WHATEVER

I titled my blog to indicate I have no idea what I am going to write about. I know it is not going to be long because of the late start and the need to go to town and be back to pick up Elijah, my grandson, when he gets off the bus.

Jamie and I had a long and involved conversation last night and I didn't get to bed until 1AM. I awoke about Six and didn't get back to sleep, at least, not solidly, I rolled out of bed around Seven. Anyway I am feeling somewhat sleep deprived.

All the above is just filler so you will think you have had something to read if I can't come up with something.

I just finished listening/watching a video titled, "Maybe Logic: The Lives and Ideas of Robert Anton Wilson" 2003. I don't know how to put up websites so you can just click on them, but it can be easily found with Google.

Robert Wilson is an excellent teacher. He talks about how we have our own unique reality tunnels in which we perceive the universe. I have never experienced him before but he explains belief systems much like I do. It is not necessary to agree with him to appreciate what he has to say and we probably won't, as we each have our own reality tunnel.

It is important to be aware that, even though, we agree on a consensus reality, we each have our own individual reality we create according to our beliefs. Our egos are invested in maintaining our own idea of what reality is, so our perception has the potential of keeping us separate, unless we appreciate and honor the fact that everyone sees differently.

The love we have for each other is the only bridge we have. Instead of arguing about how we see reality, we need to honor each other by careful listening. Attentive listening, with an open heart and mind, will bring into focus the person behind the opinion. We may be surprised by what we see.

We are One. Separation is a pretense in order to appreciate duality. All judgement is to some degree the projection of the one judging. We will never be able to see clearly as long as our perception is clouded by our judgements. We need to keep in mind that everyone sees the world differently. If we accept this without judgement, our world is richer for it.

How we are controlled by belief systems is such an important topic that I am sure we will be discussing it again.  I need to go to town and I haven't washed the dishes yet.

More Wednesday.
