On one side of the crevasse is an opening of cooperation, flow, creative play, music, poetry, dancing, sharing, appreciation, connection, personal sovereignty…
The other side is our known “Down the Rabbit Whole” world about which Alice would no longer say, “Curiouser and Curiouser,” I suspect. She would be wigging out! Ramped up chaos, lies, distraction, imbalance, escalation, noise,noise,noise…
Joseph Campbell in one of his lectures said, “The world is a mess. The world has always been a mess.” Through one view, that is sort of the point of the world, isn’t it? Duality, polarity, paradox. Perhaps it was never intended to be fixed – merely experienced.
And in the flow of merely experiencing this world, the above picture is not actually accurate. The two sides actually overlay one another – they are occurring together. The mess is still here, not ignored, but can be watched with attention, without emotional sway. The bliss and flow can also also watched with attention, without emotional attachment.
One moment follows another and it is a pretty good show from this seat.
The idea that we have participated in creating this amazing murder mystery theatre show for ourselves is simply wonderful to me. Think of this. We thought up: Crop Circles, Oceans, Aliens, Tornados, Mystery Schools, Palm Reading, Basil, Sex, Soul Mates, Geometry, Black Holes, God, Lucifer, Quarks, Secret Societies, Kittens, Weather, Flowers, Hitler, Lobster, Worms, Films, Paint on Canvas, Unseen Realms, and most of all, unfathomable SPACE surrounding us between micro particles, between atoms, between planets, between solar systems, between galaxies, between multiple universes even…IMMENSE SPACE between everything – just to the brain-aching tip of what we can fathom – and we plopped ourselves here with Amnesia.
Damn we are good!
I have been stuck in the mud of my mind lately and there is nothing like a little light duality humor mixed with Truth to pull me gently back out of it. Loved the music video too!
That’s great! (Duality humor – now that is a niche market:) Hope you are enjoying some dryer and sweeter ground beneath your feet today!

Deep Bow to you Ajaytao – who brings so much beauty into my vision each day 🙂 Thank you for the nod my direction, and I nod right back. Sneaking in posts between teaching and nurturing teens is all I am able to manage right now, so I am not going to be able to participate. Peace and love to you! xmarga
thank you marga
Love your work I’ve nominated you for the versatile blogger award here http://tarotalchemist.wordpress.com/2013/01/15/blog-awards/ Much love!!!!
Leisa,
So much love going around – how beautiful. I love checking to see what you are up to daily, and appreciate the connections this venue of words is bringing into my awareness. This time for me is very whirlwindy – and part of my growth has been in learning to balance and juggle my roles like a circus act. That leaves me only little pockets of time to find my nourishment of Sanga here in this wordpress corner. Long explanation…I am not going to be able to participate, BUT thank you so much. Headed over to tarot alchemist now to see what’s what – walking into the swirling design on the floor ! x!!marga
I completely understand that Marga. It was a wonderful surprise I was nominated as well, and it is time consuming following the award rules, so I certainly don’t imagine I’ll be doing it too often, was so time consuming..and as we know *time is of the essence* Ahh the swirling design, we had a wonderful evening!! Thanks for dropping by x0x
I love the quote you provide about finding yourself and the rest will fall away. I am placing that on my desk at work. thanks for the reminder.
I need the reminder daily, too 🙂
