Symbolism and Presence

The following article is my opinion about the nature of Reality. It is just my understanding and is not definitive. This article is rather abstract though.

Our reality or environment seems 'solid', when we 'externalise' experiences as something separate from Mind. That is, when we have yet to realise/recognise the root/cause/source of any particular feeling and experience, we will continue to feel in a certain habitual manner. We will continue to do so subconsciously, as long as the experience is viewed 'externally'.

The moment the feeling/experience is recognised squarely as the 'thought it is', experience transforms and expand/stilled on its tracks. During these moments, Presence is strong, as if a motion has completed its cycle.

Symbolism appears to overlay on the Presence. Presence simply is, without the meaning-overlay of symbolism. All this happens in an astract manner.

We have numerous of this unconscious externalisation of experiences. So vast is this outward projection that our reality appears 'solid'. Each individual unrecognised externalisation weave with one another to form a very 'solid' and concrete reality.

Since the world is a projection, so... do we simply do nothing at all?

Perhaps, our doing of something is itself a symbol of the transformation... so perhaps the event of doing something is also a symbol itself, ... that is... a symbol of progression?

For your neccesary discernment. Thank you for reading.
