Time to muse once again.  It has been a very busy week with long days that kept me away from this communication that I so love.  Oh well, that happens sometimes.  We find time to express when we can.  Further, not just any time, but times when we are particularly moved to express.  Spirit would have it no other way.  I am in her service.  By her grace, I am able to do what I do, not only here but in all aspects of my life.  One thing that has come from this week is the realization that I am right for the job that I presently do.  Somehow, I am suited for it.  Yet, at the same time there is something missing.  This does not fully use all of my talents and abilities.  Though, it has allowed me to discover abilities that I didn't really know that I had.  For one thing, I can work with people when I need to, both up and down the management chain.  Further, my work is respected.  That says a lot.  If only what I do here received the same level of respect and had the same amount of influence.

This expression will have the impact that it is meant to have, no more and no less, despite what I desire for it.  You might say that it has a life of its own.  Yes, it was created through me, but somehow it is not mine ... no more than children "belong" to their parents.  We borrow them for a time and foster their growth, but they are individual spirits in their own right, and they will be free, enchain them though we might.  In a very real way, these works are as children to me.  Though, I have not engaged fully in nurturing them so that they can take their rightful place in the world.  I figured that as works of spirit, they would naturally gravitate to where they belonged.  But, it seems this is not to be the case ... or, at least not yet.  However, inside of me, I know this expression to be of great value.  Why?  Because it reveals how spirit operates through us in a way that is not revealed in the same manner elsewhere.  What more could one ask of any expression than to take us to the very edge of the known realms of consciousness.  Yes, I would be an explorer of consciousness.  I would live my life differently than others.  Perhaps this puts me on the very edge of sanity.  If so, so be it.  I would rather be there than anywhere else.  Yes, it is that clear for me.

Making a difference in the world matters to me.  And, not just any difference but a big difference.  Ultimately, will that be my destiny?  I believe that it will but ultimately only time will tell.  Hmm ... a 25 day in a 27 month in a 26 year.  25 x 26 x 27.  That is 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5 x 13 = 450 x 13 = 05850 = The Strength of Utopia on Earth.  Is that not what I speak of here?  Is that not what Beyond Imagination is all about?

How do we decide what services we are willing to consume?  Of all of the goods and services available, how do we decide what it is that we want?  Yes, affordability plays a role.  However, we find a way to get those things that we just must have.  There  is a law of desire and need that comes into play.  We create the means for fulfilling our needs, whatever those may be.  But how do we find what services are available?  The bottom line is that we search for what is missing in our lives.  For me, that search involves finding whatever meaning I can find.  And, meaning is found hidden within all of the major symbol systems.  I just encountered an artist who paints Soul Self portraits filled with such meaning.  I'm sure she is not the only one.  However, my sense is that I was attracted to her site for a reason.  I don't even remember how I found it.
