduced.
- Wholesomely interconnecting as part of the universe; aligning with the greater reality-structuring that contains it. Natural movements processing energy, can be complimented by generating demand for continued providing of value at metaphysical levels - wholesome religiosity may ease processes at greater levels.
- Facilitating efforts as an extension of the tree of life; the complex web of worlds is likely a demand-channeling entity in itself. Aligning with being part of an even greater system.
- The greater metaphysical reality containing that - well, prior to when I endeavored on a spiritual journey, I did not think there to be anything outside the "scientifically agreed upon" reality
Within this vast phenomena of reality, as though was it fairy-sparks, alignment spikes like was it weather-changes - an increase of oneness with everything. Perhaps you noticed something interesting - these movements of energy unbound by time, yet flowing amidst the sub-structure of energy considered to be "reality".
So how does the individual align?
By becoming the eye in the storm. The still point in a sea of movement. You are not a speck in the system. You are the system, staring back at itself.
And when you live like that—on purpose, in presence—reality bends.
Fostering that energy of oneness, is like fuel for the soul.
The content presented, if utilized well, makes it easy to focus efforts on what really matters. Metaphorically, say a life spend hours cleaning every week, and eventually discovers, that by instead putting half the time and capacity for frustration into decluttering, less time would be spent, health improve and life be less heavy while reducing complication complicated. A simple shift in priorities.
The specifics as to how to cultivate that inherent "agreement", may vary drastically. Interconnection changes, with every passing day. A classic approach, is to rid of the excesses - simplifying life. Check out this mini-package that'll make it easier to get rid of what in the way. Exactly what will work for you personally, is an effort to figure out. I made it easy for you to find inspiration for the next step - provided for you that aspire and will not be misusing it, no payments required. Thanks for the opportunity (see above for why).
