Absolute Reality … Not So Much

“You can suffer, but only from false beliefs.”

— MICHELE LONGO O’DONNELL, AMERICAN AUTHOR

It’s a common delusion that there are good guys and bad guys, those wearing white hats and those who deserve to be tied to the railroad tracks. This game of right-and-wrong, win-or-lose, me-or-you has reached pandemic proportions. By dividing and labeling everything, we automatically diminish our possibilities by a whopping 50 percent. By believing there’s such a thing as one right answer, we lose half our options, half our personal freedom, half our energy.

We also end up with a lot more rules.

The invisible, all-powerful energy force gets sliced and diced, classified and categorized, until its juice, its unlimited mojo, gets sucked right out of it. By playing on this battlefield, we send the force that shapes and molds our lives out to scout for the small and the piteous. Our constant judgments and game-day analyses erect a thick curtain between us and the field of infinite potentiality.

The mental gymnastics it takes to play this either-or game sets up resistance, causes us to blame others, and trains us to see everything as a problem. It turns literally everything in our lives into our enemy. Even our own bodies, which we fully expect (although we do everything we possibly can to postpone it) to eventually decay, get sick, and rot away.

Worldview 1.0 is based on the belief that everything is out to get us: the environment, our politicians, our food, our bodies (which we examine regularly for breakdowns in yearly checkups), other countries, even our lovers, whom we’ve been warned to examine for signs that he’s just not that into us.

Every news report, every commission, every political speech, every self-help book is based on our unending fascination with “what’s wrong.” We take pills, we buy energy drinks, we twist ourselves into yoga poses, we chant, we meditate, we pray to some nebulous deity in a fruitless search to correct all the wrong in our lives. Or the wrong we’ve been warned is coming.

History books are filled with lurid recountings of war, famine, and political unrest. As Patch Adams, the American doctor who was the inspiration for the eponymous movie, once wisely asked, “Where’s the party chapter?”
