Identity as Existence: The Mental and Physical Containers of Reality

Everything we interact with is held in mental and physical containers. Containers can be anything, and is everything in existence. Existence is said to relate to, and mean all that is, ie. existence can be defined as any and everything. It relates to itself mostly through conceptuality (what it feels like to think about what we are). The personality is the manifestation of this relationship. It is our thoughts about what we interact to. Thought is identity. Thought is identifying itself in some middle space, consciousness, ie. the current moment that is the manifestation of the interaction between thinking or identity and that which is thought about.

Our identity manifests itself mostly as a sense or feeling of lack because it is conceptually between everything and nothing. It feels as if it is in between annihilation and complete freedom. This feeling manifests itself as our lives. From our small, personal dramas, throughout into the outer reaches of the universe, or wherever your mind conceives. The distance from our conceptions is felt as that identification or identity that expresses itself as "other". That which is close to us in thought is that which is thought about most. "That", is whatever you choose to be in relationship to that which you consider yourself not to be. It is felt and experienced as what we refer to as matter. The matter interacts and is the identity or thought. They are relations of existence. The body is a manifestation of the closest identity. It's interactions are itself experienced as an exchange between that which it considers itself to be and that which it considers to be something else (conceptually and physically; as they are the same thing experienced and sensed as two separate things).

Everything is experienced through relationship. Everything is what you are. What you are is an experience of relationship. As individual experiences (personalities, ie. conscious centers of existential experience) relate to each other they manifest as aspects of energy. Aspects are the objects of existence. Objects are that which is considered at every level of imaginative existence, a sectioning of personality which literally embodies itself as something else. Our experiences are the interaction with objects of ourselves. Ourselves as inter-subjective/objective aspects of reality experienced as individual areas or containers of mental energy.

That which is fully us and that which is fully other is the essence of the intersubjective/objective conundrum of existence. We position ourselves as something that is; a conglomerate of experiential relationship.

Emotions are the experience of physical relationship. Thought is the experience of mental relationship, they meet in the middle, and can be said to be folding within each other all the way outward. All things exists as this folding as a particular proximity or identification.

The initial place of ultimate center is in the breath of the body. The ephemeral oxygen (our conception of the physical existence) we take into ourselves. It is the initial connection between inner and outer or mental and physical.

Our relationships are experienced as an exchange of energy. All of existence is a mixing of mental-physical energies experienced as containers (both mental and physical). For instance, one can relate any thought or conceptual promulgation to an experience of physicality in the moment because the thought is the relationship between all things as mental-physical energy. The energy interacts with itself as it is, an identity. All of mental reality is an interpretive level of interaction. All of physical reality is an experiential level of interaction. These particular containers (mental and physical (both conceptually and physically), unite to create what is experienced as a narrative. The intelligence around us (remember it is both us and that which we consider not us; the whole of existence perceived as intelligent energy) is experienced as an exchange of identity; again, us and not us and the innumerable amount of objects we can identify (maintain identity with in any given conscious moment) or attract and feel as oneself. We describe this mentally as manipulation (of identity), and experientially or physically we experience it as energetic exchange. Each object is a part of itself relating to another self that is ultimately a part of a whole (whole including existence at every level both mental and physical) or no (no meaning nothingness) self.

When we interact, we are accepting the other as ourself. We normally sit in a place where pieces of the other exist far to us both mentally and physically, and other pieces or objects of identification exist closer in proximity to the ultimately middle, hereon described as the body-mind.

In our talks of consciousness we should begin to distinguish which elements and objects we are describing mentally as opposed to physically. When describing through the container of consciousness studies (which can be said to include both mental and physical containers of mental manifestation; eg. consciousness studies delves into both psychological and physical science, as well as those containers which are now currently attempting to progressively but limitedly combine mental and physical 'orientations' or 'areas of study' (containers)), we are widening the scientific domain into the psychological, and the psychological into the scientific. Many of our disagreements are trivially and ignorantly attacks between two completely opposite levels of aspects of experience, the mental and the physical. Agreements can occur, but they are manipulations of identity, where one relinquishes some aspect of energy or identity.

Furthermore, we should begin to relate physical and mental aspects, as such elucidating the relationship between the connective tissue (for instance, the term connective tissue can be understood and known as the neuronal network or muscle fibers of the body, or related referentially (or through another 'object/container') as a different or "other" (not me) aspect of the body environment experience, such as a metaphorical or more abstract understanding of the experience. Language or communication is the meeting and exchange of the separate energies (mentally understood as other and not other).

Existence presents itself in games or stories (games as in an expression of yourself or identity according to particular rules) that are derived through the insecurity or fear we feel from identification with only a small piece of what we are. The rules are an interpretation of what we are in comparison to what we aren't. What results is a story of meaning where what we are (the conscious space of interaction; (thoughtfully this space is described, physically this space is felt) is narrated through communication (energy exchange) between the am and am not. We exists as the whole and the no self through an identification (which presents itself through thoughtful existence) with what resides in-between the no-thing and the everything. We experience this identity as a duality or multiplicity of acceptance and rejection of a unique expression of self.
