You observe the outside aspects of objects. Your physical senses permit you to perceive the exterior forms to which you then react, but your physical senses to some extent force you to perceive reality in this manner, and the inside vitality within matter and form is not so apparent.

Nothing exists – neither rock, mineral, plant, animal, or air – that is not filled with consciousness of its own kind. So you stand amid a constant vitality commotion, a gestalt of aware energy, and you are yourselves physically composed of conscious cells that carry within themselves the realization of their own identity, that cooperate willingly to form the corporeal structure that is your physical body.
You are to some extent a portion of other consciousness. There are no limitations to the self. There are no limitations to the potentials.

The ego is a jealous god, and it wants its interest served. It does not want to admit the reality of any dimensions except those within which it feels comfortable and can understand. It was meant to be an aid, but it has been allowed to become a tyrant. Even so, it is much more resilient and eager to learn than is generally supposed. Its curiosity can be of great value.
If you have a limited conception of reality, then your ego will do its best to keep you in the small enclosed area of your accepted reality.
