What makes me go on so? It is not me, but the source within me. But, is not that source also a part of me, rather than apart from me? There is an exercise ... that I am. This involves the realization that whatever can be described as that is a part of what I am. This is a powerful realization, one that can be made time after time as we successively integrate more of what is into our reality and understanding of Self. And, is this not what we are here to do, at least to some degree? This is true for those of us that came to be integrators. But, this may not be everyone. Just because something seems right for me, does not necessarily make it right for others. It is for each of us to find our own path ... choosing to stand on the shoulders of giants preferably, but that is a personal choice for us to make. How we make that choice, however, will clearly define our destiny. Most live lives of mediocrity, not knowing that the are better than that, that they could have made a difference with their lives. Actually, when you get down to it, mediocrity is a harsh judgement. We all make a difference with our lives. Perhaps it is with our families, friends, co-workers, clients or even strangers that we meet. A simple smile can make a difference. Just listening to someone can make a difference. Providing a service to someone can make a difference, the specific difference coming from how the service is provided. Each of do many things that make a difference every day. We need to make sure we don't sell ourselves short. Also, we need to be careful to ensure that the difference that we make is positive where it can be. There is already enough pain and suffering in the world. We don't need to be doing things that contribute to more of that.
How I love this expression. Yes, LOVE! It is something that I can do that is different than anything that I have seen anyone else do. And, I have done a lot of reading, so I have some idea of what I am talking about here. Here, intuition flows into creative expression. The words come one by one forming ideas that ever amaze me. My vocabulary is somewhat limited. I have never been one to use a dictionary. Yet, limited though it may be, it is sufficient for conveying a lot. There is something to be said about keeping things simple. In fact, simplicity is one of the major signs that we truly understand something. The more complex the explanation, the further from truth we seem to be.
Symbol systems ... everything that is manifest is information, is
symbols. Yes, everything. This alone makes the concept of a
holodeck from Star Trek
viable. It also gives credence to movies like The Matrix. What it doesn't
explain is consciousness. Though, even here, could this not be a
complicated form of information in motion? Is there anything real
except vibration? Is not awareness simply vibration becoming
aware of aspects of itself? Understood that vibrations can
become quite complex. But at the root of things, simple processes
are at play. Just think of the ecology of the earth.
Landscapes are shaped by a handful of forces of wind, water, gravity,
etc ... resulting in erosion over time. The Grand Canyon,
Yosemite, and Bryce Canyon are three notable examples that come to
mind.
LOVE,
