Less ego / more conscious = more perceptive of fakeness?

[quantumspiral]

Started taking meditation for seriously around a month ago, although I've been doing it on / off for around a decade.

Suddenly, it feels like I can see through the mask / fakery / schtick that many people put on. It's something about stepping outside of the ego let's you be more perceptive as you're detached from the whole rivalry that happens whenever two egos collide which distorts reality.

It feels like everyone is fake. Anybody else experienced this?

Yes, absolutely! I find it quite confronting to be more aware of darker ego patterns in people close to me.

Sometimes yes, but sometimes its not fakery but their genuine behaviour they see as very authentic for them and necessary.

Many times what we see as fakery in others and triggers us is actually sides we lack in ourselves and want subconsciously to integrate, even if in a very different or maybe a healthier way.

So the answer is complex and depends.

More perspective ofc.

Sometimes you see their fakery

Sometimes you see your fakery in them

Sometimes you see the fakery they don't see in themselves

Sometimes you see through them the fakery you'd otherwise not see in yourself

Sometimes you see a projection of fakery emanating from various independent ego games

Sometimes you see the complex web of societal dogma flowing through everyone's subconscious materialize

Sometimes you see the very mechanism that creates and leads to fakery in all the ways necessary to continue material existence

Sometimes you see a very wide-lensed self-honest assessment of how every piece of reality perfectly synchronizes with the other across all holarchies to the extent where it all fits together in an irrecognizably fake way beyond all ideas of what fakery entails as it merges with the truth for it is the truth and still further in ever emerging layers of itself contains inconsistency which can not rightfully be interpreted as intentioned fakeness, and yet on the journey of evolution can potentially and even usefully be seen as such, and yet even beyond that level, there's still more to it, that actually...

@Nemra Peak! I love it, both as a format and as a reference!

Wouldn't mind doing a 20+ one mixed together with other similar formats.

And then shuffle the images and add different styles with unique accents and motives.

Nah, too much work, gotta sleep, thx, byeeee! 😁
