Understanding the Non-Understandable.
We have been taught to categorize the non-understandable.
In the attempt to understand, we have been taught to categorize the non-understandable. We select the things that we cannot control and categorize them as good or bad. Then, when the bad is felt or the good is not felt, we often look to attach blame. We must assign responsibility to something or someone out of fear, or to avoid blaming ourselves.
This is because we live on the outer edges of our personalities that demand answers that fit into our rational minds. The inner sanctum in which we live is a state of culturally induced rationalism that has been provided for us.
Culturally induced rationalism refers to the idea that an individual's rational thinking and problem-solving abilities are shaped and influenced by the cultural context in which they live. This perspective is the influence of how we perceive and interpret the world.
Many circles, which determine what its desired ends are, exist within society, government, church, law, financial and healthcare, to name just a few. What individuals consider rational varies from one sphere of activity to another. To operate effectively, culturally induced rationalism governs what is rational within a range of human activity.
Any collective of human activity will form a unique culture over time. These unique cultures exist within organizations, occupations, neighborhoods and across national and ethnic lines.
Members of a culture expect other members to act in certain ways and maintain specific attitudes. Then we can determine what is rational from within a cultural framework. We may believe that people will act rationally, but when we witness a person doing something, we develop our own reasons that explain their action.
We assign a reason to other people’s actions that render those actions rational. We do not come up with our reasons for others’ actions randomly but rather through our explanations of everyday knowledge. Everyday knowledge is gained through experience, which we use to judge what is probable in each situation.
Since our values derive from accepted circumstances and situations from being within a particular culture, we often defend them as being absolutes. This reflection of world relativism to the common conviction that our values are ultimately justifiable in something external to our conditioned ways.
We live our lives from the standpoint of value. As sentimental beings, we personify a network of needs and desires which determine the course of action, one that we cannot step completely outside of.
Even when we decide to question and evaluate our preferences, we do so from the standpoint of other preferences which act as a standard for appraisal. The very desire to conduct such an inquiry expresses a pledge of value and self-understanding. This is why we can never truly look at the world, or ourselves, from a completely unmotivated and neutral stance.
Should we move away from justification towards something like an acceptance of how things are and how we want things to be? Do we address the practical question of how competing ethical and cognitive views can coexist? The desire to universalize our values may continue even though we discover they lack an ultimate foundation or justification. The acceptance of culturally induced rationalism affects how we express who we are.
As a nonconformist freely living in my own free culture, that mostly exists in my mind of non-ordinary reality. Non-ordinary reality is a state of consciousness outside of the ordinary everyday awareness and categorization.
Exploring a non-ordinary reality can lead to a profound personal transformation, potentially resolving deep-seated anxieties and psychosomatic disorders. With the addition of thought, prayer and meditation, these realities can offer a clearer glimpse into other dimensions of existence and consciousness beyond the physical world.
Non-ordinary reality encompasses dimensions of existence that are beyond our usual perception. Here there are no boundaries of time, space and realization expansion. Exploring these mysteries and the significance of them offers the seekers a deeper truth.
Non-ordinary reality refers to dimensions of existence that transcend our normal waking state. It is a realm opening the door to expanded perceptions and heightened awareness. It allows us to tap into the connection of all things and access profound wisdom, guidance and transformative experiences. Insights gained often carry a deep sense of meaning and purpose back to normal waking consciousness.
Venturing beyond the boundaries of our everyday experience illuminates the nature of reality and interconnectedness of all things. It is an opening of the mind to the profound mysteries and transformative possibilities that lay beyond.
Reflective practices such as meditation, prayer, journaling, creative expressions and seeking guidance from spiritual leaders, can aid in assimilating and applying the insights gained from non-ordinary reality.
When you discover the power of your awareness and inner insight with intuition as your compass, it is understanding instinctively without the need for conscious reasoning.
You become part of the unknown, which means to be in a state of not knowing or being familiar with something, whether it's a situation, a place or a thing. It is opening a time of unfamiliarity, uncertainty and the lack of information. The unknown is what is not known, understood or experienced. It's the opposite of the familiar or the well-known.
Many people find that venturing into the unknown challenges them to step outside of their comfort zones and discover new aspects of themselves and of the world. The unknown often refers to the mysteries of the universe, the limits of human knowledge and the potential for undiscovered truths. Being in the unknown also is seen as the opportunity of learning, exploration and personal growth.
We are undergoing a precise sequence of instructions. This is a calculated plan of action to accomplish a specified end. In short, we are being programmed. All of our minds are programable, but this curriculum must be instilled by you with your own thoughts and beliefs. If not, then they are being programmed with compliance, by something or someone else.
If you no longer want to be part of the system of culturally induced rationalism that is overpowering who you are, you must release the ideas that have you in captivity. You will free yourself as soon as you discover and realize that the confinement was constructed of thoughts.
To find clarity with who you are, you must study your whys. Why do you think, why do you feel and why do you do? You must also ask yourself why you repeat your whys as well. The ultimate wisdom becomes present from knowing your whys.
Though my foundation of being is secure and cased in my own non-ordinary reality, I’m no longer truly sure what I am here for, but if I had to define a definition for those that seek formal significance and understanding in the realm of culturally induced rationalism, I would have to say, I am here to create ripples in the thought process of the continuum that may be part of the future realization of something that is imagined. - dbA
