Balance Means Awareness of Both Dimensions

Balance means awareness of both dimensions.


Dimension can be used meaning several different things. Some may think that I operate in my own dimension...a little off of center.  And then there is conversation about levels of consciousness as dimensions.  I think saying, in all of life in this time-space reality there are only two dimensions, is a good way to get my point across.  Giving equal time to both creates the balance in this reality we are looking for. So what are they?


When you look outside into the night sky, you see them...objects ( stars, bright pin points of light, perhaps a moon) and space...  the manifested, that is something that can be seen, an object, a form of some kind.... and you see something that cannot be seen, the unmanifested, space. 


You don't actually "see" it, you become aware of it. Two dimensions....the form and the formless.....  It is the form that makes the  formless visible to us.   The further apart the things (the forms) are, the more nothingness we perceive.  


The night sky is a good example because you cannot look into it without a feeling of .......what is that feeling?  We look for the words....the answer cannot be found there.... actually you are feeling the essence of who you are.  


You are connecting, experiencing the unmanifested...The vastness, the space out there is connected to the space, the vastness within you.  In that second you feel peace, space...vastness and more peace...so much it creates a sense of wonder which then often we go off mentally trying to locate..."Imagine how far those stars really are",  Isn't the moon beautiful?" ," Makes me feel good to look at such beauty"........etc.


Seeing the vastness of space is a good place to connect.....to yourself.....to the peace that is within you.  Another good place is walking in nature...in the quiet of a forest..... when you stop letting the mind run you continually with thought after thought after thought , form after form, always wanting more...more to complete me...more to improve or change my story...more, more, more...not quite there yet....more...I need more.....


When this chatter stops....you are fully alert and can sense your connection to all that is...to the universe...to the unmanifested....to God.


Using the word "God" creates a problem for some...they have made God an object of thought and don't like what happened in relation to the thought....so let's say...infiniteness....this vastness cannot be contained by thought forms, by words...It cannot be made an object.....


This infiniteness is within you...the rest you seek is within.....the only true completeness is within you already.


Do less, go less....but most important of all, think less.....when you need to think, you can, it is still there...but it does not run from one thing to the next to the next to the next until we must sedate it to sleep or else drop into bed exhausted and sleep before we hit the pillow.


You ARE and that must come before you are this or you are that.....
keep some attention....some awareness on the deeper, truer thing that will never led you astray...never take you on a roller coaster....settle down into yourself....and be still......


The craziness of the world comes from no awareness of the 2nd dimension.  They are totally focused on the manifested, the object, and are preoccupied with it at all times. We see how difficult it can be for one to be still. Say "yes" and breathe in life...this moment...without thought...just open up to it and say "yes".


Balance means along with our preoccupation with forms of every kind (including thought forms), we also pay attention to the stillness........the silence........the vastness.........and feel its  connection to you and you to it......it is you....


Knowing we can never define it........words and languages are a small part of the manifested trying to encompass the infinite.......can't be done...in fact, it is actually humorous that we try and insist it can be.


Well, at least with infiniteness, we will never say, "My infiniteness is the true infiniteness and your infiniteness is false"...:)


Can you pay attention to the stillness?  Sit quietly...and try to listen...and still  your mind.  
Don't accept that meditation just doesn't work for you...that is the same as saying that eliminating confusion just doesn't work for you. 


Even one moment...just one...one breath...done in awareness, done many times over..... in the course of a day will transform the experience of your life.


You are wanting what you can reveal to yourself........insights will come,..... patience doesn't have to be gained thru suffering................ oh and your rapidly firing mind frequently fueled by your body is never going to tell you exactly what the problem is because the problem is your rapidly firing mind...


When you look out at the clouds, look also at the spaces in between...let your awareness dwell there momentarily.  


Look inbetween the trees and let it sink into you....


When you are listening to someone speak, listen to the silence that is between the words and underneath the words. 


Hear the silence that carries the musical note.....   Be aware of what around you is unmanifested.



I don't have to encourage you to look at the manifested, the mind does this automatically.  


Step out of time just for moment....and "come home"to yourself.


Breathe....smile and say "Yes" to the space in your room,be aware of it.....listen... breathe again....


selah....
