When we are constantly outside of ourselves thinking of moments in the past, or moments that may happen in the future, or moments of fantasy, we are constricting, reducing, degrading the connection between our centre and our physical outer world.
Of course, everything is a question of how much, of degrees. A few daydreams here or there don’t do any harm, but being constantly lost in worlds of fantasy, of memory, of speculation with no connection to the here and now does have an effect.
There is nothing wrong with fantasy, with stories. There’s nothing wrong with imagining things other than how they are.
I think the issue arises when we never have any connection between those worlds of thought, and here, where we are currently physically focused. Bringing non-physical reality into physical reality, into the “real”, being the funnel or the tunnel or conduit that makes that possible, is special
Maybe I’ll even dare to use the word sacred.
I think it completes one of the purposes of us being here. We are here to express non-physical reality through our unique perspective into physical reality.
But always staying in fantasy, in memory, in dreams, in thought with no connection to our everyday lives in physical creates a thinning or erosion in the conduit between our inner worlds and our outer ones.
And now, as I’m writing this, I am reminded of the digital image I created for myself. It was for my energy in regards to focus, which is a topic I sometimes feel frustration over. I feel like my focus, especially during meditation, should be better.
The dreaded ‘should’ word.
The image really illustrates what I’m trying to express now. It has been in my mind since I created it a few weeks ago. I keep coming back to it feeling like there’s more to it than I was initially seeing.
At the time I finished it I saw right away that it shows a break in the connection or circuit from the centre, star-like area to the outer reaches of the 6 lines, or perhaps conduits are a better word. These breaks restrict the full flow of energy and power from the centre outward.
But now writing this blog post, I understand a bit better one of the ways that break, that shredding, can occur.
