Have you made a choice yet?
There is a beauty to the mind when it has not yet made up its mind about what it is present to as an experience, it means we are present and fully there with what is in view, whatever it may be…
When undecided we have not yet documented it, filed it away, believing we know what it is, we may in fact choose to not know what it is, to not decide, and this opens the way for more of what is in view to be appreciated fully…
The mind, at any moment, is either an open portal, or a thing of storage and conveniently filed ideas, be they wrong or right, the moment they go to storage, the moment that kind of decision about a thing is made, that we know what it is, we are no longer seeing what is there, but what is in our mind, as it ignores what it already thinks it knows, or substitutes what it feels it does not want to know with what it already knows…
It, whatever it is can be, anything you happen to come across, can mean a million things, even the simplest of objects, however, it only ever is what it is. The undecided, open, and relaxed mind see’s this more readily, and so perceives a much deeper view of reality than the very fixed and decided mind…
As true as this is however, it is also relatively true that on the level of daily life we have to make these clear choices, these decisions. It is an art to hold both worlds clear and in perspective, to honor ones true self, and yet, don a bit of a costume to get a few things done in life which have very little, if anything to do with that self, in fact, in a way, they are the total absence of it…
How strange it is to be so deeply interested and spun up in a dream of not-self, believing that to be the self, and the route through which the self is known, where the only road out is to admit it, to get deep down dirty honest and say it like it is, we is fooling ourselves, nothing here takes us back but keeps us from…
Yet, we are here, and hold a reality in play, and from what I can tell, the best thing we can do is find ways to reveal this simple truth, to ourselves so we can do our true job, and to others so they can begin to free themselves also…
Every time we focus exclusively, without also including the entire universe in our focus, then we get to hold that as a personal fixation, enough of these equals an obscuring mind, that we have to lug about and power up all the time, play out, as some odd scripted drama…
I believe there is a scripted play, and we get a clear choice, the one choice really, do our version of it, a ramshackle collection of our minds own ideas, which becomes a drama, or, the ultimate version of it, as it was ‘divinely’ scripted, which becomes a love of the play…
The key is letting go of our version and trusting the real version will be there ready and waiting for us, if we can’t do this, then we have little option but to act out our own various mad ideas in place of what we could actually be playing out…
It seems the hardest thing of all, to accept our ultimate reality, that which is our deepest truth, and the easiest thing to go along with the ideas we gathered in mind, however, if you’ll pause and notice, it is actually not very easy to do that, and causes a lot of pain, and it is in fact easiest to simply be whom and what you most deeply are…
Yet, we still make this difficult, or, it appears to be difficult, and we can make up many fabulous stories why it should be difficult, how there are things to do first, there are things to be before we ultimately and simply be…
Bizarre ain’t it?!
