Are we the Inner or Outer reality?

[Aion]

I think it's like the difference between "looking out" and "looking in". So if you are a point of consciousness and you focus 'outward' you are looking at the Outer Planes, out in to the world of external perception. If that same point instead focuses 'inwards' then you are looking at the Inner Planes, in to the world of inner perception. The outside is space/time. The inside is time/space. You can think of it that "outer perception" is expansive, it expands outwards, but "inner perception" is contractive, it moves inwards. Interesting then that in Kabbalah the first movement of Nothingness is Inwards, a contraction or tzimtzum.

i think that when we incarnate or 'activate a body' as Ra might put it we expand outwards to formulate and experience external perception, but when are disincarnate we are contracted and oriented inwards. Also similarly when we dream we are not going totally inwards but only part way, same as when we meditate. I suppose at the height of some practices there is also unity and death by going deeply inwards.

I think that there are 'thresholds' of concentration and expansion, like concentric spheres. So it is between these thresholds that we have 'planes'.

So I guess to answer the question of the thread, we are the fulcrum betwixt both.
