Resurrection 4 Resurrection and Reality (Cont.)
The eighth reality is belief. Belief moves us into the inner realities that drive how we manage our life experience. The first and third realities, self-consciousness and aloneness, depend on how and why we manage what we know to be reality. What we believe about who we are, what we are and why we exist is the basis for how we process our experience.
The ninth reality is needs. We are conscious of the needs proceeding from what we discover about being an individual in the midst of the realities that demand daily decisions. There are relational needs, intellectual needs, emotional needs and physical needs all of which are broken down into areas that we have to prioritize.
The tenth reality involves prioritizing our needs. Prioritizing needs produces tensions, desires, hopes, fears, dreams, goals; the stuff of our inner being. This is where we realize we have to work at our humanity. It is at this point we see a shift from the recognition of the realities we face to the insecurities involved in how we meet them.
The eleventh reality follows, loss of intimacy with God. There is a gap in intimacy with others, with what it means to have a relationship and how we bridge the gap. We have lost contact with the source of our being.
The twelfth reality is fear, the result of the loss of intimacy with God. The interesting thing about fear is that to deny we are afraid is the proof that we are afraid of fear. We fear what we can’t see both in ourselves and in others. We fear what we don’t know and understand. The very fact that we have to ‘face our fears’ is an internal working out of our aloneness. One extension of our fear is our pride. The fact of pride is seen in our need to defend ourselves when we sense in our mind, our heart, and our emotions, that our worth is being challenged. The fear of appearing not to ‘have it together’ causes that inner reaction.
The thirteenth reality following on the heels of fear is a moral sense. There is a need to be right as opposed to wrong. We are very aware that we have to make judgments about what is right and wrong and then act on those judgments. Fear, pride, anxiety is all mixed up in that process because action exposes us and exposure even if you ‘feel’ right is laced with a certain amount of trepidation. Add to these ingredients guilt, remorse, regret, denial and we see the wheels of our aloneness spinning in a relentless cycle.
A fourteenth reality we all share is a need to blame. When our personal worlds are threatened, out of balance and not meeting our expectations, we immediately look outside ourselves for a reason. Someone or something out there is to blame. This indicates that we share another extension of fear and that is the need to be in control. We want the world to fit our personal agenda. The problem with placing blame is that when the source is determined there is no satisfaction nor is there a change in circumstance.
More realities…stay tuned………
