Clarity is the stability of our worldview,
and it is the confidence in that stability.
Thus, when someone achieves Clarity, and allows themselves to be conquered by it, they begin to have the sensation of seeing things more and more clearly.
The world becomes clear.
Clarity is our ability to fix the assemblage point in a certain way of seeing the world.
This gives rise to a conviction that wards off the unknown and the fear of it.
Naturally, the world has a coherence within this vision.
and with that comes the feeling of security of being able to predict the course of things.
The more we surrender to mental clarity, the more convinced we become of our worldview.
The more certain we are of being right,
and of understanding and seeing reality more accurately than others.
At an extreme point, we may begin to believe that we are sober and impartial, and that all who do not see what we see are wrong, ignorant, blind, or deluded.
With that, we become impatient and hasty,
brave and fearless warriors,
or people who end up playing the fool,
as the nagual Juan Matus says.
Clarity is a highly challenging enemy,
because there is no reason to doubt it: our convictions about reality seem to be confirmed in our experiences. And so we become more and more convinced that we have no reason to doubt ourselves, until we become blind to other possibilities of the assemblage point and see nothing but our own certainties.
We will be clear until we die, we will not be dominated by Fear again, but we will no longer learn and will not truly advance further towards Knowledge.
The way to challenge it, as the ancients indicate,
is to actively doubt Clarity. To consider it almost as if it were a deception.
Carefully and attentively measure our expectations before making decisions and acting.
And use it only to observe, but not to draw conclusions about things.
By acting this way, we will become more aware of our expectations, both positive and negative.
And we will be able to perceive the relationship between our dominant expectations and our experiences.
One of the characteristics of surrendering to Clarity is the very fear of losing Clarity, the fear of questioning the truthfulness of our worldview.
Therefore, we project the responsibility for our negative experiences onto others.
But by challenging it, we will better perceive over time the relationship between our negative experiences and our negative expectations that we previously chose to ignore, of which we were not aware.
Eventually, the time will come when we realize what the Toltecs call the “mirror of perception.”
We will realize that what was and has been at stake all this time was not being right, but simply the fact that our own convictions are reflected back to us.
As the nagual Juan Matus said, the world we perceive is a reflection on the walls of our bubble. And what is being reflected is our own worldview. The interpretation we are, consciously or not, choosing to believe.
We will perceive that as our own conviction and assemblage point position changes, experiences also change.
We will perceive that the reality we see is not the same for everyone.
That other beings are also experiencing their convictions being reflected back to themselves, in as much a real way as ourselves.
That there is a different version of the world happening for each different person, in each different bubble.
That the world was showing itself according to our convictions not because we were right about it,
but because through them we were intending a certain assemblage point position and a certain flow of experiences.
And as we become aware that the way we manage our link with Intent is what determines our experience of reality,
our Clarity will naturally lose command.
We will perceive that it was just a point before our eyes. One possible reality among many others.
And through this understanding, the wings of perception will begin to open, and these many other realities will be within our reach.
We will finally have reached Power.
Note: Many confuse Clarity with Lucidity, or Silent Knowledge itself, the awareness of the link with the Spirit. These are very different things.
Silent Knowledge is the Knowledge itself that makes a man or woman, a man or woman of Knowledge.
