Are You Writing The Story Of Your Heart?
Becoming aware of the nature of the story that our character is a part of
As we become increasingly engaged with our self developmental process in a more conscious manner, this process also sometimes being referred to as our involutionary process in these writings, we will begin to notice that the answers to our internal questions and conflicts become manifest in the world around us through the various events and experiences that we encounter. It is by looking at these in more detail that we may become observant of certain key themes which appear to be particularly active and playing out in our lives at different times. Coming to observe our lives from this perspective allows us to break our lives down into bite-sized chunks which can then begin to be processed, digested, and internally realised in a far easier manner.
These multiple themes of our lives, which are concurrently unfolding, are what we often refer to as the various ‘stages’ of our lives and, by passing through these stages, we are able to come to establish certain conscious levels of perception within us. Each new conscious level of perception that is established within an individual is the equivalent of the resolution of a relevant internal conflict pertaining to some internally unrealised external phenomenon that existed within that individual up until that moment. If we become even more conscious of how we engage with this process, we begin to take note of the fact that it is entirely possible for us to guide this process in some way, shape or form. We can do this by internally posing certain questions to ourselves, contemplate upon them, and resolve various conflicts that become active within us as a result of us having engaged with such a process.
If we engage with this process often enough, we soon become aware of the fact that any internal question we have within us can only exist because of the existence of some internal ‘conflict’ that also exists for us, and so the act of becoming conscious of the questions we hold internally can serve to help us become aware of the lack of clarity in our perception which is, in turn, why we often hold those questions internally within us in the first place. It should also be noted that an ‘internal question’ is something which could exist within us without us necessarily being consciously aware of its existence. In other words, there are many people with internal conflicts present who have not yet arrived at the point where their internal conflicts have formulated into questions that they think about as questions, even though these internal conflicts will still have a significant impact on their lives and the way they interact with the world around them.
Part of the self developmental process is to first become aware of these internal conflicts, which often manifests in our lives as us thinking about specific topics repeatedly, researching or studying certain topics, posing questions to ourselves or others, and having sudden flashes of inspiration or insight. Towards the beginning stages of us engaging with this process, it is likely possible for us to become aware of certain indicators only, the presence of which will typically reveal to us that an internal conflict exists within us, even though we may not be consciously aware of its existence with perfect clarity at that stage of the process. To that end, along our various different journeys we will come across certain events, experiences and concepts which make the existence of these conflicts within us more apparent.
Once this happens, we can create a simple intention to resolve these conflicts, followed by us then simply becoming observant. Although this process may sound very simple, because all we need to do is ‘stay observant’, what we find in practise is that it is difficult to remain observant through the events and experiences which subsequently unfold, precisely because of the fact that the phenomena which are related to these events and experiences have not yet been internally realised by us. This makes perfect sense when we view things from a consciousness perspective, because the conflict and question exists within us precisely because some phenomenon has not been internally realised. Once this process has completed, we will have integrated and internally realised these phenomena, resulting in the resolution of the internal conflict or us finding an ‘answer’ to some question of ours.
