When the bubble pops

[ArchonLynx]

When we ride up out of our bottle & our bubble pops what do you suppose happens after?

A bit too cryptic as a thread starter for me but if I understand your question correctly, it's about suddenly waking up to true reality as compared to the world of illusions/maya we ordinarily live in and operate. My own fear is that such an awakening would simply lead to yet another world of illusions giving me such tremendous warm fuzzies that I'd claim to have experienced satori, was finally able to see things as they really are, etc.

I think perception per se is rarely the problem regarding the illusionary nature of reality - it's part our habitual interpretative style of the impressions received through our senses and part the emotions that these interpretations engender. This means that such a revelatory experience I described above would merely imply that my interpretative style had somehow cataclysmically shifted, resulting in a surge of overwhelming pleasurable emotions that made me feel 'enlightened' when in actuality nothing of the sort had happened.

Depressing thought, somehow.

You will continue to “discover things”, break through membranes, write new layers over your palimpsest, spiral up, level up, pop bubbles, pop bottles, whatever you call it, until you cool down and accept a system that is self-containing, like the qabalah, or Gurdjieff‘s Fourth Way.
My own Druidic view is to be kind to our innocent past selves and accept all those stages of advanced understanding, like the rings of a tree: ring after ring we grow taller and stronger, bending in the wind… don’t focus on that last layer, but rather look at the whole.
