There is This and There is More

The Following is a musing on Space-Time and Manifestation: 

 

This morning I was sitting at the window writing about what I saw: The green field heavy with rain, the Cooper's Hawk watching for voles, the garden still growing in November. And a realization hit me that I only perceive a limited spectrum of light. Maybe I only experience a micro section of what the universe has to offer. 

I thought "I'm aware of this moment only. What if there were infinite possibilities in this moment?"  I thought about the magic of prosperity and love I've experienced in this life. What I realized is that experiencing new ways of being and seeing came mostly from which part of the moment, which possibility, I CHOOSE to Attend to. I wondered "Could manifestation of our dreams and fears come down to simply attending to the possibility we want?" 

Then my mind went even further out. I thought about our current societal myths and dreams. Two societal myths in particular came forward: 

• That this perceived earth, full of tribulation and exaltation, a swirl with the mess of war and love, is all we have.
• That we are separated from other civilizations, beings and technologies by nearly infinite distances in space and time.

What if these myths were really built on incomplete or false assumptions? Perhaps most people have lived a life feeling constrained and stuck in a life where fate and limitations of space-time rule. But what if that feeling of smallness is Not True? 

I thought about our little planet, supposedly alone with life in the great void of space. How our current myth is that if we just push and try and develop technologies we can reach the stars someday. Just think about the popularity of Star Trek. But isn't there also a personal myth akin to Star Trek that many of us have too? If we just try harder and hone our skills we will evolve and be better than we were before. Then we'll be whole.

Are we really alone and separate in our universe? 

Let's consider our society's current seemingly unsuccessful focus on contacting other intelligent life in the cosmos. We try and try and still no signals are detected (yet). We spend vast sums and still only make it to the edge of our insignificant solar system. Along the way we search for other life. We search for the solutions to our feeling separate and alone. 

A possible reason we’ve had rare or no interaction with alien spacecraft is that the idea of traveling three dimensional space is antiquated, primitive and ultimately not practical. Contained craft and thrusters? These are like Clovis points compared to the nuclear laser created by others in other realms. In fact space is probably not even close to how most people perceive it. 

The real frontier is a change of perception of dimensional shifts and time, i.e. an expanded way of experiencing moment and place. The real manipulation is of matter we have hardly even considered and never seen, yet. 

Shamans call this “place” the spirit world. They call the movement of the new-dimensional matter “magic”. It's science, really. And this science calls for awareness beyond three dimensions. Yet it’s contained within dimensions. The new perceptions "there" would tweak our puny ideas of space travel, time, tools and life. And it’s all so close, a whole universe we have yet to know. We’re like fish in the sea that cannot fathom or even see the water in which we swim.

So my mind comes back to witnessing what I see outside the window. The hawk still waits. The grasses still bow. And yet, I wonder. What If I could see all the possibilities all around me?  Would I feel alone anymore? Would I be filled with wonder instead of the nagging that there must be more out there? Would my imagination strike out and create something so new that I could never ever live my life like I once did?

Thanks for following along with me on this path of musing. I hope that maybe next time you look out through the frame of your window you might muse too....

There is this and there is more...

Love,

Rick
