Living A Shared Fiction

Human reality is a shared fiction – a collection of beliefs that becomes a blanket of conformity. The Solomon Asch* experiment shows how quickly we can comply with a lie. Never ignore the desire of humans to please, due to fear.

Social conditioning is programming us from birth with ideas which are created to restrict our true nature of clarity. This world is held together by agreement rather than reasoning; the more one agrees to the established story, the deeper we remain trapped. It is this that makes us feel a constant and subtle discomfort.

Belief turns reality into a mind-game, maintaining chaos and friction. These intellectual games make human interaction a competitive struggle, rather than cooperation. 

Realisation awakens our true nature of pure consciousness which remains untouched by social conditioning. Individuals have the choice to see through their programming, rather than following unconscious patterns. Critical enquiry allows us to stop us playing others’ scripts.

A shared fiction is a shared illusion.
A shared fact is that we all see, but ignore.

* The Asch conformity experiments: participants were deceived about the true nature of the study, being told that it was a vision/perception test and not a social behaviour study. They were unaware that the other participants were acting.
