We absorb our basic structures about reality from our parents and society as belief. We interpret reality through those early childhood beliefs. The more unexamined beliefs or structures we hold about reality, the more we are asleep, acting in an automatic, robotic way, living in the levels of subjectivity of the lower ego. Our psychic energy exists in the psyche as either structures or energy. The more structures or beliefs we have, the less energy is available. The game of consciousness is to transform structures into energy, liberating ourselves from the structures, increasing free energy and abiding in the enlightened state until it is a permanent condition.
