Another bright day.  Finished a two day training class.  What I learned most, or reconfirmed is that I am meant to see the big picture and not get wrapped up in the details.  That is where my talents are.  That is where I can make the biggest difference in applying whom that I am to whatever situation is at hand at the moment.  Think from the highest perspective that you can muster.  And do so for as long as you can stand it.  In doing so, you will see what only you can see and know what only you can know in the way that you know it.  It matters not what others see.  Each has their own job to do and will migrate to it gradually.  It is for you to allow this to unfold as it will and notice what it is that you see.  You are definitely an observer, but not a scholar.  You are not objective in how you observe.  You tend to make everything that you see into a part of you and your world.  At the same time, there is much that you do not see.  You still have heavy blinders on, and some might say rose colored glasses.  Yet, that is a subjective choice in how you experience the world that you know.

Where is all of this leading?  It seems that I never really know.  It flows where it will.  I gladly sit back and allow it to do so.  I have no need for it to go in any direction over any other direction.  Besides, the sense is that it is not my job to provide such direction.  Consciousness herself knows where she is taking us ... and it is on a grand adventure.  Grand, indeed!  This is the adventure of my life.  It is the adventure that is my life.  We cannot allow even a moment to be wasted, especially a moment.  For, in the end, the moment is all that there is.  Hmm ... that is how we live a fuller life, we make each moment last, we make each moment memorable.  And, in the end, we will have indeed lived a rich and full life.  This is not hard to do.  It is simply a matter of choosing to do it and then doing what it takes to stick to our choice.  It may take awhile for our bodies or the universe to realize that we are serious.  But, if we are persistent, the changes will come.  Such is spiritual law.  Manifestation follows thought, it is that simple.  With our thoughts, we create our world.  Buddha said something to that effect.

Why is it that I am still here?  What is it that I have yet to learn from my present circumstances and lifestyle?  There are other people who are happier.  Productivity at work or in this expression is not the key to that.  So, what is it that would truly make me happy?  Is there anything that could do this?  Wow, it seems that I've set the happiness bar for myself way too high, so high that there is almost no way to achieve it.  Clearly, it is time for this to change.  I need to make it easy for me to be happy regardless of what I experience.  Some people have a threshold for pain ... it seems that we need one for happiness as well, one that is set low enough to exceed regularly.   The founding fathers spoke of the pursuit of happiness as being an inalienable right.  However, pursuit does not necessarily result in achieving that which we pursue.  This brings up another idea ... it is the journey, not the destination that matters in life.  The destination is the same for all of us, a death that returns our bodies dust to dust.  But, the consciousness within is not so easily parted with.  She remains to see another day, in another way.  Actually, she is beyond all time as we know it.  What makes us experience time as a continuum?  And, how do we get beyond this?  Is it really required for what we are meant to learn and to experience here in flesh?  Everything we are told shows that from the grandest collections of galaxies to the smallest subatomic parts, space is primarily a vacuum ... literally EMPTY SPACE.  What keeps things structured are the interactions of a small number of forces that operate on several scales of magnitude.  But, what determines how I see myself, how I see others, and how others see me?  Do we focus on similarities or on differences?  Similarities give us continuity, familiarity, and relationship.  Differences yield diversity and potentially interesting behavior.  Both have their utility.  Both provide an opportunity for the richness of life to be experienced.  However, individuals will have preferences as to which is more valuable in their life.  Here we see the order versus chaos continuum once again with similarity = order and diversity = chaos.  Infinite similarity would indeed be perfect order but would also be boring.  Infinite diversity would be perfect chaos.  It too would be boring, and probably frightening and exhausting, having no form to hang on to.

The void.  Why does that interest me so?  Why is it so important to stay on the fringe between the known and the unknown?  It is the unknown that has attracted me as long as I can remember.  It has to be a key part of why I am here.  Find your mission and you'll discover your happiness.  You particularly made this difficult to force you to search where others do not look.  For you, it is not a matter of setting the bar lower.  That simply will not do.  Rather, you must realize that you can easily surpass the bar height, no matter how high it is set.  Yes, that comes across as grandiose, but that doesn't make it any less correct.

Interesting.  As I look at the screen, it seems to be textured with variations that move even as I stare at it overall.  I don't know what causes this subtlety or even distortion of perception.  Though, it is similar to the dancing lights syndrome with digital clocks that I have been noticing for years.  Now, it seems that the screen is bouncing up and down as well.  All this via a single sense.  What happens when all five senses are working full bore?  How much distortion is there in the information that we experience?  How would we even know that it is distortion?  What constitutes the limits of what can be sensed versus the limits of what we can directly sense?  When we use instruments to extend our senses, how real is what we perceive?  Is not everything illusion anyway?  What makes one illusion more precious than another.

I AM THAT I AM THAT YOU ARE!   Be Happy and Create Well!

LOVE,

Wayne
