My effort here is not so much to tell anyone how to think or what to think about as it is to
remind others, as I seek to remind myself ,of what is happening behind the curtains in my mind. I do this simply because
it helps me gain clarity. If what I write helps you gain clarity, we are both blessed with greater understanding.
Meanwhile, my exploration of The Canyon of Consideration continues. Sometimes I am investigating the fear and tendency
of others to avoid anything that might cause them to change their mind. At other times I am maintaining a certain point of
view to keep from changing my own mind. I wonder about others, how it is that they try to demonstrate their intelligent
as they express their ignorance. But, then, they are probably thinking the same of me. Since
thre is no certain way to be or certain thing to think, how can I sit in judgment on those who do not think like me. It is
better if I try to understand where they are coming from and why they think as they do. That way I will have a greater understanding
of The Creative Process as it unfolds through both of our individuations. If I merely
react to what they have to offer because it does not meet my specifications, we are both ignorant and doomed to blindness.
Only in attempted reception of each other's ideas do we become wise. Only in becoming wise do we rise above the conflicts
that exist in the lower regions of The Canyon of Consideration.
For example, I might include an essay on some inspiration
that I have had that seems to be more relevant to me than what I have learned or been taught by others. In expressing
it I find that I achieve greater clarity and in writing it I try to bridge the gap between what I call "my mind" and "the
mind of others". This requires even more discipline and a greater sense of Connectedness. I do this for the exhileration
that attends Greater Understanding. What you make of it is up to you.
Writing essays requires a little more work than writing blog posts, but it also gives me a chance to really shape and express
my thoughts. To me, this is the greatest thing I can do with what is left of my life in human form. I invite your interaction
and reflection on Reality, Life and The Sense of Being in all Its forms. I invite your interaction,
both negatively and positively so that I might see from your point of view, knowing that The Universe is working through you
as much as it is working through me. Without your input, I am less and I do not know what it is that I have not taken into consideration.
What is your Mental Arrangement?
