The Ontological War

At this stage of their relationship, most people might not think a deep connection is developing between Ann and Graham in Sex, Lies, and Videotape. After all, she tells her therapist Graham is “interesting,” and that isn’t much to go on when considering the ontological depth of the relationship between two people.
But there were two [...]

In the past, almost all the people who started increasing their degrees of realself did not know that the realself, realself-to-realself relationships, and realself life exist. These people were drawn forward by their wakening realselves, but consciously they didn’t have any idea what was ahead of them ontologically.

It may be obvious, but in case it isn’t the main reason for this blog is to help make humankind less alienated ontologically and eventually to end our ontological alienation completely.

In an ERLC statement about its public policy battles of 2009, Land and ERLC VP Barrett Duke write:

As people become more their realselves they become less alienated ontologically, and they develop a deeper and closer bond with reality and with the natural world—the life that exists other than our own. Men and women who reach this ontological state realize that the natural world is in fact their true home, and they develop [...]

Most of the people who increase their degrees of realself start from the socialself world, being mostly their socialselves, and having mostly socialself-to-socialself relationships. Biographies show that there are a few people who apparently had a strong sense of their realselves for as long as they can remember, but most people start out life as [...]
