Introduction To The Space Outside - #2 in the series

Sometimes in order to see where we are it is necessary to assume a point of view that is outside of ourselves. This, though, is easier said than done for we have very effectively attached all manner of fasteners, blinds, decoys and shields to ourselves that do exactly what they were put there to do i.e., hold us back and keep us from seeing what is actually there! Therefore, it is a rare occasion indeed when we manage to get outside for a glimpse at the bigger picture. But when we do, by whatever means we can, our whole perspective with regards to where we are, what we are and who we really are can shift dramatically.

The Space Outside is a sneaky way to get us past our own very complex and sophisticated network of defenses and out far enough away from the inside perspective to have a new look at where, what and who we really are. In other words, it's a way to get the Genie out of the bottle. And you, my friend, are the Genie.

This material that you will be reading in The Space Outside is a blend of reality, unreality, flights of fantasy, some small bit of sci-fi and a whole lot of what you will acknowledge as being truth but is in fact lies. It is up to you, though, to decide what is what and when it is what it is. That being said, be prepared to experience frequent changes of mind regarding your conclusions. Most things are far from being what they first appear to be. And, of course, we all know that truth is often times much stranger than fiction and experiencing a slight shift in awareness can change one's perspective tremendously.

As it is agreement that is the mortar and brick of reality, it is agreement alone that can transform the unbelievable fantasy or “way out” sci-fi into a common reality. Perhaps you don’t think so? You think it must be more complicated than that. Well, look around. It’s happening all the time. Agreement is the basic building block of reality. But don’t get reality confused with actuality as they most certainly are not, regardless of what the dictionaries may state, the same thing. And, by the way, actuality is something that you will not be seeing much of in this material. That doesn’t mean that it is not here it just means that you will not be able to see it.

When I first sat down a few years ago and began writing, I was writing material for a citizens activist group that I planned on forming. I had no idea that my writing would take the turn it did. And what’s more, it took the turn so subtly that it actually seemed to be a integral part of the material I was composing for the group. I had no idea that I, without knowing it, had stepped through the “looking glass” and went into the “rabbit hole.” Notice that I didn’t say down the rabbit hole. I didn’t say down because direction, as I’ve come to discover, has absolutely nothing to do with the rabbit hole. Perhaps what is even wilder than that is that I have found that there are many, many types of looking glasses and with each new looking glass there is a new rabbit hole to become acquainted with. I wonder if Alice, while she was visiting in Wonderland, ever made that same discovery?

Whether you realize it or not you are on the verge of embarking on a most fantastic journey through, around and away from the comfortable and predictable familiarities of your mind to that remarkable and mysterious space outside. After making your way through this introduction, If you continue on and begin reading The Space Outside material as I post it, you will be going straight into the first, but quite tame, rabbit hole. If the thought of moving into the confines of a rabbit hole (even a tame one) makes you uncomfortable, now is the time to press the delete tab, so to speak, and go no further. I assure you, just the reading of this material can open up doors that you had absolutely no idea were there. But the door is not the point. The point is what’s behind the door? You may think I’m kidding. I’m not. Consider your next action carefully. If you feel that you are not ready now that’s totally okay. It’s better not to take a chance if you’re unsure and hesitant. And, if you’re afraid, then it is a sure fired cinch, that you will bring into existence, for yourself, the very thing you are afraid of (it’s just one of the idiotic laws of this universe). In any event, you may be more ready to go on this journey at a later date in time. But of course, whatever you do is totally up to you.

There’s one more important thing to mention to you before I end off.

Have you ever had the experience of putting something away, perhaps into a box, a drawer, storage or some such place and then later forget that you even had it? And then one day you’re moving or rearranging things and you happen to come across this item and you say or think something to the effect, “Well whada ya know! I completely forgot I had this!” Of course, you had never lost it but you had so completely forgotten about it that it ceased to exist for you.

Well, truth be told, your mind (not your brain) is jammed packed full of such places where you have stored away memories only to later forget that you ever had them. For all practical purposes these memories of yours have become nonexistent for you. Some of these places in your mind are very small compartments containing only a few memories while other places are enormous warehouses in which you cannot even perceive boundaries. And these particular storehouses, of which are more numerous than you can fathom, are full of lifetimes and lifetimes and lifetimes of memories in immense detail.

By the way, I don't expect for one moment that you'll believe or accept any of this, but nevertheless, the reason that I am bringing this up is that if you do go on to follow this string that you have picked up, there is a slight chance that at some point or another, you just might happen across some of those long forgotten storage places of yours. I just want to prepare you for that possibility so that if or when it happens you’ll at least have an idea what’s going on. However, it most likely will not happen. It’s only a very small fraction of people that ever have that experience.

So. . . the bottom line is – that whatever you might be expecting to read – what you are about to read, will not be what you are expecting.

May your force be with you.
