For the past year I have been posting on the political, religious (those are far too intertwined for my comfort) and life issues. We seem to flow from one world wide or national drama to the next. This flow happens with very little respites as we go from one challenge into the next. Sadly, all these things are going on and I don’t ever really delve into the various daily dramas of my own corporeal personal journey as an earthbound being.
Frankly, I am thankful for the blessings of the many ongoing distractions that keep me from really focusing on that constant movie that takes place before my eyes each day. I mean I am grateful for each day I open my eyes and find that I am fortunate enough to be able to get my stiff muscles coordinated enough to lift me out of bed, take a morning walk or work out. But after every imagined challege I keep thinking “ah now that’s settled”. Then I realize that the next moment shows up. As long as I am living, another challenge will appear. In reality ‘life is fluid and nothing is ever really settled.”
As I opened my eyes this morning, it was suppose to be a new year. That’s fine in terms of establishing a linear frame of referece. But the truth is, it is the planet earth taking another juant around the sun, That will take approximately 365 days to complete. It is the planets journey but it’s still in very small measure, my life. Now that isn’t something to take for granted. In the next 365 days many corporeal persona that I am aware of will exit this ride. They will leave at some moment in time, they won’t ask my permission, they may or may not get to say ‘Goodbye. Without much ceremony the animating lifeforce (energy) will step off the transport we think of as the living realm. They will no longer be physical beings with names, cultures, history, attributes, flaults, and they’ll just be memories that we choose to assign to how we perceived them based on our individual interactions with them.
What I have come to formulate as my own understanding is this. We are each born as ego centered personas into political environments of culture, socialization, climate, theology or spirituailty, previledge or oppression of differing degress. At some point some of us realize that we have a purpose, that purpose is to understand that beyond the distractions of existing as personas, we are not the perceivers of the magic of life, we are something much more.
We are the life-force or the energy that utilizes the persona to transmute energy waves, frequencies, and vibrations into what we perceive as the physical universe. We are the quantum consciuosness that is far too vast to be experienced in physical form so the persona was created as sort of a seonsory data collector and translator to convert the consciousness into the physical materialized manifestaion that is thought of as life. It is a jarring and overwhelming sensory happening. It is so overwhelming that many lose themsleves in the sensory experience and believe themselves to actually be the ego that filters the whole experinece of living for the persona.
Over time the ego becomes so strong and self sustaining that it also belives that it is existence and not merely a integral part of transmuting the magic into the physical living experience. The ego strives to make the most of the physical existence at the expense of us coming into understanding of our higher spiritual selves. Why? Because once this understanding takes place that we truly are the spiritual consciousness and not the ego then we change the whole dynamic of how we perceieve our lives. The ego remains necessary but not in control.
As physical beings, we suffer as long as we struggle to remain in control of the unknowable. We only know the past and the current moment. The future, even the how the next momemt will fully manifest is unknowable. We can dream about what we may desire of the future, we can want what we dream, but very few of us in the corporeal form can know the future. It is our spirit that observes and guides us to some extent.
The more we become aware of spirit and surrender ego to it, the more enlightened we become as we move toward our exit on the journey around the sun on this transport we call life. The less we distract ourselves by being totally awed by the magic of living, or being so overwhemled that we become numb and bored, the more we are able to freely experince the wonders of living.
These are just a few insights that crossed into my thoughts as we begin another journey around the sun. Be well, even more be open to expand your understanding.
