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!
