…
happened yesterday.
On my
way to a nap, I decided to read a bit more (of the book I've, most recently,
been re-familiarizing mySelf with - "Science of Survival"). I've been
pretty diligent, over the past few months, in my ?review? of 'the Basics' and been highly
rewarded for having done so. Much of what I've ?experienced? from the venture
IS just what I have been working toward sharing here. THIS, just happens to be
the latest.
You
may note [under the 'About Me' to the left] I wrote, back in 2009 when I began
this particular blog : "I am an eternal optimist, an unwavering idealist
and perpetual romantic - in other words, a dreamer." AND, I would like to
direct your attention to http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x102el_john-lennon-imagine_music#.UeiryxDn_cs , John Lennon's "Imagine" - 'cause
it's True; I'm NOT the only one, and …
… here's
what I read earlier, SOLELY - as it relates to ME (excerpted & edited for
'key' points from SoS - Book II, pg 478)
"Many
more mind levels apparently exist above the analytical level. There is, for
instance, clear evidence that there is an aesthetic
mind level, …. The aesthetic mind would be that mind which,
by an interplay of the dynamics, deals with the nebulous field of art and
creation. …. But as it evidently has to employ the }..other..{ minds in the creation of art and
art forms, the amount of aberration of the individual greatly inhibits the ability of the
aesthetic mind to execute."
And,
again - solely as it relates to Me, here are some 'notes' I wrote directly
thereafter :
"
> "The Trouble w/ GI ants " - ref to
a poss. Educational Series storyline. The Giants 'Get It' (but/what) the ants don't see.
With
their "heads in the clouds" it's easier to ?see? beyond 'the norm';
However, …
… they
are easily tripped up by the micro (??) view of UNreality. ??? details, Details, DETAILS ???
AS AN ASIDE : I'd even recently seen this
video which may better help you understand the perspectives involved here? https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=uc6sOQi0YyQ
This
flows over into 'the Power of 8' [An add'l concept/realization/prgm I've been
developing for sharing here.] in that each of the subsequent
organisms/sections, at the start, KNOW the 'overall' GOAL but, lose some of the
'vision' in focusing on the 'details' of their particular 'assignment' &
their ability to create the effect(s) for which they were /are (initially)
endowed in contributing to the Whole. --- Whereas the GIant, unhindered by such
'strands' of ?focus? Retains the ?? FULLER ?? view.
(A
?correlation? w/ "Gulliver's
Travels" threaded itself amongst my meanderings at the time - although no 'specific notes' were written
of it.)
This
(excerpt) may also have DIRECT ?manifestations?repercussions? (for me) on my
actual vision, ie., eyesight ??? In that
I have been reducing the true ability of my VIEW to better "See"
things as others do, for quite some time now. --- Talk about 'a trap' ? ! ?
AND it
manifests itself in just 'what it is' that " I " focus on --- because
there were/are to be 'others' to handle the minutia --- thus " I "
didn't Need To KNOW it & began selectively reducing what it was/is that
" I " ?could? see.
TUNNEL
vision : 'cause one could NOT possibly retain ALL info/data/etc with which
he/she comes in direct , or even indirect, contact with … BULLSHIT, you not
only can, you have --- we've
simply 'placed it' OUTSIDE of our own awareness --- so we are continually
surprised/amazed at things (truths) that we ?stumble upon? recall &
recognize (and then question it's validity -- HaHaHa ! Jokes on US).
AS AN ADD"L ASIDE : 50 yrs ago (Yep, half
a century) I made a ?decision? to "NOT 'read' people" as well as I
could at the time. It was 'nothing' for me to meet someone for the very first
time and KNOW, within minutes, More 'about them & their lives' than I felt
?comfortable ? with Knowing. I even developed a slight 'parlor trick' [a set of
5 inconsequential questions] to
shield/hide my true ?talent/ability? although I really hadn't a clue as to just
'what' that talent/ability was (at the time).
I KNOW,
now, that I was simply 'viewing Their own [mental image] pictures' but I was
quite disconcerted by ALL of the data/info which I was receiving. I felt like a
'peeping Tom' - surreptitiously looking into the most personal aspects of
another's Life WITHOUT consent or knowledge. I was "invading Their
privacy" and had No Right to do so; therefore, I 'set it aside'.
SO -
I've ?always? known that my own viewpoint (ie., being That point from which
" I " view things) has been a ?tad different? than most - it's just
'nice' to know that I just might NOT be as 'weird' as I've thought - and I am
More 'comfortable' (than ever) with the View(s) I have. [Mayhaps You are too !]
jts
P.S. I
have REconsidered my talent/ability.
