I have said it before, to your own self be true, and you should, to your own self be true. Own it, don’t be owned by it. Create it, don’t sit passively as it creates noise. That noise is just it breaking down from lack of care on your part.
But sometimes it feels overwhelming – that noise, I mean. It’s because you are trying to control the object. You are the center, not the satellite.
Mindfulness methods help a lot in such circumstances.
Yes, it is NOT a question of control, but perhaps one of acceptance of the flowing processes.
We are commanded from all directions to manage something that is not manageable, not in the way they tell us it is. You didn’t choose your memories, you just remember them. You didn’t choose your reflexes and instincts, they are just functional features of what is ultimately a tool. You are free to brain and free to brain differently. You are not a brain. The brain is something you do, something done by your biology. It is actually its most important process.
“To brain or not to brain, that is the question.” Well, that is a question, but not to brain doesn’t enter consideration until you are done here.
I’m going to brain about this for a while. In that case you may choose to change things up, and instead of choosing to brain you may choose to rock, or to plant.
Or to rest. The only rest is an echo. Echoes form the chorus, the ultimate order of the multiverse.
I wanna rock!
My meditative method is resting and listening to all the echoes.
Nirvana translates into english as no wind, or more roughly as no disturbance. It doesn’t mean no substance. The ultimately peace is harmony. Harmony without noise, pure resonance, echoes.
Harmony with Cosmos is my “religion.” It’s everyone’s religion whether they know it or not. It’s why you don’t rest easy here. It’s why you seek understanding. Variables are not random, they are not accidents. They are variations, musical variations meant to enrich and strengthen the chorus, deepen and fertilize that well of souls that births every new universe. We are all ultimately returners. The chorus is just a big job that we take on from time to time. Doing our part in the great procession, moving the great wheel. The great wheel is the golden ratio.
Loves “moving the Great Wheel” — remembers the poem by Rumi. (wheels inside wheels inside wheels?)
It is the so called computer simulation that leads our scientists to speculate as they do. It is the projector of the hologram that our physical universe is displayed on. It’s not very far away. It’s as close as your breath, and it needs you to keep breathing, not keep thinking.
Ever notice how often when you are thinking or problem solving you wind up holding your breath? If you really want to understand, stop trying and just breath, just listen, just sing. That wild impulse you get to hum a little tune is much more healthy and sane than all that problem solving you try to do. Ideas will still occur to you. Problems will still occur to you. The transition will just go more smoothly. You won’t waste so much time worrying, trying to put on a show of being responsible and disciplined. You won’t bother trying to be strong. What is stronger than the universe? Because that’s you.
I hope you found something useful here today. Be well my friends.
