A Key Limitation Of Any System

We must come to realise that every system is only a product of its parts, and so every socio-political system we try to develop will naturally become limited by the conscious level of perception of all of the individuals that are a part of it.

We have a tendency to greatly overcomplicate our own lives. It is this more analytical aspect of our beings which generally starts to create an increasing number of distinctions and categories in the world around us. We see this occurring increasingly in our modern era, as our tendency to create these distinctions and categories becomes more pronounced. We often fail to see the important fact that each category or distinction we create becomes a phenomenon which we are able to become enmeshed with the identity of and become attached to. 

Such a tendency is all too common today and is something which has already resulted in many individuals becoming attached to a variety of these categories and distinctions, sometimes being referred to as ‘identities’, which then creates and establishes significant blocks in their own perception. Initially, we may struggle to see why this represents such a problem for us, especially when we consider this within the context of the collective in general. We think that we are simply creating words, attaching those words to phenomena in the world around us, and this is helping us to develop a greater understanding of that world. The truth though is that once we become attached to one of these distinctions, we struggle to be able to see the world around us and interact with it in the most appropriate manner because, in essence, we are now seeing things that are not really there.
