Conceptual impressions surrounding this post have yet to be substantiated, corroborated, confirmed or woven into a larger argument or network.
Symbolic projection and reflection are the means by which we learn to experience our own true nature. Each projection and reaction entertains the desire to symbolically justify to ourselves who we are. We attempt to explain our inner life by casting our reflection into space and time. Our very being senses life as a symbolic journey towards a greater understanding that can only be discovered through experience. In Life we sometimes experience ourselves as living in another dimension that symbolically re-presents its self in 3D space/time.
This inner being exists within and beyond human comprehension. It is more felt than understood. Yet, because of the symbolic nature of design we can experience, discover and interpret for ourselves certain aspects of this internal mystery. The more mysterious and hidden the circumstance the more complex the challenge becomes.
Design consciousness is based upon the premise that what we perceive outside of ourselves, i.e. the outer objective world, has a corresponding and symbolic relationship with what lies cloaked within us. It is here where the symbolism that is attributed to design consciousness becomes analogous with the unknown mystery of Being. Design helps interpret and understand both ourselves and the world around us.
Please note that the symbolic interpretation of these projected events are more felt than understood. This is because the mind is unable to grasp the vastness surrounding the concept of Being. The mind has the tendency to invite separateness and therefore create a symbolic disconnect with who we really are. Our mind has the potential to detach us from the symbolic reality that connects us to the Universe. The same vehicle that supports us is in our journey towards greater understanding of our objective world, is also capable of creating division and distortion in our inner world. This can bring great difficulty if we mistakenly identify ourselves (self) with our mind rather than with our deep-seated connection, i.e. feeling, to Being.
How we think and how we feel about ourselves are constantly being projected, reflected upon and internally interpreted. Each projection of our self also carries a certain intention (desire) supported by earlier experiences. Generally, these intentions are designed to reinforce past belief systems patterned about a series of earlier interpretations. These projections color every evaluation of ourselves and others. These same symbolic projections affect how we perceive and interact with the world. If not satisfied with what we subconsciously feel or recognize, our mind will be inclined to return to an earlier “situation”*. We tend to support past outcomes and interpretations thereby reinforcing, protecting and reassuring our ego that it has a major role in our interpretation of consciousness.
* 3D space/time creates the timeline and dimension necessary towards exercising the mind in remembering situations that surrounded a certain event and/or experience.
We often purposely reinforce our belief systems by actively supporting previously pre-conditioned expectations. In this fashion we avoid internal conflict by supporting what the mind would consider the status quo. Some find it simpler to shelter themselves from the truth by accepting the patterns of a particular belief system in a mindless fashion without question. When what we sense and desire doesn’t meet expectations we tend to reinforce the very same patterns that originally conditioned our thinking, i.e. ego, ... facts or no facts. In some circumstances it can seem much easier that way. Generally, we tend to pre-condition our expectations and react rather than appropriately respond to the situation.
Preconceptions appear as forces that can likewise distort our experiences. Preconceptions can contaminate our perceptions, condition our thinking and perpetuate belief systems that can stifle our inner quest to discover who we are. In essence, preconceptions have the ability to distort our internal projections and interpretations thereby restraining our ability to expand in awareness.
Preconceptions can result in the ego maintaining a dominance over consciousness by means of focusing upon past conditioning. In order to expand experience, i.e. consciousness and therefore our design awareness, we must do so without preconception.
