I would like to share some unusual thoughts and bizarre questions with you.
Human existence is characterised by searching for an elsewhere to be, to create new and glorious experiences. We all crave an elsewhere, at any cost.
But where is an elsewhere?
Strange question, but let’s not get upset before there is reason to.
The ‘elsewhere’ is much more than an ordinary physical place. The ‘elsewhere’ is not even in our heads. Elsewhere is an infinite number of dimensions, all perfectly accessible, in which we can create unlimited experiences.
So, we can proceed with our talk here or elsewhere. This fact is advantageous.
WHAT SHAPES AN EXPERIENCE
A fascinating little puzzle.
The compulsive and tireless creator ( that each of us is ) loves infinite variety and extreme personalisation.
Perception is the tool which brings out that unique and unrepeatable vision of an event that I will call ‘my’ experience.
Think about how the same event can generate experiences of opposite signs in different people.
For most people dying is a tragedy; for some, a liberation and, for a few, even an honour.
But dying is and remains only a routine in this dimension, in which it’s considered an essential experience and an inevitable factor.
Ciak, action: death makes us unique.
DON’T BE AUTOMATIC
Let’s make a brief summary of what influences our perception:
1 Our culture 2 Our personal story 3 The automatic association with a particular sensation
When we were children, someone scolded us and gave us a hard slap in the face.
Most of us will likely have associated the slap with guilt, error, humiliation, pain, anger, shame and despair.
Thus, if someone in adult life slaps us again, it’s very likely that we will associate the same feelings and emotions with this experience.
Maybe even the same reaction.
But if we consciously change our perception, the slap received can take, for example, the evangelical meaning of ‘turn the other cheek’.
In short, if we don’t insert the automatic pilot, we are always free to decide how and what to feel in every single experience.
A horse of a different colour.
EVERYTHING MATTERS BECAUSE, IN REALITY, IT MATTERS NOT
From whatever perspective you are evaluating your life, be aware that it’s only a point of view and that even the most miserable among existences can be the most exciting and adventurous and that a life lived with ease can be a masterpiece of endless boredom.
And for today, that’s all, folks, from my scarlet study.
