The Upside Down World

Written by Mathew Naismith

The upside down world came to me while on a two week camping holiday out in the bush (wilderness, country side) recently, it’s to do with defining realities to be upside down realities, an illusion or just plain wrong in the way we experience such realities.

On my camping holiday, almost every time I laid my head down to rest, I found myself looking at the world in an upside down position, is this the upside down world I am referring to here? Well no funny enough, in this type of conscious state there was no true right or wrong position, there was no true or correct/right position to take when experiencing such consciousness, this also hinted there was no true realities of illusion either as there was no right or wrong way to experience such conscious realities. For there to be a reality of illusions, there also has to be a reality or a state of consciousness that isn’t an illusion, this also hints there is a right and wrong way to experience different realities when there are no true rights or wrongs!!!!

Let’s now look at the interstellar space beyond our own gravity to get a better handle on this, which way is the right and wrong position to experience this space, this universe in? There is no true right or wrong way to experience such space because there is no up or down, in or out except when we re-enter gravity, it’s our perception while existing in this gravity that gives us an illusion of a right way up and a wrong way down. The illusion isn’t the way we experience realities but the way we perceive them while existing in a particular reality such as physical realities that rely on gravity of some kind to exist.

There are people who look at the universe only in a physical way, to them there is only the physical which in my mind mistakenly excludes the so called empty space between one physical object to another, to them there is nothing between these objects like Earth and Earth's moon for example.

To me this space is more important than physical objects because this space to me represents the spiritual domain, a consciousness that has no right or wrongs, in or outs, ups or downs or even illusions and non-illusions. To judge any reality being an illusion, is to actually judge a wrong in comparison to a non-illusion state of consciousness when there are no true right or wrongs to start with, this is all due to the way we perceive each and every state of consciousness as it’s these conscious states that create such realities.

Does this all mean there is no truer self, as to have truer self, there would also have to be a non-truer self, an illusion for comparison?

The truer self actually exists within spiritual laws if you like, not laws defined by existing in various realities that influence us to think there are always right and wrongs, illusions and non-illusions. The truer self is defined by awareness of what such selves define, in other words the more aware we are, the more of the truer self we become, this does not mean however that a less aware self is not true compared to a more aware self, all this means is each self experiences a different reality, that is all, there are no right or wrongs to compare too. This is very difficult for a consciousness that can only perceive through a certain singular conscious state to comprehend, there has to be a lesser self if there is a truer more collective self but that’s not the case.

Take the space between all objects within the universe, which I feel represents the spiritual domain, what again defines up or down, a right way to position ourselves and a wrong way to position ourselves when experiencing this universe? There are none because nothing existing in this space, as pure consciousness, is defined or influenced by a particular conscious realty giving such consciousness labels therefore boundaries to exist by. This is however somewhat different when we add a physical existence to this consciousness mainly because all physical consciousness needs some sort of gravity to exist. It’s amazing how existing in any kind of gravity does most often influence our perceptions of other realities.

I have also been lucky enough to previously experience this non-gravitational conscious state while astral travelling; this state of consciousness certainly gives you a different perspective in regards to all other realities and the mentality that each conscious state creates.

Now once again the funny thing here is that the upside down world actually relates to physical realities as being upside down, this also includes any mentality we create while existing in this upside down world. You could ask how can this be the case, while existing in realities like this one, we are obviously not experiencing such realities in an upside down position?

The thing is there are no upright positions when experiencing a reality, only what is perceived as upright positions which are wholly influenced by certain state of consciousness, an upside down state of conscious positioning can only occur when we perceive there is a wrong or right way to experience such realities. This upside down perception is brought on by perceiving we are experiencing this reality in an upright position thus other ways of experiencing such realities are wrong and upside down. Now what if you didn't perceive this, what if you perceived that there was no right or wrong way to experience such realities? You would in turn perceive there is no wrong or right way to experience these realities therefore there is no true illusion.

Hang on, isn't it the way we perceive such realities that create such realities in the first place, this would mean to create such realities one has to perceive in a certain way and only in a certain way to create such realities?

Perceiving we are experiencing these reality in a certain way certainly does create such realities otherwise these realities wouldn't exist as they are, however, does this mentality mean the only way to experience such realities is perceiving we are experiencing this reality in an upright position. The point is, these realities already exist because of a certain mentality; all we are doing now is experiencing these realities in the way they were perceived (created) in the first place however it doesn't mean we should keep on only perceiving them in this way.

Now what’s going to happen when we perceive such realities in a more aware way, knowing that there is more than one way to experience such realities? The answer is of course these realities will change according to our new awareness of being able to experience these realities in different ways. These realities are not permanently fixated to certain mentalities; they can be change and are often changed by becoming more aware or ignorant like what has happened in human history many times over.

This upside down world pertains to a world that thinks it’s fixated to a certain mentality that defines it’s existence, it’s this mentality that creates such realities in the first place but this doesn't mean we have to stay fixated to such mentalities, however, while existing in such realities, we can go beyond this fixation that there is no wrong and right way to experience realities, there is only different ways to experience such realities.

So are these made up realities/worlds illusions?

No, for the main reason there is no right or wrong therefore there are no conscious states of illusions and non-illusions, only different ways to experience these types of consciousness’s and related realities and the mentalities that these realities create, for only in an upside down reality can there be wrong and rights, illusions and non-illusions. 

P.S. This subject isn't easy to explain so I hope this post wasn't too hard to understand. I also had a dream in relation to this topic that was in three parts, I found at this stage such a perplexing dream was too hard to explain so I excluded it even though it would further explain what I experienced recently in more detail.
