Space... ...

Finally! I'm done with my piece on Space… … & I'm going to start this post with lots of Space ;-)

Silly, Stupid and Strange

versus

Stuck, Stressed and Suppressed.

Which set of Ss would you choose?

Re: Space... ...

Silly, Stupid and Strange versus Stuck, Stressed and Suppressed. Which set of Ss would you choose?

The former creates Space, Space for the Seeds of Possibilities to grow.

Going Beyond Possibilities requires that we empty our minds and expand our awareness. I was so lost when I started that I have nothing but an empty mind… that was a blessing I only appreciated at a later date.

Worry is the ultimate waste of our resources. The first step was the most difficult one… once I start, there was momentum… like the wind, this momentum carried me along to meet the people I needed to meet and learn the mystery to all the questions I had… some question I could not even articulate at that time…

Once I took the first step into the unknown, there was space… and from that space, possibilities revealed themselves to me, possibilities which were beyond my expectations, possibilities which were invisible to me… yet were there all the while…

Making a decision to move forward, beyond what I thought I knew for sure, was only the beginning, a new beginning. A journey of awakening to the way of the Universe, a journey guided by Flow and Synchronicities that led me Beyond Possibilities.

The Space I intentionally created in my life was a state of emptiness that did not feel good at all. It felt uncomfortable, risky, silly, stupid and sometimes strange. I left without expectations and the only reason I had the courage to give the people around me was “hibernation”. It was winter in Melbourne so I told almost everyone who asked that I was going there to hibernate. I told myself I was going there to write… to write what I did not know… how stupid can it get? To want to write when I did not have a story to begin with… ha ha… Silly, Stupid and Strange…

Re: Space... ...

By virtue of its definition, Space has the potential to be filled. Space can be liken to a vacuum, and there is a scientific principle that says a vacuum exerts a force that pulls things toward itself. One popular and mega example of this principle in action is a black hole. A black hole is so powerful that is pulls even light into itself.

The more Space/emptiness there is, the closer we approach a vacuum. My experience suggests that we need not go though such extreme conditions as in a (100%) vacuum (if this even exist at all) to experience such powers of attraction.

For the sake of leveraging the power of visualisation, please allow me to dramatise with an extreme example… imagine you are in a vacuum… see and feel all the resources you need automatically flowing toward you from all directions… including pure Energy of light and love that you can collapses into and create anything you desire with pure Intention and sustained Attention.
 
Spend some time on this visualisation and share your thoughts if you wish… articulating your creative visualisation helps crystallise and materialise them.

In what ways can you create such a Space in your life?

What do you wish to attract into this Space?

P.S. Letting go of your material possessions such as a job is only one of many ways to create Space… there are many other ways… external as well as internal… meditation is an inward way, which creates Space in the form of Silence in our minds for insights and inspiration to flow…

Re: Space... ...

Overcoming our biggest Struggles give us our Most Memorable Satisfactions. Simillarly, Service to Society is the best Source of Satisfaction. To put this anther way, Success without Service (to Society) is of no Significance. Soceity can start as small as from the self… to that special someone… but ultimately, we want to reach out to as many people as we can.

Struggle is one way to develop Strength, though not neccessaily a good one…
Our Strengths might turn out to be our Stumbling Blocks if left unchecked, while our Weaknesses may Someday become Stepping Stones to higher grounds.

To Access the Abundance that already is, we must Embrace Ambiguity, Paradox & Uncertaintity etc. This Space between Polarities is Filled with Emptiness… a Void that is Full of Nothing & at the same time Full of Everything… a Space that is Filled with of Possibilities…

A Place of Confusion… & also a Place of Creative Potential. This is a where Everything we thought we knew Breaks Down. It is here that we Breakthough Limits! It is out of these Confusion that we realise genuine Clarity.

Do also realise that Creativity without Expression is only Coffee Powder… not Coffee…

It is all about being Aware of the Shadow that Accompanies our Strengths, & Consciously Allocating our Attention to find a Point of Balance where the Shadow is minimised.

In my journal… I sketch a capital letter S with the sun shinning directly overhead to depict the smallest possible shadow… this also symbolise how this shadow is an integral part of our strengths & we cannot throw it away… unless we choose to live in darkness ie. hide in the shade/comfort zone & not use our strengths & potentials… this also symbolise that when we Serve with our Stengths, we become a Source of light & we must be aware of the Shadows that we cast… we must maintain a Balance & know that it is a responsibility to be a Source of light… to know that despite the Shadows that we cast… the light we Shine is Significant & that we are doing more good than harm…

Re: Space... ...

I couldn't agree less. Balance, is the way, to (words I can't find, or decide which ought to be proper.)

True: ”To Access the Abundance that already is, we must Embrace Ambiguity, Paradox & Uncertaintity etc. This Space between Polarities is Filled with Emptiness… a Void that is Full of Nothing & at the same time Full of Everything… a Space that is Filled with of Possibilities…”
One of these very well known spaces, is everything around you. (the world, as is)

True: ” A Place of Confusion… & also a Place of Creative Potential. This is a where Everything we thought we knew Breaks Down. It is here that we Breakthough Limits! It is out of these Confusion that we realise genuine Clarity.” Actually it sounds somewhat like what the quantun fysisicts stated to the older generation of fysisicts.

Aye: ”It is all about being Aware of the Shadow that Accompanies our Strengths, & Consciously Allocating our Attention to find a Point of Balance where the Shadow is minimised. ”
True strength comes from our understanding of the world and our knowledge of the effect we have on everything around us. Something is always a combination between nothing and everything at the same time.

You must feel great now don't you?
Well, It's a feeling, that you can maintain forever. If you don't confuse yourself with old and relativily simple problems. My advice:
Don't forget, that you live in a body, with physical needs, and therefore physical flaws and urges that sometimes your mind can't control.

for the rest, there isn't anything more to say.

Welcome, I am happy for you.

Re: Space... ...

                            !!!!!SORRY!!!!!                    

It should have said, I couldn't agree more!!!!!
(a very poor spelling mistake) 

Re: Space... ...

Thanks Frederik :-)

No… I'm not feeling as great as I was when I frist wrote this… that was some months back… what you are reading now is what I extract & type from my journal… just felt it was time to share some of these musings & Zaadz is a great place to do so.

You are right… It's a feeling… to me feelings are fleeting… so it's interesting that you suggest we can maintain certain feelings forever…

Someone thought me the same thing about anchoring & getting into “state” anytime I want… that's one way to recall & leverage good feelings… good to be reminded of this at this time…

The importance of consciously calling upon good feelings to guide us is a synchronistic & timely reminder for me. I realised my Energy was rather low last week & have been asking myself, “how come?”… I found my answer in a book yesterday & in your post today. Also realise now that it would have been more effective to ask, “how to up my Energy by connecting to source?”

Am I confusing myself with “old and relativily simple problems”? Maybe… either way, your advice is sound… & it's a timely reminder for me to take care of my body… 

P.S. Holding a questioning mind & feeling good is so important for me… during the times when I succeed in doing so, I experience more sychronicities. I intend to share some of these specificsychronicities from my Transformation Journey here soon…

Re: Space... ...

Hi Alex,

It's 2:13 am here in PA and I'm wide awake with many thoughts and unanswered questions.  After reading your pod discussions you helped to put things into a better perspective. Thank you for your generous insight to your special space of your journal. It's beautiful and inspiring.

To answer your question. I would stay I was stuck, stressed amd supprressed but after reading your wonderful insights I can honestly say I'm on a better path to being silly, stupid and strange and startiing feel quite comfortable about it.  :):)

 Again, thanks for some great reading material. Keep it coming.

 Lisa in Pa.

Re: Space... ...

I've just added a little summary of my philosophy of life, using Space as a starting (& ending) point… please take a look & share your thoughts here :-)

Re: Space... ...

Hi Alex how are you

Space IS my main subject for years and years and a key to my evolution and i must have this comment placed here.

i am and have been a Silly, Stupid and Strange for such a long time that it now feels sort of convenient. There is still the ever feeling misunderstood but a freedom of movement or expression fills the gape.  And there is a strong physical sense of detachment that breads intuitive communications and love.

i wanted to say something about space in a form of story

while trying to draw the things in my room using pen and pencil in realistic style, i was studying how to do it, i was copying the shapes that i saw. I first I tried with engineering/academic drawing manner and then the impressionist approach.

Academic drawing results or starts from some geometric model while impressive drawing reveals real space by copying the colors without any model structure (depending on the level of void or dedication in the painter).

Then I was trying to draw while i was in movement. I was imitating the sight of a room viewed by a fly that just came through the window. I imagined the progressing view step by step (fly by fly:) taken by that fly using short lines on paper in what resembled differential math and produced something like progression of  spherical triangles.

While doing that I realized that having two eyes is a movement by itself and also that the outlines of any object are never straight and that the colors are seen differently by each eye but more than that, i realized that space deepened. That space deepens while flying.  

I am not sure what a fly feels when he is flying around but I guess he is after smells and food if possible. For me however, I was wondering why do I fly (?) or what this space means ?

The need for meaning resulted with a sense of emptiness and despair. Emptiness suggested I’d offer a gift but the needing for meaning remained.

Later, much later in time I was driving with my son he set at the back of the car and we were talking. It was night time and the close by mountains glowed under the dark starry heavens. So I thought what it would be, if that sight had no name and no political or financial values. If we have no needing; this vast space is full with love.

Re: Space... ...

Sometimes what we really need is simply the Space and time to look within and understand our Life Purpose. Can we give ourselves the permission to do this? Can we let go of our dependence on the opinion of others for long enough to find our own voice? Can we close our eyes to all that are being thrown in our face for long enough to find our own vision? Can we first give ourselves the time and Space to design our perfect vocation, before sending out our resumes and rushing into the first cubicle that is available?

To have Space, we must first be able to let go… and letting go of who we are is not easy… letting go of who we think we are is not easy… letting go of who others think we are is not easy… letting go of who others want us to be is not easy…

Re: Space... ...

Apparently nothing is easy..)

i am not sure what anyone thinks of me.   i  know some who do this though , they think about…me.  I have no means to dealing with people who think about others and take their thoughts seriously.

I don’t have any life mission but  ‘we have life mission’  as the next stage. Where all envelops are pushed further and evolve or interrelating is mission in itself

I am whatever I ever wished to become and a total failure financially at the same time. I never knew where and how to place money in my models of work and when I did,  I was usually proved wrong again and again :-/

 
more about Interrelating; it is basically a level or space of sharing insights and views, of distributing and receiving newly mixed media and helping personal and global transformation. Our mission sometime is just giving a hand and at other time is being attentive and listening and be patient and caring and at other times resolving complex issues through insight.

Besides, we depend absolutely on working together if we need progress in any specific field.

Sharing materials : - ) yosyama 

Re: Space... ...

Is it? Is it so hard?
I don't think it is.
Yes, If you've never known anything else, it is a rather big step.
But when you say: 'letting go od who we think we are' I don't agree. I think it should be: 'letting go of what we think we should be/(have been)'
Because in the end, you are in charge of your actions and thoughts. Not someone else. (You know that now). So why did you ever?
When you know that, you really can lie in the middle of the park, and look into the sun. without care.
Because you know, people are afraid, of those who look to know more about the world then them, and who seem to have no fair about what others think of them.
(just remember to always respect others)
Knowing how to get there, and actually getting there, are only the beginning.
Living and enjoy life, is what will eventually follow.
Good luck ;)
