+The inward-facing senses and the outward ones, per your need

The inward-facing and outward-facing senses

Neither the world outside nor inside us is founded on information from our sensory system, as the brain claims. Every experience is the brain’s fantasy. See Duality Hack #1.2. Hence, the inward and outward-facing senses only refer to where we perceive something to unfold.

So whether you see, hear, feel, or taste the abstract world of the inward-facing senses or the substantial world of the outward-facing senses, the brain has created your experiences from nothing to make them look like something. However, the abstract world of the inward-facing sense is an uncompleted version of the substantial world you experience with the outward-facing senses.

The abstract experiences of the inward-facing senses come about when you are not entirely focusing on being someone substantial in the world of the outward-facing senses. The little left of the belief in being substantial makes it possible to experience the abstractness of the inward-facing senses. In other words, when one appears as nobody in the world of the inward-facing senses, one has not entirely left the belief in being somebody. 

the abstract world of the inward-facing senses

We experience the abstract world of the inward-facing senses when time and space are not entirely considered real. However, the inward-facing senses’ experiences are not more real than the outward-facing senses.’ They both require more than one, and there is no more than which is One. Yet, the brain is not trying to deceive us with its experiences of more than one. We have asked it to make them so we can forget about oneness and feel excited as somebody in a world with more than one. [Photo: Alexius]

But the brain does not care if you prefer the world within or without. Both worlds make you feel so engaged that you believe there is more than One, which is the purpose of the brain. In other words, the experience of an abstract world, lightly processed by the brain from frequencies of nothing, and a substantial world, heavily processed by the brain from the same frequencies, only seem real because you want to believe there is more than One.

In the world of the outward-facing senses, we must constantly restrain ourselves per the expectations of others. But in the abstract world of the inward-facing senses, there is nobody to define us, so we go with the flow.

Of course, the above explanation about the inward and outward-facing senses, like anything else in a world with more than one, is mumbo jumbo. However, it makes sense if you want to expose your experiences are make-believe.

The empty breath is an automatic gear shift between the senses

The abstractness of the inward-facing senses may seem intimidating, but it is the reverse. In the world of the outward-facing senses, we are always afraid of not making it. But in the world of the inward-facing senses, we have nothing to live up to, thus no fear.

If you intend to appear in a world with more than one, it is best to multitask between the inward and outward-facing senses. Hence, you focus as needed in the world of the outward-facing senses and space out in the world of the inward-facing senses when nothing is required of you. Thankfully, the empty breath is an automatic gear shift between the outward and inward-facing senses. So, you go back and forth between them based on your present situation.

The empty breath syncs the inward and outward-facing senses

If you once have been connected with the empty breath, it remembers you, even though you go your own way. The empty breath is unaware that you believe you are a separate being in the low-frequency world of the outward-facing senses.

Yet, the empty breath senses the stress your belief seems to create, so it syncs your discomfort with the high-frequency world of the inward-facing senses. That is not because the world of inward-facing senses is more peaceful than the world of the outward-facing senses. However, the stress in the low-frequency world of the outward-facing senses does not appear disturbing in the high-frequency world of the inward-facing senses.

Furthermore, the body does not seem troublesome because the tensions experienced due to psychological worries about the body’s condition vanishes when perceived with the inward-facing senses per what and where we appear to be.

It is essential to accept that although everything looks the same as before you connected with the empty breath, the world of the outward-facing senses does not feel the same. At first, it may seem barren because you are no longer excited about something. Thankfully, you soon realise you prefer the empty breath’s indifference because it reveals the bliss of nothing in everything.

In the world of the outward-facing senses but not of it

As a teenager, Alexius’ life took a drastic turn when he was involved in an accident. The proportionality of the outward-facing senses and the inward ones was altered. The latter became the base for viewing the world of the outward-facing senses. Confused by this sudden change in perceiving the world, he returned home from the accident covered in blood and asked his mother, »Who am I?«

His distanced relation to the world of the outward-facing senses became his ‘new normal.’ But his parents thought he quickly returned to his usual self. That was because the proportionality between Alexius’ senses automatically made him appear per his parent’s expectations. However, Alexius was not aware that his parents and other people’s perception of him were fundamentally different from his own. His new self was not definitive but relative (see Duality Hack #5.4), with the empty breath syncing the senses per event.
