A Means to an End and Nothing

I couldn't write yesterday. I wanted to, knew what I wanted to write... but, couldn't do it. Apparently, my left brain and right brain were bottle necked. It was very frustrating and still sort of is.

I am trying to find the difference between manifestation and expectation. I am trying to locate that space in between what I think and what is. Or, I am trying to maintain that space in between but am being pulled, unmercifully, to the side of my brain that over thinks and judges.

My brain wants to take what is and find in that... a means to an end.

Whatever I am doing right now I am only doing to create a future result. So, when I complete what I am doing... then, then I will be happy.

Which can only mean I am not happy right now, right? Whether I like it or not, that is the case.

Eckhart said it, brought my awareness to it, and I can't let go of it.

I want to kick this thought bullshit to the curb, but it's like a mad sticky ball that bounces right back to me, in me, of me.

I am not supposed to fight this moment.

I don't want to do things as a means to an end, but I want to work towards things at the same time. Somewhere in between those to things is a place, a space of quiet- a knowing.

That is where I must focus.

In that space, there is nothing...



A most lovely person forwarded a video to me today. I received it this morning and after watching it, it occurred to me that at any given time great movements of energy, unseeable by the human eye, are at work, and that I was fortunate enough to be in that particular loop at that time.

I share this video with you now (so sorry to those who can't view it at their place of work...)






(If the video does not load for you, you can check it out here)

Now, I very well may be way behind the times, and you all may well know of TED.com.

If you are, however like me and you didn't know... to you I say "go, quickly."

What a wealth of treasure.
