Resolution Psychology

The Snail and its Shell (part of page 16)
When you are aware, your observer and knower are as one. When an internal or external object is added, the knower appears to leave the observer and become the knower on its own: like a snail that leaves its shell to investigate, move or eat then returns home to its shell. The knower in similar fashion emerges from the observer to investigate, moving or digesting knowledge, then returns back into the observer. The snail and its shell are one but have different purposes. So too, the observer and knower is one: but have different purposes. The observer-knower is always one, but the coming and going of the knower can and does create a feeling of separation. When united the knower blends into the observer. You are aware, or know that you are both observing and knowing: or knowingly observant. This is awareness.

The Spotless Glass (part of page 19)
To see requires light. You are both the light and the mirror to see that light reflected in. This is awareness or the ability for you to see and know that you can see and know, and to see and know what you see and know is from what sees and knows.

This process looks like the empty, silent darkness of the void of internal infinity. Perceptively nothing exists and so appears like totally dark and transparent glass where everything is; but is utterly devoid of anything: it is pure pristine primordial awareness. From within the glass of pure pristine primordial awareness, itself draws together or concentrates the darkness of the void to form a backing to the glass to produce a mirror, for the light to see itself reflected by that mirror: and this is consciousness. Consciousness is both the light to see and the mirror to see itself. This is awareness, as you can see or witness yourself and know that you are also witnessing. The light is your knower, as it can know; the mirror is your observer, as it can see or it can see itself as the knower. The combination is your experiencer as consciousness.

The Deception and Deceit (part of page 22)
It is when your knower appears to leave the observer that it takes on an independent existence. This independence is the root beginning of the illusion of an independent 'I' that is separate and isolated from the observer-knower and so is deceptive. It is a deception, as this 'I' still feels as if it is the observer-knower but knows itself to be an independent entity. It is the knower that knows this and has now become a knower-I, as I know or the deception is now the new but illusionary sense of 'I am', constructed upon a deception.

Upon the knower-I, as the deception, there arises a deceit that forms attachments to that deception. From the sheer accumulation of mind function use, likes and dislikes arise attaching themselves to the knower-I. It is these likes and dislikes that initiate all attachments corresponding to one or other as greed, envy, anger, hate, lust and repulsion. These in turn support arrogance, superiority, covetous, pride and any other negative emotion that stimulates: this is the deceit, as it is deceitful. The independent knower-I is the deception, as an additional 'I' — which is an extra person added — the deceit maintains that independence and creates all the deceitful emotions.

This new combination is your false sense of 'I am' or person-ality , and is the cause of your sense of isolation or aloneness, all your misery, pain and suffering. The deceit maintains the deception by those attachments, but eventually the deceit overpowers and rules the deception by stealth.

It is possible to have enormous intellectual comprehension and totally miss what that comprehension is experientially referring to, or have an experiential illumination that without an intellectually created foundation can easily develop into emotional fanaticism. To experience the deception and deceit, or the volitional thinker, is individual evolution. But the experience must have a useable format to place that experience into, creating a practical daily living experience that becomes a spiritual evolutionary reality. To know, and not do what you know is deceptive and deceitful, the endless recreation of the deception and deceit.

Revealing in Revelations (from page 28)
From Biblical Book of Revelations it is the deception or false 'I am' that is the first beast, which passes its authority to the second beast, the deceit, allowing it to act on its behalf and with its power. It does this through or by the whore of seductive stimulation of new, better, best, brighter, shiner, cleaner, faster, smoother, bigger, more powerful, more alluring, more dramatic, and of course the best of all sexier, pretty, beautiful or handsome. Then to this mix add ambition, power, status, greed and wealth and you have the whore of humanity, and its seductive stimulation keeps you forever in the power of the beasts. Who can defeat such a beast? The Biblical Book of Revelations, if read from another angle, is indeed very revealing.

Resolution of Dualities (part of page 28) Equanimity is the resolution of dualities, which is never an easy process until you have eliminated the deception and deceit. Knowing what the deception and deceit is and how it operates allows you to see the duality of restriction and non-restriction at work, affording you the opportunity to resolve them.

By being totally entrapped within either restriction or non-restriction, that entrapment will resolve itself. It is a fail-safe mechanism within the duality that will not allow you to remain indefinitely within one or other. Eventually the entrapment will cause you a fair degree of pain and suffering, and this is its fail-safe mechanism that the majority just ignore. They wail and cry of their woes, not recognizing from where their pain and suffering derives from or why. You can only recognize the immediate pain and its cause, but may not recognize why it is there.

Your existence is one of evolution and if that evolution is trapped and cannot evolve, the help to get you out and get you moving can be either a gentle process (if you can listen), or a disruptive one (if you are deaf). There is no chastising entity or conceptual retribution. It is purely a fail-safe mechanism to keep you evolving. The duality of restriction and non-restriction is the breath of life, and if you are holding on to a full breath or hanging on to an empty breath, both will naturally cause you to stop breathing, resulting in no life. It is kind, farsighted wisdom that slaps you on the back to cause you to take a breath in or expel the one you are holding. This is kindness — even thought experienced as pain — and it gets you breathing again.

The Shadow (part of page 26)
It is the gift of free will that allows the knower to evolve consciousness, or it would forever remain as creature consciousness. It is a natural process for free will to artificially combine with the intellect, as the intellect is the builder and analyzer: the beginning of thinking survival by a volitional thinker.

Free will (see Free Will One and Two of the articles page on this web site) is what gave the intellect the ability to make choices beyond pure reaction. Under the control of the knower-I, it became a volitional thinker as an 'I' separate from the knower. This now free-floating volitional thinker believes that this is what it is, as it can see its own knower light reflected on the physical screen of the manifested world. This occurs as the knower is facing the manifested world or looking outwards and what it sees is what the volitional thinker thinks or produces. Effectively, the knower's own light is now behind the thought or production casting a shadow of that thought or production on the screen of manifestation. The knower sees the shadow and takes the shadow as itself, as an independent 'I' that did the thinking or producing, and this is the deception.

The Darkness of the Shadow (page 31)
The light cannot see itself unless aware of its own light, and so takes the shadow the knower creates by its own movement as itself. The original process repeats, as the shadow also cannot see itself. So it becomes what that shadow sees as its reality — which is the accumulated discrimination— and the shadow is maintained by that seeing, which is deceitful. These accumulated discrimination conclusions, by sheer habitual use becomes the shadow, a delusion supporting the continuation of an illusion; and this is deceitful, and so the deceit.

The deceit supports or maintains the deceptive illusion, as it reinforces the delusion that the illusion is real. With continued use the deception unknowingly has passed its own authority to the deceit to act in its name and on its behalf: the deception has given control to the deceit. Or, the first beast of Book or Revelations has passed its authority to the second beast to act in its name and with its power.

The Great Deception (part of page 71)
All your worries, fears and anxieties rise and fall upon demand and live within the knower-I deception and deceit that continually recycle within the transitory. It is this endless recycling that initiates the ceaseless destruction by construct protection — possibly disguised with a benevolent face — that is the playground of the deceit. All those constructs of 'This is how it should be, this is how it is, this is how I want or like it, this is how it must be' etc. are your prison walls that will not allow you any form of escape. The deceit will manipulate those constructs into some form of emotional entrapment, which maintains the prison that easily destroys in the guise of building. This entrapment forever recycles and provides no way out, as it just endlessly continues.

The Prison Escape (part of page 71)
Within the transitory outer world you are continually creating and recreating a transient identity that rises and falls or comes and goes upon demand, which is what modern day psychology deals with. This transitory identity, as your personality is always open to deceit manipulation that controls what you feel is your controlling personality, which is the deception — as an independent knower-I — under the manipulative control of the deceit. This is entrapment and will remain as such until you make a clear decision to get out of that prison, and if you make that decision your real journey in life begins to unfold. This new journeyless journey is the hunt for permanence.

The Shadow's Anxiety (part of page 92)
The knower-I deception has lost its connection to the permanence of The Good (its own impersonally embedded nature), and is searching for the same type of connection in the transitory world to make the independent 'I' feel good.

The knower in the first reflection of consciousness (see glossary) will naturally reference itself to The Good, by its own self-referential nature, and so feels good by just being in that reflection. The knower-I in the second reflection of consciousness is searching for the same sense of feeling good that will create any form of happiness in that reflection (physical manifestation). But it only discovers what that 'I' is attracted to or seduced by to make itself feel good. All of these things are transitory, and that makes that independent knower-I deception very anxious and fearful of losing what it now considers its good or happiness.

Reverse Reflection (part of page 93)
Evolution in its entirety is you personal knower getting to know itself, and what that knower is referenced to. The knower-I deception will always reference itself in the transitory, physical world, as there it will discover all the simulation and enticement to maintain its existence, and will attract and accumulate all the things that makes the knower-I feel good and form its happiness. The possible loss of what makes the knower-I deception feel good — the loss of its happiness — creates all the fear and anxiety within the second reflection of consciousness (the physical world). You know that you will eventually lose it anyway, but temporary satisfaction is the world of the deceit that maintains the deception, and it does that with unrelenting persistence.
