Mental Arrangement
The world we witness is as we have arranged it mentally. Everyone arranges the world differently
depending on their personal interests, experience, training and predisposition. There are places where our realities overlap.
This is where our individuated minds meet in greater, more inclusive understanding. It is here that we see past the poor understanding
that causes conflicts in our lesser individuated realities. We need only accept this
for our journey toward The Greater, More Inclusive Reality to begin. It is with this understanding that we set aside our individual
concerns to meet in the place of agreement above the conflicts of lesser realities.

With no effort, there can be no journey. With no journey, there can be no adventure. With no
adventure, there can be no increase in understanding. With no increase in understanding, there can be no reduction of conflict.
With no reduction of conflict, there can be no peace of mind. With no peace of mind, there can be no curiosity. With no curiosity,
there can be no effort. The function of our mind is circular. In order to rise to a greater understanding,
we must know where we are in the circle of certainty within The Canyon of Consideration. From there we must
be prepared to ride a transitional idea that arrives at the door of consciousness and spiral out to a new understanding in
a greater, more inclusive circle of certainty. In doing so, the world that we have come to take for granted becomes
refreshed as we see with "new eyes", hear with "new ears" and experience everything from a new point of view.
This is rebirth. The world we thought we knew fades into the distance as our new reality with less conflicts begins to form.
This is Aminimua Awareness, the potential for continual spiritual growth as we see from an ever expanding understand
the wonders of The Ongoing Creation. This is "The Fountain of Youth" as we share
these wonders in song, dance, poetry, painting, sculpture, verbal dialogue and all other forms of expression. Thus we
continue our journey toward ever greater consciousness, never content with what we have accomplished, but, as an aspect of
The Universe, experience the continually changing nature of reality and enjoying the adventure.

Fears are the "dragons" that hide in the recesses of our mental arrangement. they keep
us from using our talents and realizing our potential. Jumping into consciousness whenever we approach or invited to see from
a different point of view, they hold us captive demanding that we bow before some idol erected in a superficial reality.
Fears that we run from expand, taking up more of our mental activity. Surrounding our talents and possibilities, they become
an impenetrable wall that stands between ourselves and the understanding we need in order to be effectively creative.
It is only when we face our fears that we approach greater understanding. Then the "dragons" dissipate as we realize
how we brought them into being by accepting an invitation that is invalid or poorly founded.
