Day 84 The Image and the FACE of a Person
So, having met some Destonians that I have known for like 9 years for some, that its like HOLY SHIT. I don't know them. Like really KNOW them. And that's how it is. Now one VERY specific and PARTICULAR point that I am going to zero in on is the image and face of a person.
Now, using one person as an example, if I look at photos of their face on facebook, all of my judgment and preconceptions on WHO that person is based on how they look, how they smile, their facial structure, their eyes, EVERYTHING, is just completely and FLAT OUT WRONG. I am wrong in my assessment of who they are, based on image. So obviously the question is why then do we do this? Why do I do this?
Because that goes to show you CANNOT trust the image at all to tell you who the person is. You cannot. Its not trustworthy. And that is Interesting isn't it? I mean really look at it. Because we are all the time judging based on what we see. All the time. We do it so often and so regularly that we forget about it. We can't see that all we ever see of a person is our own judgment of that person. That's it. Nothing else. We get used to it. It gets easy. It becomes the only way to live.
But fuck man its just plain WRONG. Its bad information.
I mean sitting down with a person, and just being in their presence, speaking to them. That is how you get to know a person. Until then, all that you see online, or in images, its not real. Its not them. It's like imagine if you are blind. So obviously you can't see. But if you sit with a person, hear their voice, interact with them in daily life, like how they live, how they do things, how they take care of responsibilities, their attention to details, how aware they are of others, how aware and considerate they are of you and of the environment, that says A LOT.
That is why at Desteni what is emphasized is your LIVING, who you are in the little moments, who you are in EVERYTHING that you do, how you live, how you consider others, everything that you take into your awareness as you do things in EVERY MOMENT. That is what counts. That is what is notice, that is what has an impact on those around you. And then when you speak and introspect, that level of awareness of simply being here and seeing direct is reflected in how you speak, what you say, and your level of perception in the moment of a conversation with a person.
It all matters, Everything you DO is interconnected with everything else you do, including Process, including self-change, including Expressions of all sorts, and colors, and movements.
That is also why anyone can walk process, even if you are working most of your day trying to support your family. Because its about living the tools in your everyday moment. We all equally have just this one moment, what is right here in real time.
So ACT, DO IT. MOVE IT, THROUGH IT
