An Internalized Worldview

For most people on planet Earth - you know, the third rock from the Sun - the physical world is Way Larger than the inside of their house, and Way Way Larger than the inside of their own head. After all, this is so obvious that to mention it here or anywhere, opens one to ridicule: "What are you talking about? Of course it is larger, just 'look around!'"

Of course it is larger...

UNTIL You look around!

Until one has actually LOOKED, and SEEN this for themselves, the external world - with its billions and trillions and zillions of bits, pieces, parts, constituents, details, features, characteristics, attributes, specifics, aspects (that about covers it), most of which is virtually UNKNOWN, and the rest is totally UNKNOWABLE - certainly appears larger in every possible way. Right? Even with all that you know about yourself: your name, address, job title, and thousands of details about yourself, your likes, dislikes, and many other things, all of that pales in comparison. Like the ratio between Zero and Infinity. So, again, which is larger, the external world, or your internal world? "What are you talking about? Of course the external world is larger, just 'look around!'" 

It is due to this obviousness, that most people alive today, and in every generation, are more interested in the external world, of things, people, places, movies, restaurants, clubs, and stuff to do - which includes everything about their physical body (the clothes they wear, the tattoos, make-up, health aids and dietary supplements they apply to it) - than the tiny in comparison "Internal World of the Mind."

However

"What lies behind you and what lies in front of you,

pales in comparison to what lies inside of you."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Here's another one:

Our minds are finite, and yet even in these circumstances of finitude 

we are surrounded by possibilities that are infinite, 

and the purpose of life is to grasp as much as we can 

out of that infinitude. 

Alfred North Whitehead 

Of course it is larger in there... JUST look around!

It is due to this obviousness, that only a few people, here and there in any generation, are more interested in the "Internal World of the Mind" than the external world of stuff. Virtually ALL their spare time - if not most of their non-spare time - is spent investigating, searching, exploring, experimenting, researching, considering, pondering the operations of the Control System, and the Master Control Program running the show behind the scene, always unnoticed, unsuspected, spinning out the scripts and plays and activities in which we all - from pre-birth to post-death - are unwilling, and certainly unknowing, participants.

And if you doubt even a word of any of this...

JUST look around!
