The Mirror Concepts Tasks
Task 2: IDENTIFYING YOUR IDEAS |
In Task 1 we began the process of examining the ideas that drive our attitudes and our behaviours. We looked at their surface manifestation, that is, the way in which we behave in community with others. By doing this, we began to see how everyone around us mirrors back to us, exactly who we are. In using this workbook as a tool to heal all our relationships throughout the remainder of our lives, we will surely evolve into the realization of who we truly are.
In Task 2, we are going to look a little deeper by examining how we view the world that we live in. Here, we begin to realize that we are absolutely unable to have an objective view of the world. Our opinions are based solely on who we are. Our ideas determine how we view the world. The world and its events do not determine the way that we think, even if it appears as if it does and even though the evidence appears to be 'compelling'. There is an order that we are yet to realize, and we will gain that realization through the experiential exercises in the Satsanga Halls of this site. That an objective view of the world cannot exist is a hard concept to grasp, and it takes experience to shift our existing views. Task 2 plays its role in helping to pave the way to a new way of seeing that will liberate us from the shackles of our ideas. |
