False Evidence Appearing Real = FEAR

 

Someone coined the acronym FEAR - False Evidence Appearing Real.

Living life in unity requires a shift in perspective. It is much like an autostereogram. By allowing the eyes to diverge (they aren't looking at the same point), then a completely different view of the image emerges.

When the perspective shifts as one looks at this image, then a 3D world appears with three geometrical objects apparently floating in front of a flat background. Just looking at the image with normal vision, one sees only an apparently random pattern of shapes and colors.

The experience of living in unity is not unlike this experience. The world is the same world. "I" still have a body, emotions, personality, except now the association of "I" is no longer with the individual body, emotions and personality, it is with the entirety of experience.

With this unified and expanded experience of "I" every part of the perceived world is now a part of myself, interacting with itself. This is similar to when "I" was perceived as the body, then the hands, arms, head, etc all interacted with themselves at times. There was also the automatic functioning of the body going on in which the physical systems of the body operated without my direct control.

Similarly, from the perspective of unity, there is part of "my" experience which seems to be subject to my volition, and many other parts which seem to be going on, on their own.

The Magic of the Reality of Unity

But here is where the cool stuff begins to emerge. As we become conscious of the unified nature of our experience, i.e. we begin to live from the perspective of unity, we begin to see patterns that were not apparent previously.

Rhonda Byrne pointed to this in her movie, "The Secret." Because the unified field is an omnipresent reality, and all parts of this unified field are correlated with every other part (infinite correlation), then a thought "here", produces an effect "there".

Thus, when looked at from the perspective of duality, it appears that we have "attracted' something to ourselves. Thus, one can talk about what appears as a "Law of Attraction." Actually, we are creating our reality through the movement of consciousness in the forms we call thoughts. "What you believe you perceive."

From another perspective, the ancient Vedic literature says, "What you see you become." In other words, the way you interpret reality ("see" reality) becomes your reality. This is possible only because everything we perceive is consciousness. Thus consciousness is interacting with itself.

Duality appears from concretized thought forms. When consciousness convinces itself that a physical form perceived by the senses is real, then it appears real. We could say that the world we perceive is actually concretized beliefs.

Of course, the conclusion from this understanding is that to the extent we can shift our imbedded beliefs, we can shift the appearance of the world.

This is an explanation for the possibility of the ancient "supernormal powers" described in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. Patanjali provided methods or techniques to achieve invisibility, levitation, the ability to travel through the universe and others. He said such abilities derived from the unified experience of dharana, dhyana and samadhi.

Dharana is the mind's ability to hold a thought. Dhyana is the mind's ability to transcend or go beyond the thought. Samadhi is the state of transcendence. When these three are experienced simultaneously, then Patanjali said that certain predictable results would occur. He provided a list of specific thoughts that would produce various "powers".

But even short of such "supernormal" abilities, the shift of perspective to unity results in noticing that certain unusual things begin to appear in one's life. As one's beliefs about what is real changes, what appears in one's life changes. We'll save the details of that for a future post.

Fear - False Evidence Appearing Real

Fear arises only when we perceive the world as dual. As long as we believe there is an "other", then there is the possibility that this "other" can do us harm.

Since the ultimate reality of life is unity, then fear is borne of a belief that something is real, when it is not.

Again from the ancient Vedic literature there is the story of the snake and string. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi once told the story like this: a man came into a hut without much light and saw a snake coiled up in the corner. He ran from the hut screaming in fear. He went to everyone in the village telling them about the dangerous snake.

The village all met together to decide what to do about this snake. Finally, one man said, "Why don't we get some light and go look at this snake?" Everyone in the village was afraid and no one wanted to approach the snake.

So the man got a torch and went to the hut to look at the snake. As he brought the light into the dark hut, he saw that what was coiled in a corner was not a snake at all but just a piece of rope.

All fear is borne of the ignorance of unity. "Ignorance" is an interesting word. "Ignore-ance." To ignore the reality.

Just as bringing light to view the snake showed it to be a harmless string, the light of the knowledge of unity, shows duality to be merely a harmless appearance. To remove darkness, to remove fear, all that is required is to turn on the light.

Most people react to fear before it happens because they make an assumption of what might happen if I expose myself to or take this step. We have a saboteur in our brain which keeps us on the straight and narrow because it knows where you are is secure, safe and we can protect ourselves from this illusionary fear which we see in front of us. There really is no fear. We create the fear due to our inability to confront the fear. We can get through it if we had the courage. Yet most people retreat from the false evidence they perceive (see) before them. Unfortunately there is not any possible way we can see that this false evidence is actually appearing real if we are in an illusion which is more real to us than the actual truth in what we perceive (seeing).
