Remarkable encounters

Deeply moved by two encounters yesterday: the reflection available within the envelope of time, and the quote Caladonia brought to the Playasbeing group “Consciousness is the choice of which abstractions we experience out of an infinite number of ways of slicing the continuity of the universe.  It’s the feeling of existence that is the choice” (www.jaronlanier.com/zombie.html) . Within the envelope of ‘enough time’ I could reflect with pleasure, curiosity and openness about a conversation I was chatlogging (playasbeing.wik.is/Chat_Logs/2008.08.17_1300) and that added dimension of space for reflection seemed to add a glow of potential, evolving meaning that felt awesome.  And the Lanier thought helps in glimpsing the relationship between human consciousness and the infinite: the multi-dimensional universe and human necessity to ’slice’ it, sort of reducing its continuity into ways which the human mind can comprehend. Another aspect from the Lanier thought is that Nature does not have nouns, but as humans we need nouns for our ’science’; but nouns which are arbitrary distort the continuity of the universe. My experience of these encounters led to dreams of openings, explorations, and creative uncertainty.  All in a for me remarkable 24 hour period.

Kaleidoscope of beauty

So many ways to experience widening perspectives, as I have over the past 10 days: cycling, and kyaking among rural islands and in pristine waters in the Pacific Northwest; approaching Mt Rainier bareheaded and with awe on a summer’s day amidst the wildflowers, with the sound of the glacier stream in the background; sharing with loved ones over this time, in myrth or quiet reflection upon shared times and inner thoughts. Appreciating the richness of these diverse avenues.  And dipping into dreams, which reflect all of these experiences from a kaleidoscopic vantage point.

    Coming back to You Seeing Being Seeing–Evolved Seeing Being Seeing with awe-filled aspects of the natural and the inner experiecing worlds.  Feeling still nascent in these evolving ways of Seeing, and so needing to fully value my own trajectory in this regard.  Balancing caution against hesitation to move yet more into the Unknown.
