Inner dissociation<\/a>: as if anything mental is directly available to conscious control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How many people?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In my experience, more than enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, this depends very much on one\u2019s definition of the phenomenon. From what point onward can one call it so? Also, there are many colors in the spectrum. \u2018Inner dissociation\u2019 is a vague term, but not, therefore, less important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The anxiety provoked by the ensuing lack of control can be either felt or not<\/a>. Especially if not felt, this creates cognitive dissonance: the urge to fill the void with whatever explanations or other means to get rid of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From little to flooding<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s not straightforward to find out about one\u2019s own state of inner dissociation. Mainly, as a matter of fact, one is naturally not conscious of what happens non-consciously. One needs to be cautious in both directions. To be avoided is the saying: \u201cIt is not, because I feel it not.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Compare the challenge with a colorblind person trying to understand what colors are. However, in this case, the colors may gradually show up through the person\u2019s making reasonable efforts. One needs to open oneself when countering things that don\u2019t meaningfully fit or are paradoxical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Being open, one can quickly see several of these \u2015 then more and more \u2013 then it looks like a flooding that sweeps over so much (see my blog-essays) that one better talks of a mental paradigm shift<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whatever<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Having arrived at the insight of three-dimensional reality on a two-dimensional screen (Maya\u2019s veil in a specific tradition), one also starts encountering \u2018whatever\u2019 in many ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the whatever of any means people can use not to see \u2013 or even be able to see \u2013 the dissociation mentioned above. Eventually, anything might be used to eliminate the idea that one doesn\u2019t consciously<\/em> control oneself to a huge degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That is a problem.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n From the two sides of the veil, it\u2019s challenging to grasp the other side. Alas, this may lead to pretty much hostility \u2015 canceling, for instance. It\u2019s better to get this when traversing to the other side \u2015 which is usually done from illusion to dis-illusion<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even so, it\u2019s better \u2013 and more accurate \u2013 to not see this hostility as coming from the person who outs is, even if oriented to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even so, it\u2019s a problem. History shows that this kind of problem can take some time to resolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, let\u2019s not wait to do what is needed.<\/p>\n
