Jiggle Pattern

By:


We are all in motion, even the inorganic among us. What looks like a solid table to us is really an infinity of little ions buzzing and bouncing around held together by a tenuous magnetic force. We never arrive. We are always in a process of becoming, and that includes inanimate objects as well. Is it any wonder some of us get confused? We are to be congratulated for maintaining any kind of continuity at all. Some of us do better at it than others.

I like the idea. It makes me feel like I am not left out. I mean, I already get the included feeling anyway when I see that the version of me as a human is at least similar to everyone elses version. Its a comfort to know we are popped out of generally the same mold, (two arms, two legs, etc.) Yet there often is a feeling of separateness among us too. Look at all the songs which cry about feeling lonely. When we comprehend our cosmic position in the universe, it feels instead like we are loosely bound with one another for eternity. Hows that for claustrophobia?

Even thoughts are things. That is a scary idea to those of us who value mental privacy. Mental acivity emits an energy which can and does influence the ongoing soup of things. And an atom from my busy cluster of ions could just as easily hop on over to your cluster of ions the very next day. We dont stop at the skin. That physical boundary stuff is just an illusion and we fall right into it because of limited perception. I suppose we are engineered to have this limited awareness so that we will do exactly that. We are supposed to feel falsely isolated so we can study how to overcome that feeling and in the process of this effort,grow.

This growth never solidifies either. In fact, we can even go backwards often, (as well we know) and that is really just all part of the dance. If we dont get everything figured out in this incarnation there is always another one down the road. Thats not to say that we should abstain from expending any effort in our quest to become developed happy souls, but we just shouldnt get too close to the trees to see the forest. Thats when we really mess up.

I was told that the best way to steer when we drive is to look ahead. By some mystic osmosis we automatically tune in to the correct steering, because apparently some primordial power bigger than we are is doing the work. When we freeze on a point where we find ourselves at the given moment, we interfere. Yes, we need to focus. We are cameras trying to adjust to the constantly changing scenery around us but remember there are cameras with automatic focusing, too. Im all for automatic focusing.

Things get done, people come back around, new opportunities come up, new moods take hold of us, new thought patterns. Discoveries contradict one another and elicit conflicting emotions but in the end,(of which there is none) everything seems to become diluted enough with data input so that it all works.

I just thought I would pass on that little bit of encouragement to everyone but remember, it is only temporary.
