Shift

Most of the time I am a cheerful sort, but then again, without a moments notice I can turn inward and become hauntingly reflective and quiet. It can last for days, sometimes weeks. Not a depression, or any feeling of despair, but a feeling of great calm and focus. I can write a novel in my head, compose music and formulate perfumes down to precise accuracy. It is uncanny, and I assume that it is probably normal. I would imagine that artists in general have this, whatever it is, so I don’t pay it much mind. I just ride it out and take a lot of notes.
I equate it to being in the Tao. When one is riding the wave of Tao it is effortless and not something that can be forced. To try to be in the zone so to speak, moves one farther and farther from it. It is the way the Universe teaches us about our natural wisdom. First by showing us how to be quiet so that we can feel things deeply. Once we are at that level of awareness we can understand (with great ease) the most complex of situations. The vastness of this quantum world is mind boggling when trying to see it from the outside, but when we are deep on the inside it’s like a walk in the park.
I believe that along with this state of awareness comes an enormous bundle of controlled energy. The greater our depth of awareness, the greater the ability to move with the energy.
There have been many scientific studies conducted in areas such as remote healing, as well as how human thoughts can alter the energy patterns of plants. The things we do not see, can be more powerful than the concrete reality of the ones we can hold in our hands.
Tonight as I sit here there is a blanket of snow on the ground outside and the temperature is in the low teens. I am reminded of the Tibetan Monks who through the ability to focus their energies, can control their body temperature, meditating outdoors in freezing weather.
For the most part the world is just too darned loud. Imagine how different things could be if we valued our internal knowledge and wisdom as much as we valued our right to be seen and heard. But then again critical mass can be a small number, and the slightest shift could turn us in a heartbeat.
