I haven't written any nonsense for a while. This one is pretty important, because it can relate to you, nonsensically, how you develop as a person, analogical to how I develop as a person. If you have anything to say then please don't hesitate to leave a comment below.
We all have comfort pockets, like how I described in my previous posts. It's something we all created as we live so we can live as efficiently as possible with the least amount of energy spent. That's all common sense by now if you've followed me up to this point. However, did I ever mention that there are at least two types of people in this world that doesn't need comfort pockets?
Off the top of my head, I can only conclude two types of people who doesn't require comfort pockets to survive, which are zen masters, and newborn babies. As zen master, infinite flow is the source and the end, so there's no "need" to develop any "security measures" against anything, because they always have infinite supply of anything, and they also lose the need to pursue anything. Babies are new incarnations that has no need or hint of security measures or past experiences that hammers on the back of the subconscious mind all the time, so they won't have any comfort pockets either. Zen masters clearly synchronizes with fate so the illusion we all live in are all realized, but that's not the illusion I'm going to discuss about today.
For the recent years, my comfort pockets are created fresh on a constant basis, unlike many people who prefer to reuse the same comfort pocket until they die, or significant changes happens. For some time in the past, I held certain beliefs in my comfort pocket, but those beliefs still hold true till this day. However, their significance and impact as remarkably change with the new experiences and beliefs I had. The new beliefs somehow over ride the old experiences without erasing them. It sounds confusing even to me.
Things that was permanent suddenly felt temporary, and something temporary suddenly felt permanent, and it often feels okay when I belief that all the things I know fit both categories. It's like spending your life doing something very important, then suddenly forgetting why it's important, or spending your life believing it was quite pointless only to find out in the end that you are an important part of a very big picture.
At times, it can be painful, and you feel that your feelings are crushed in very mysterious and confusing process that you can't relate to. Are there times that you look at a pencil and wonder if other people truly "see" the same pencil? You might hold a pencil three feet away from you and start staring at it, feeling it, and interpreting it your way. A friend "nearby" might be interpreting the pencil entirely differently. Have you ever thought that it's possible to all live together in reality and have a false belief that we perceived we all look a certain way, but that perception can change into a completely different one if you happen to be somebody else. Far might be near, near might be far, but the interaction remains unchanged because you believe you can grab things near, more difficult for things far, but the other person might feel easier to grab things far, but difficult to grab things close, yet at the same time, you are both grabbing the "thing" at the same distance, and your perceptions are completely different. We can never see into each others reality, but only perceive and compare with our own self image and ego and believe that the realities are exactly the same.
Is the apple you eat truly an apple? Is the monitor you looking at right now truly that shape and form for everybody?
