One is thrown into self-doubt even in moments of great victory: it simply cannot be true. In the book "The Magus" something like this happens when the main character realizes he is not the main character; or it is like discovering at the age of 25 that one is an adopted child, or a young child realizing that his parents have betrayed him. There is a haunting possibility that one's life may be the most painful tragic/comedy ever created.<br>A dimension of this experience is a sense of awe, that is fear and fascination. The fear is that nothing is legitimate about one's self. One is the jackass of history and somehow missing some clue as to what is really going on. The fascination is that although existence itself seems to be laughing at one and one does not know why, one finds one's self joining in the joke. The decision is to not die of shame; to stand before what is happening and not try to escape. After this it is no longer possible to believe that things are going to get better and better. There is a strange sense of selfhood as one knows there is nothing to lean on for support.<br></span></div><div class="ydp6f688d22views-field ydp6f688d22views-field-FM-25" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif;"><div class="ydp6f688d22views-label ydp6f688d22views-label-FM-25 ydp6f688d22field-label" style="border: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: 1em; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase; margin-top: 15px !important;">CONTEXT: </div><span class="ydp6f688d22field-content" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">This state is number 13 in the ICA [Other World in the midst of this World].<</span></div><div class="ydp6f688d22views-field ydp6f688d22views-field-FM-30" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif;" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><div class="ydp6f688d22views-label ydp6f688d22views-label-FM-30 ydp6f688d22field-label" style="border: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: 1em; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase; margin-top: 15px !important;">BROADER: </div><span class="ydp6f688d22field-content" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><a href="http://encyclopedia.uia.org/en/development/12322340" title="Infinite passion" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(0, 51, 102); outline: none;" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Infinite passion</a></span></div></div><div class="ydp6f688d22views-field ydp6f688d22views-field-FM-30" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif;" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div class="ydp6f688d22views-field ydp6f688d22views-field-FM-30" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif;" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">from <a href="http://encyclopedia.uia.org/en/development/12331350" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" style="font-family: "times new roman", "new york", times, serif;" class="enhancr_card_2777259623">Essential dubiety | Human Development | The Encyclopedia of World Problems</a></div><div><br></div><div class="link-enhancr-placeholder enhancr_card_2777259623" contenteditable="false"></div><div><div><div class="ydp7f150ab9views-field ydp7f150ab9views-field-FM-16" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif;"><h1 class="ydp7f150ab9field-content ydp7f150ab9page__title ydp7f150ab9title" style="border-width: 0px 0px 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(197, 197, 197); margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px 0px 4px; font-size: 37px; line-height: 51.79999923706055px; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: -1px; font-family: brandon-grotesque, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif !important;">Infinite passion</h1></div><div class="ydp7f150ab9views-field ydp7f150ab9views-field-FM-24" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif;"><div class="ydp7f150ab9views-label ydp7f150ab9views-label-FM-24 ydp7f150ab9field-label" style="border: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: 1em; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase; margin-top: 15px !important;">DESCRIPTION: </div><span class="ydp7f150ab9field-content" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">This is an experiential trek in the [Land of Mystery], within the ICA [Other World in the midst of this World], when the individual is aware of adoring being.
