ALL THE TIME


5 senses dancing

with each other to create

being, thoughts, feelings


All this is happening, all the time....every second of every minute of every hour of every day of every week of every month of every year of every decade of every life...are we aware of any of it? how do we make any sense of it ALL?

The 5 senses give rise to our thought forms and feelings, to our sense of self, enabling us to listen to each other and to all of life (the song of life--self, others, nature, and God/Goddess--the Divine), to rising consciousness...my son Danny, when i showed him the picture below, said it reminded him of a CELL--yes, the cell of life...see book Cell level healing: The bridge from soul to cell by Joyce Whiteley Hawkes for more on this.

Practice: To stop in the middle of our day (and/or at the beginning and/or end), and meditatively conduct a sensory sweep of our beingness, systematically directing our attention to each of the senses--both inside and outside of us...what do we hear, see, feel, taste, touch, smell? How does this influence the quality of our experience throughout the remainder of the day, evening, and night?

1 DOT starting with 1 dot coalesing they unite swirling in the 1 two senses of "1" are represented in the image...the 1 dot at the far left (the beginning, the one that starts it all...one idea, one person, one big bang) and the 1 at the far right (the end, the culmination, the combination of many 1's, the unification of the many into 1)...how is it that from the 1 comes the many...as a Taoist saying (paraphrased) expresses it...from the 1 come the 10,000 things. practice...take care what starting point (thought, belief, motivation) you begin with in any undertaking f or in it contains the seeds of everything else that follows...reflect on where your thoughts originate...work backwards, for fun, from the action to the seed thought that led to the action...try this backward investigation for several actions and several thoughts, and see if they lead back to the 1...this 1 has a powerful influence in your life.

2 CIRCLES from the 2 circles touching and overlapping reality births from the 2 comes the many, from male and female comes new life, from thesis and antithesis comes synthesis...the touching and overlap seems to facilitate new birth(s) at the intersection of the circles, the vortex, the vesica piscis, the mandorla (almond), the portal of new life... consider 2  vital ideas/parts of yourself...meditate on how the parts/ideas overlap, interrelate, connect...open...look/sense the portal of new life emerging...what implications does this have for being and doing?

FLOATING TRIANGLES floating triangles surrounded by colored dots revealing the face dots create lines that make up triangles, that make up the star in the center of which is a face...our face, their face, nature's face, G's face...all are there hiding at center...distracted by the colorful dots and triangles of life, sometimes it's hard to catch a glimpse of the face at the center, to be aware of the awareness that makes it possible to see the face, to contemplate the face of all faces. how many triangles are in your life... people, issues, challenges, problems, things you need to do, beliefs, habits, titles, roles, beauties, things...STOP the outward gaze and look inward to see your own face in meditation...contemplate the face...see others in your face, nature in your face, the universe in your face, G in your face...
