The real power of
metatheater is
that it provide a way to see the
illusion of mind and the perception
mind has created based on the experiences it has had. The theory is
quite simple.
The reality we think we experience is often only an illusion for we
do not always see or know the real truth of what is occurring. We
live in an illusion about reality and how we think. We live in
reality and respond to the world we experience based on a perception
mind has created based on the experiences we have had. We response
to the truth of what is before us in the
illusion of mind.
Whenever we are faced with a situation, we overlay one of the
response patterns to life we developed. In doing so, we do not see
reality for what it is but rather we see what our response pattern
tells us about what we experience. We respond to the truth of what
is in any experience of, or in Creation, based on what we think and
believe. We believe we experience Creation when in reality we are
only experience what we think and believe. Hence, the statement,
mind is an illusion for how it perceives reality is not real but
filtered and biased by what it believes
If we create an illusion, a theatric performance of some type, and
we allow ourselves to respond to our role or part in that
performance as if it were real, we respond to the created illusion
with the truth of
mind. In that truth we can see the
illusion of mind. We would be showing the reality within our being and how we
perceive the world. We would see the illusion created by our mind.
The way we do this is to creates an external experience and then
responds to that creation as if it is real. By creating an imaginary
world or an imaginary space through our
creativity perspective, we can
explore any and all aspects of a given topic. Since the experience
is created, we will they see how we are perceiving our experiences
and be able to see the filters we are using to color the experiences
that we have. However, what we feel is real and is the reality we
experience.
If we create a theatrics, an illusionary experience of creation that
does not reflect the truth of what is, we will response to what is
created based on what we think and believe. In that response, we can
see the truth of
mind. How we response and feel as to what the
imaginary creation presents will allow is to
bring those feelings
back into the real world and
understand what we believe about any topic and how our
creative life energy is or is not free to flow. In the awareness of the illusion
we carry, we can change it.
Although we would experience an illusion, a play acted out which was
created, we would respond based on the reality within our being. The
information that surfaces can be quite revealing for it is telling
us how we respond to any situation in life that is similar. What we
begin to see is that what we are experiencing in life is not
necessarily the reality of what is actually happening but rather our
perception of what is happening. However, until we see how we are
responding to what happens, we can never transcends that reality
within our own being.
By varying the theatrics, we can surface whatever aspect we wish to
explore. This is the essence and whole basis of
metatheater for
surfacing the
nonconscious influences and filters in our
creative
endeavors. This may be frightening and cause us to withdrawal from
the experience we are creating. In any case, as we begin to see and
understand the filters we have, we can begin to see the reality of
what is, as it is.
Meta-theater can be used to reveal any aspect of our being that we
chose. Meta-theater can be most powerful where we have a pattern in
our life and we don’t really know or understand how we have created
that pattern. Thorough a series of well designed theatrical
performances that approach the issue from a variety of angles and
perspectives we can pin point exactly what type and kind of
situation triggers the response or what angle of approach is most
sensitive. In accessing this information, we are then free to
explore the cause behind that response.
For example, we get angry whenever someone seem to tell us what to
do as to how we should live our life. If we stage a few theatrical
performances where we experience different situations and or
different types and kinds of people telling us what to do, we will
quickly see what situation and which type and kind of person elicits
the most powerful response. That then become the key to exploration
of why is it that this situation and this type and kind of person
triggers the response that it does. Often the
metatheater will cause
memories of the past to surface what is giving rise to our response.
However, it is also not uncommon for these kinds of situation where
there is no obvious experience in this lifetime to trigger what many
describe as the past life memory. It is quite fascinating to see how
much of our personality has nothing to do with the experiences of
this lifetime.
For some,
meta-theater performances are an enjoyable form of
entertainment to see what one has buried deep within their being.
Obviously the more the meta-theater can be done and allowing oneself
to
surrender
to the role in the spontaneous innocence of
child like play the more enjoyable and revealing it can be.
