Can’tKeep – You speak about the, “the literal sense, logic and physics would say that the chains instead of freeing us would drags us together to fall down the high peaks, probably he meant taking us out of the halo control, but still the fall seemed inevitable.”
It is thinking ‘logically’ that keep people locked inside cages of their own making. The logical thinking in the way you describe it started with the Greeks and Romans and has developed into the main paradigm of today. Yet in 1900 a completely new way of seeing the world and ourselves and of course the ‘laws’ of physics. We were taught that the fastest anything could travel was the speed of light. But quantum theory showed that that was wrong, because quanta were everywhere at once – and they are the fundamental particles of our being – not atoms.
The American Heritage Dictionary defines a paradigm as – “A set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that constitutes a way of viewing reality for the community that shares them, especially in an intellectual discipline.”
We could say, in regard to the western mind, that many of us share ‘assumptions, concepts, values’ and prejudices that are at the base of how we believe life to be, and that we consider to be reality. However, if we examine this ‘reality’ we see it is made up of a set of theories and beliefs that have become cultural and generally accepted. The imprisoning aspect of this is that we take these assumptions, these theories of what reality is, to be reality itself. We actually see and live in the world as if what are shifting theories is concretely real.
In its simplest form, the paradigm mentioned can be described as having arisen from the mechanistic ideas of Newtonian physics, in which the universe was seen as a huge mechanical device. As Newtonian physics developed, the fundamental particle of the universe was defined as the atom. Nothing in scientific research at the time could prove that anything existed beyond the atom, and the atom is a physical object. Therefore, nothing other than physical substance was ‘real’. This, so it appeared, disproved the possibility of personal awareness being anything other than some trick of chemicals, molecules and atoms in the brain and body. There could be no spirit or life after death because, after all, we are only atoms! Nothing in our consciousness can exist unless it is produced by the physical brain.
We are product of Life’s biological processes, as such we and the world are all quanta processes. I believe dreams arise out of our Life process, and as such come from our which is beyond form, time and space, and dreams are a mixture if a core process and our personality that has been raised in the environment of time and space – so has to use images and actions that mean something to our poor imprisoned self – well, self-imprisoned.
Of course you can escape as soon as you realise that not only are you existing in a physical body, but also in the quanta state of timelessness and spacelessness. I know it is a tricky idea to live in, but we are all a paradox. The reason is that we are dual beings. On the one pole of the duality is focused self-awareness with consciousness of being an individual person. On the other pole we experience a void, emptiness – a nothing that is everything. Strangely enough we experience this paradox each day in some degree. The first while awake – the second when we sleep.
But whenever we dream its images are not like real life, because a dream is nothing like outer life where things could hurt you, but is an image like on a cinema screen that even if a gun is pointed at you and fired it can do no damage – except if you run in fear; so all the things that scare you are simply your own fears projected onto the screen of your sleeping mind.
It is also important to realise that every image, every scary or terrifying thing, is taken place inside you, in your mind, as you sleep. This means that every awful animal, every scary thing or person, is created out of your own fears and must not be seen as outside you as happens in waking awareness.
So of course you can set everybody – every aspect of you – free by using something like
