The first pivotal transformation of interiority is to perceive and think from within-to-without, in the sense of ‘exterior’. We are confused by the idea of ‘an outside of us’, which, in fact, literally does not exist. Yet it is the foundation of the modes of conceptual thought we are scripted to see, think, and relate with.
The ‘Universe’ is »within you. When you ‘see something outside yourself’, the ‘thing you are seeing with’ is ‘the universe inside you’. This is that which ‘recognizes’, in a primordial, rather than conceptual sense.
The second pivotal transformation of interiority is to perceive and think ‘from Unity into Distinction’. We are similarly miseducated to get this monumentally backwards. We ‘see separate things/beings/situations’ and then ‘collect them’ according to a conceptual lexicon of ‘set and member’. This is a useful feature only within the representational frameworks that dominate our modern speech, thought, conceptualization and experience. Outside that framework, in Nature, for example, you would not survive it. You would die from misevaluation in short order.
The third pivotal transformation of interiority is to recognize that words, categories and ideas ‘are conveniences of representation’. Once realized, the mind immediately recognizes their falsehood »prior to utilizing them. The concept of ‘correctness’ is replaced with the »direct manifestation of insight. The ‘difference’ resembles the difference between manipulating photographs of food items and composing a meal for beloved family members and friends. The ‘illusion’ of nourishment is lethal. It is »literally, the act of ‘losing participation with’ for the sake of ‘deriving representational manipulables’.
