Today I start my 100 days of blogging EVERYDAY experiment Each day some exploration
The Theme is Light – Shadows – Surrender
I don’t really know what will come ..but here goes..
Invisible dark matter.
The universe as we know (the 4% of it..yes that is ALL) is made up of dark matter and dark energy…unknown…unconscious… invisible. I firmly believe that the quantum physis world has more answers, since it breaks away from the causality dead loop or the notion of – I KNOW because I see. (and therefore – If I don’t see I don’t know and THAT causes anxiety)
We fight it every day. We call it fancy names, I guess so we feel somehow more justified.. and (less silly). We call it VUCA or the more recent adaptation BANI. (Brittle-Anxious-Non-linear-Incomprehensible)
If we pause, like James Hillman writes and notice just how many things we are used to ANYWAY that are invisible….that we live from the belief of even though we DON’T see them… maybe it won’t seems so scary.
What is ..Invisible??
Well ..for starters most of our thoughts, desires… fears…. potential.. dreams…values..relationships..ideas of control..god.. our actions something (often) that we feel.. “I DON’T know why I did that?” fantasies.. Past..future.. the impact of our ancestors of our psyche..the impact of the environment we live in on our body and the choices we (think) we are making.. The impact of our words and action on the future.. ours ..our family our earth… the thousands of stories that lives inside us and that we live inside… the turn of events at every choice we make or don’t…. I can go on and on….
As I sit here this morning the world is still waking up .. or ready to go to sleep. I hear the birds starting to exchange notes ..loudly. And I think of yet another “invisible” that is somehow beginning to show itself..a little.
It’s like a wild little animal in the woods… that will come on its own…when I sit and wait patiently and not be afraid of the dark. Not picture or anticipate anything.. because I have really never seen it..to visualize and yet I KNOW it is there.. invisible. Because the hair on my hand is bristling…I can hear a little more acutely because of the silence.. I am taking deep breaths and my heart is still.
And I surrender to the moment. Alert. Surender is not the same as giving up. it more like giving down, in faith (another invisible)
To be given the privilege to see..it.
The invisible.
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” – Little Prin
