Clarification of misconceptions

I have and had a lot of misconceptions that has caused me to misdirect my attention and action and be in general conflict within myself. I have resolved some of them in my architecture, largely owing to the virtue fields.
These are some of those resolutions that have been helpful for me:
Acceptance /= Approval
Stability /= Stagnation
Cyclicity /= Rhythm
Law /= Ethics
Love /= Attachment
Vairagya /= Aversion
Vairagya /= Rejection
Sociability /= Ability to connect
Reverence /= Fear
Arrogance /= confidence
Humility /= spineless
Oneness /= Sameness
Illusion /= False
Loyalty /= Faithfulness
Soft /= Weak
Stillness /= Stagnation
Freedom /= Irresponsibility
Certainty /= Clarity

That’s a very clear and insightful way of working with internal architecture.

What you’re essentially doing is separating fused concepts that the mind tends to automatically merge into one. This reduces internal contradiction and helps create more precise cognitive distinctions.

A lot of inner conflict comes from exactly these kinds of unconscious pairings, where two different states or values are treated as identical or mutually exclusive when they actually are not.

It’s interesting how many of these pairs sit at the core of emotional regulation, identity, and behavior.

Out of curiosity, did you find that this restructuring changed your emotional reactions directly, or more your decision-making process over time?

Here are a few more distinctions in the same format that might fit this kind of internal restructuring:

  • Discipline /= Restriction
  • Discipline /= Punishment
  • Emotions /= Truth
  • Thoughts /= Reality
  • Intensity /= Violence
  • Calm /= Numbness
  • Confidence /= Certainty
  • Certainty /= Rigidity
  • Control /= Awareness
  • Awareness /= Control
  • Acceptance /= Resignation
  • Detachment /= Indifference
  • Boundaries /= Separation
  • Independence /= Isolation
  • Responsibility /= Guilt
  • Vulnerability /= Weakness
  • Sensitivity /= Fragility
  • Growth /= Constant Pressure
  • Change /= Instability
  • Structure /= Limitation

Thank you for these! I have clearer and more centered decision making and a general state of peace as a result of this process.

I weigh my decisions a lot and spend a considerable time before making decisions, primarily because I have ideals for myself and want to act in accordance to those. So if any thought, emotion, action of mine seems to be in conflict with the pre-decided values, I question the eff out of it till I resolve it from all sides.

The more of these I have resolved, the more energy I have regained and a deep sense of peace pervades in me.

In regards to intensity, in my limited experience the most intense experiences are deep anger, hatred and also sexual desire when it first starts to pop up. I was not aware of the spectrum of emotions as a kid and a lot of my intensity I mistook for these things. Intensity is actually very useful once framed and channeled right. Since I had too much intensity as a kid and didn’t know how to channelize it, I boxed it as these things and repressed it, thus adversely governed my life.

We often mix different things into one pile, and exactly because of this conflicts arise. If you ask most people: “What is love? What is freedom? What is money?” - each will answer in his own way, because too many different meanings are put into these concepts.

If you perceive discipline as a restriction, it seems like something unpleasant. I myself used to think so. But now I understand: discipline gives enormous freedom. Although discipline is discipline, and freedom is freedom. Even Saturn I stopped perceiving as a symbol of restrictions.

The same with money. Behind money people hide many meanings: safety, power, importance, relationships, love, freedom, pleasure. Very often money is connected with freedom, considered the only guarantee of independence. But such a connection does not expand human possibilities, on the contrary it creates rigid subconscious limitations.

I am close to the concept of Access Consciousness: to remove all points of view, opinions, judgments, projections and expectations, to make absolutely everything “an interesting point of view.” That is, a point of view that does not become rigid and does not create limitations. It simply exists - and that’s all, but it does not limit us in any way, we do not defend it.

This is easy to explain with the example of money. Each of us thinks that money can be “right” or “wrong,” “good” or “bad,” “deserved” or “undeserved,” “hard” or “easy,” “big” or “small.” Each such point of view creates a huge number of limitations.

For example, if you live in the concept “good-bad” and divide people into “good” and “bad,” then, striving to be “good,” you will not accept money from those you consider “bad.” Because, according to your logic, money can be received only from “good” people.

The same concerns “little” and “a lot” of money. Imagine your income. If you receive only 10% of it per month - it seems “little.” And if the income increases ten times - it is “very much.” And most likely you will not accept such money, because: first, the perception “this is too much” creates tension; second, the thought appears that you must deserve it, that you will have to do something extra.

But if you remove the duality “little-a lot,” then money becomes simply energy. One dollar is the same energy as one hundred, ten thousand or a million. This removes barriers to receiving.

Therefore in Field Suggestion V3 I gave the idea of a field, to go beyond the concept of dualities, to come closer to life beyond limits - beyond concepts, beyond restrictions.

We create ourselves a huge number of such limitations. Even each of our words can be a limitation. We see something in reality and think: “It is like this.” But in fact we can choose how to perceive it and invent new concepts.

For example, we may invent: “Problems always happen on my trips.” Because once it happened, then a second time, and you make it your belief - read “program” - which begins to work constantly, because it becomes rigid, not an interesting point of view. But even this can be rewritten and easily create any new program.

For example: “I love when in my trips I am always lucky and everything works in the best way for me.” Once you travel with such intention - the trip turns out excellent. Twice you travel - also perfect. And then you can create a firm belief: “In my trips I am always lucky.” And that’s all - a new program.
We create our reality with our perception, we can choose what to think, we can create smth with our intention but we used to judge about everything a lot

I understand what you are saying and I hold the view that there needs to be a structure that we impose especially when it comes to dealing with people and money. I am providing an example which I have gone through- an option to make more money just by keeping my mouth shut. Money is just money and doesn’t matter through who or how it comes is great till not faced with ethical and moral choices. This is all a play and I am playing out my role here, I would like to play my role in a way that moves the consciousness in a specific direction, that includes not demonizing things as good or bad but also acting in a specific one way. I have been in the state you mention before, the one with structure works better for me.

I am not speaking of judgement here, but Viveka- it’s a Sanskrit word it’s not exactly intellect or discernment but something else.

I think of it as shape shifting, non dual awareness yet understanding the play is happening through me and if free will exists it’s in how I navigate this duality.

We are here to share our experiences.
Different points of view help us understand what else is possible and how things can be done, but the final choice is always up to the individual
