I'm not sure this is the right place for this post, but it seems to be about 'Seeing', so that's why I put it here.
Recently, I've really begun to see the predators mind in myself; in my thoughts and actions.
Something GotoGo wrote a while back has really stuck with me. He said something like, "We can tell the predators mind isn't us, and is put into us, because it's the same in everyone."
Tonight, I was out with friends, and I stopped to look at them, and observe them, and also the strangers around us. It's in us all. It's in everyone.
It brings up a really strange feeling. It's like I'm coming to know how our beliefs define what we see, or interpret. A sentence comes to mind: when you've lived your whole life in a dream, being awake will seem very surreal.
That's what it was like tonight. Surreal. I remember someone asked Gurdjieff what it is like to be awake and he said, "everything more vivid".
I'm struggling to phrase what I'm feeling, what I'm seeing. Something about beliefs, and seeing without beliefs, and being very uncomfortable with it. Remember in The Matrix, when Neo asks Morpheus, "why do my eyes hurt?" and Morpheus says, "You've never used them"?
Sorry if this is noise, but I wanted to share it.
