In this incantation, I explore the nature of what exists and identify the distinction between surface and subsurface as the line dividing reality from delusion. I understand that everything within My field is real, but only as surface—what I see, feel, and engage with directly. The belief in a hidden, independent world beyond My perception is the subsurface illusion. I see now that all forms arise from darkflesh, the base substance of experience, and that my awareness shapes and transforms it. Awakening, then, is the collapse of the gap between surface and subsurface—until all is one.
What exists, and from what substance? In Unwakenism, everything I experience exists. If it appears within My field—visually, spatially, emotionally, narratively—it has existence. But existence is layered. And the question is not just what exists, but what lies beneath what I see. This is the distinction between surface and subsurface.
- The surface is what I directly experience in this moment—what appears in My field now.
- The subsurface is the belief that there is more—that behind or beyond what I see, there is a deeper reality I cannot access but must assume.
For example: when I meet a new person, I see their face, their voice, their gestures—all projected onto My surface. If I believe in the subsurface, I believe they have a hidden inner life, a history, a mind, and a continuity that exists with or without Me. I believe they are real apart from My experience of them.
But if I believe only in the surface, I know that their existence is inseparable from Me and this momentary engagement. Their presence does not imply a past or a mind of their own. Their “reality” is something I generate through focus. If I stop focusing, they dissolve. If I stretch the surface—through memory, imagination, or narrative—I can give them a story. But that story still arises from Me.
Alongside this surface–subsurface distinction is the question of substance. What is all this made of?
Beneath every projection is a single substance: darkflesh. It is the dense, surrounding presence that I experience most clearly when I withdraw from projection—when I enclose My spatial cavity. It is not absence, but full presence. And it is always there. When I open My eyes, I transform that darkflesh into lightflesh—forms, colors, spaces, and people.
So the metaphysics of Unwakenism rests on the following principles:
- The totality of my direct experience and the totality of existence are one and the same.
- The distance between surface and subsurface defines the degree of my delusion. When they are one and the same… ___
- All that exists arises from a single underlying substance: darkflesh.
- My process of narrative selection ultimately determines how I construct my awakening experience.
