A Tribute to the Tao
Wind
The Tao is an expression of all things, all manner, all material.​
​
Literature on the Wind Trigram of the Tao.
The thing that holds your attention most powerfully is the thing that matters most.
The point of being inspired is to follow it through, like the rustle of leaves on the trees as the wind blows through. There is an ever-present resourcefulness that keeps the inspirational fires winding through the atmosphere to such a degree that beautiful inspirations are captured all the time. When one sits in the wake of the inspiration, the initial momentum is lost.
The Field Around You Expands and Contracts in Relationship with your Resonant Experience
by Janice Brown (October 15, 2021)
The field is your outer body’s resonant aspect. It holds the connection to your heart and mind, and the reason we say this is because it is one of the most important aspects of your health that you never knew about.
What can be confusing is that the field is many aspects of your resonant nature that can’t be determined by simply looking at a person. It is a subtle body of energy that speaks to the resonant formation of all living things. In traditional Chinese medicine we call this Chi. In more modern-day terms, we simply call it your energy field. Chi is a multitudinous dynamic; it is always present, and it is always in transformation.
You can think of it like the wind in a windstorm or the calm on a flat summer day. It will pick up the energetic nature of every living being in relationship to where you are. Some people call this interpretation of the field their spidey senses; some might only be aware of it when they talk about getting the heebeegeebees. But you know what I mean? This is your most powerful communication sensor, and it’s time you knew how to use it. It serves you greatly, but you can only be aware of it if you can understand some simple concepts that we are going to talk about right now.
Your emotions are in expression through the field and through your body. You can feel an emotional outburst rising in a room because of the change in the field dynamic. You can feel a peacefulness of energetic calm; if you were to walk into a room of people with similar resonant formations, you would be unaware of a contrasting energetic, so you might not even consider it.
Now think about a time when you were a child and what it felt like to be in the happiest, most joyful position you could be in. This is where your field was in its most expanded state. Now think about when you got in trouble; this is your collapsed energetic state. The emotions parallel the movement of the field resonance. So this is your greatest awareness indicator of what your field is doing.
Your field is your lifeline to truth. It tells you what you need to know without interpretation. The distortion of the field occurs when you don’t listen to yourself and try to interpret your information based on experiential data instead of current moment awareness. This becomes the game you play with yourself for your whole life. What is true? What is not? What is real? What is not? What is perception? What is awareness?
Can you think for a moment of a reason why we would have such a finely tuned system of expression? It is simply because it is who we are. We are our field, and our field is us. In terms of our true nature, our field is the most expanded aspect of our mind and personality and conscious and subconscious awareness. It can be seen as an indicator of health simply because if you know what your field is doing, you know what your mind is doing and how your body is responding.
Can you play with this idea for a minute and see how it sits with you? Go to a window or a doorway and imagine that every single thing that moves or resonates has a field energetic placed around it. Some things are big and expansive like a cloud in the sky. Some things are hard and contracted like a piece of metal. On an outdoor day on a windswept field, there is more energy moving and swirling around than you would otherwise be aware of, simply because you have the visual aspect that contributes to the movement of field materials.
The field, like the wind, can only be made aware of by the way you feel or something you see reflected in its experience. Come sit for a minute under a starry night and think about the field energy of the moon; it resonates its powerful tranquility back to Earth and is part of the restorative nature of our world. It creates a rhythm around us that pulls the field of the Earth in its own direction. We call this the tides, but the tides keep us in resonant flow. It stops the world from standing still in a stagnated expression. This is a powerful dynamic that stops the world from falling out of rhythm.
Could you imagine what were to happen if the world stopped spinning on its axis, or the stars kept falling from the sky? These are interplays of the world in nature, and they help us understand what happens in our own bodies when we attempt to override this system of present moment awareness. The true beauty of your field is what it conveys to you in your moment of knowing.
How are you going to know what actually feels good or bad? Right or wrong, if you dial down your sensory stimulus system so low that it sits in distortion of the information you need to receive?
​
Your field is your best friend. You need this aspect of yourself more than you need oxygen. In some ways it is the reason you can be here at all. Were it not for your field, you wouldn’t be participating in any aspect of your life at all.
Your field is your deepest treasure, and your treasures are all found in your own personal awareness of expansion and contraction.
We can talk about field dynamics for hours. In fact, that’s one of the things you’re going to hear me speak to you at length about in many different aspects of your life. It’s time for you to really know and understand what it is your field is conveying to you and how you can use this understanding and rhythm your whole life through.
Your field is the one aspect of self that is always conveying to you the truth of your experience. When you can read these subtle messagings like a billboard sign in Vegas, you are going to start having a lot more fun in your life. And a lot more health too.
Let's take a look at how energy can be trapped in the body. Whoa…whoa….whoa! How can energy be trapped in my body? How can emotion be trapped in my body?
Maybe we should start with a definition of what emotion is. Emotion is a resonant transformation of a powerful projection of feeling. A feeling should be able to move like a ripple on water, but there is an aspect of self that holds the judgment of a feeling as good or bad, and this is the place where it all gets thrown out of whack. A feeling is meant to be felt.
It’s a signalling device, and the second a person veers away from a feeling communication, the system begins to go into a disordered state. The feeling has to pursue you and amplify until the message is received. When the feeling you are having is responded to in the instant you receive it, all systems are go, and the feeling subsides simply because it was heard and is now available to be in expression of the next necessary bit of information.
Ps, the field is not a linear aspect. It’s not waiting in line to give you drips of information. It is simultaneously sandblasting you with every bit of data you need to know in your present moment awareness.
You can recall a time in your life when you felt powerful emotion. This is an active emotion; it can't subside into a non-energetic (passive) motion pattern without being expressed as a powerful movement first. The movement is the thing that keeps the motion in rhythm. The moment the rhythm is held apart from its natural motion, something else has to give or compensate for the unnatural behaviour of the distorted rhythm pattern.
Call this into your awareness, when you sit down at a table and look around the room. Can you tell what is going on for every person by looking at their face, their mood, their expression, or a combination of all these aspects that are being displayed? Those are your visual cues about what their field is doing in the moment—expansion or collapse.
Now if you look at a person and you like the way you feel when you are talking to them or become aware of them, you are interpreting their field data through your own. You can call this a bit of whimsy, or you can call this an advanced tactical device for living, but what you don’t know and understand can’t bring you the level of fulfillment you can have.
So let’s just keep exploring the nature of the field, and as your understanding grows, so will your participation with life.
Your field is your energy sensor. Now energy has taken a bit of a hit in steadfastness because it has been explained as a woo-woo concept in some spiritual references. It makes people uncomfortable when you try to tell them how things are when you don’t have a tangible reference.
So let’s talk about the ways we know energy isn’t. Energy isn’t anywhere. It can’t be where there is nothing. And that’s it. Everything else is energy in some form of transformation. It is wave patterns, sound formation, light variances, thermal change, and the constant dynamic of motion as it exists in all living things and matter is what energy is.
So what is important to know is that different types of energy have different patterns of movement, right down to your thought wave, which is really a pulsation.
And a pulsation is a brilliant thing; it gives you an intercept point for redirection. And that is a blessing.
You are like a fine-crafted wine, distinct, crisp, flavourful, and delightful. Don’t settle for a life of flat, old, musty pop from the sideshow.
Get going in your expression of robust fullness and engagement to the joy of living a life on purpose, a life of fearless discovery and watch how quickly the wind catches your sails in the direction you want to go.
Go along then. Hop to.

Neutralize Hope, and all You have is Fear
by Janice Brown (December 22, 2024)
Once in a while you’re going to find that the world you left behind pops back into mind. Now, what are you going to do about that?
There’s only here and now, and now is a very precious thing. Keep serving up your tomorrows with now, and you’ll have the deepest understanding of where your mind has been. So let’s just stop for a minute and take stock.
Where am I putting my attention on my body? Am I happy with this experience of my body? Is this a fulfilling type of activity, or is it a stimulus for angst?
What am I experiencing in my mind? Am I sure and steadfast? Smooth and easygoing? Soft and expressive? Happy and outgoing? Or am I uncertain and wary? Conditionally supportive but not really extending my energy there? Wondering what the hell just happened to me? Feeling lost, disgraced, or apprehensive?
Now where did those feelings come from? How did they just appear from out of the woodwork? And where really did you begin to feel that way? Where did you notice it for the first time? What was happening then and what is happening now that is different?
There’s got to be a continuum of directed thought to keep feeling this way, or does there? Now that’s a tricky question. Thought doesn’t just spring to mind. It springs to mind for a reason, and there are some very wonky reasons, so it’s good to be clear on why that is.
The thing that happens internally is that there is a mechanism of action that is put into play, and that mechanism of action is both a relief and a distortion potential. And what really matters is how you play the game. And just like any game, if you’re the dealer, you want to know the rules. So stop what you’re doing and put down the rulebook of your mind and start to look at a fresh new day.
Now what could be different today than yesterday that made you feel better before? Now why is that? See, you’re keeping score, and keeping score is not something that you are aware you are doing. You just keep moving along thinking you’re doing the same old thing when suddenly the same old thing isn’t near enough.
Uh-oh. Might have migrated well-being for a very certain flavour of experience known only to your very own Heart Mind. Now Heart Mind is not a problem. It’s just doing a job that you know nothing of. And that’s the problem with the body too, you know. You think you can go in and tinker a little here and tinker a little there, and you’re toppling systems like you’re turning over a chair.
​
You just have no idea how a Heart and Mind, and a Body and Mind, for that matter, even begin to work. And so you go around turning down all the sounds, thinking they are misfiring when really they are only giving you a reason to believe. A reason that you put there with a very certain level of certainty and then had the gall or the grace to objectify.
Now did you see the words I put right there in front of your face? That’s not very welcome for some of you to consider, myself included, that I could simply have looked at things a different way, and a different way would be looking at me.
Ooooo, do you see that ‘tread carefully’ warning sign starting to pop up on the distant horizon?
​
No? Well, some part of you did, and I’m not talking about a ‘yesterday experience’ in consecutive experience; I’m talking about a brand new way of thinking that’s been replanted like a mouldy old sock into fertile ground time and time and time again. Now this begs the question, why would you do that?
Well, you don’t know you are. You just chuck it up on the wall of happenstance or circumstance and let bygones be bygones and let it be. Or, you decide there was a very certain and specific reason that that happened the way it did, and before you know it, it comes around the corner looking at you to see if you’re looking at me.
Oops…there you are. I must be on the right track. You’re looking for me, and you found me again, and that’s enough to make a wild man’s hair turn grey and start looking under rocks instead of leaping over them. What are you going to do about that when your leaping architecture doesn’t seem to be giving you the time of day for leaping anymore?
Well, you better get out the door and go down to the grocery store and buy a plate of something that’s good for your body that doesn’t come in an ‘actual size’ or ‘shaped bottle’ that the world put it on the planet into. Want an orange? Here’s a jar of them. Want a banana? Let me remove what keeps it nice for you, and put it in a bread bag. Want an old worn-out leather boot? Let me direct a piece of meat down into its very rudimentary pieces, never thinking what the whole of that meat means for me in the very most profound of ways—rhythm.
Food is a rhythm breaker or a rhythm maker, and you just don’t think about it that way. It carries you where you want to go more or less, and the way you’ve been thinking about it is less. Less than it should be. Less than it could be. Less than it was, and surely not more than you need. For God's sake, once in a while just look at your food and say, ‘Oh my God! That’s the most gorgeous thing I’ve ever seen!’ And put that in your belly like it’s going in the right way down, not inside up.
You know what I mean?
​
We can’t live a life of luxurious outcomes if we’re always playing in the ballpark of distortion. And we don’t know what distortion means for us because we’re so busy looking at the next guy, saying, ‘That’s what worked for him.’
Well, that’s what worked for ‘his own mechanism of understanding, belief, and certainty.’ And if you don’t have that dialed in, nothing is going to start turning your wreck around faster than a misbegotten belief being fortified in someone else’s good news or bad news.
Either way, since it’s not your news, all it can do is flare up an old arch enemy or two, of uncertain distribution of the faithful feeling of ‘not well enough.’ And ‘not well enough’ is the root of all beings becoming just a little less than they think they are or should be. Start stacking the deck in that pile, and before you know it, you have a rightful, justifiable cause for believing it can’t be any other way. Or can it?
Now I’m not one to preach or lecture here; I’ve been using some of these devices quite handily for the last number of decades myself, and that’s the thing. I can look back and see where a certain line of thinking came into play and just started being the way I think it was, instead of the way it can be.
Notice I didn’t say, should be. There ain’t no should be in this game of delight and fright. Only, ‘Not that! Please no, no not that.’ And then the steady and assured way of coming around the corner to seeing it all over again. What the fuck are we actually doing here?
Well, my friends, we are transplanting misery right where we think we can find it without looking too far.
​
Why? Why on God’s green Earth would we do that over and over again? Because we don’t know how it works, and it’s a simple misunderstanding placed into a rigid way of being.
And you’re not going to like me talking like that, and that’s why I’m going to take advantage of this series of ‘Feeling better no matter what you think is happening,’ and just rolling the dice on it to see what happens when you start playing with a new set of distortion called, ‘A new development has occurred; how can I rationalize that experience back down into what it was the other day, so I know where I can look where to find it again’ when I go next door on to the next experience I am living and thinking it is the same one as before?
​
Stop it. Stop it. Just stop. Stop looking for a reason why, and start looking for a reason how, and then you’ll really set up a handy pass-it-back-and-forth system instead of a got-you-by-the-ankles breakaway.
What you want is a breakaway.
​
You want to rush that baby down the ice without thinking about it, just moving right here and now in the moment and shoot and score on a new triumphant feeling. The triumph is the magic seasoning on the circumstance of your life.
​Now do you have to walk out the door taking the same unruly path as yesterday to see that it’s the same unruly path? Isn’t that why you’ve cut down all the trees in your area? So there’s no way that you can’t see what’s lurking out there around the next corner? Isn’t the next corner about to greet you with a brand new day of unexpected opportunity and experience?
Oh wait, no. Nothing unexpected here. I put down a roadmap about how to feel ‘exactly how I’m feeling,’ thinking that would be the surest way to be sure of what I’m doing next. Instead of chucking out the salt and throwing a little seasoning in there with a flavour patch of herby delight. Some parsley or some ginger root never hurt anybody if they got round to thinking about it; they just might think they made a brand new flavour bomb for their mouth experience instead of the same old bread and butter sandwich pack of yesterday's dinner delights.
​
It’s not that yesterday’s dinner wasn’t good. It’s that it was an energy that was needed yesterday and not a today moment experience.
And that’s what we need to start thinking.
​
Not rationalizing our way into a box of sameness, but ‘Oh my God, what was that that I just explored with my flavour buds?’ Wanted or unwanted is actually a really good thing to explore here. Not the way you look at it and think, ‘Oh, only one bite of this and 14 bites of that, and if you make this happen this way, then that won’t happen that way.’
Ughhh, what a wrong-minded way of looking at things. Notice I don’t say perceiving. Now perceiving and looking are very different things, and that’s why we need to spend more time just being aware of what we are doing with our minds and not really paying attention to it but just really noticing that there is something curious about this thought that I’ve never had before.
Pay attention. What just happened around that that I’ve never noticed before? Just get curious. Don’t build a map down a dark path to write down where all the bogeymen are. They’re only where you put them. Just write a map about what makes sudden and perfect sense in a new rhythm compared to an old rhythm, and then let’s not compare them. Let’s just say, ‘Cool,’ and get on with the fucking day.
​
The mind doesn’t have to participate in the pacing of an experience the way you have been doing it. The mind needs to skip around and see it differently and say, ‘Hey, there’s something that doesn’t add up here. This is not an ‘A + B = C experience.’ This is ‘a blank slate + a new energy + a new energetic experience’ equation, and ‘that’s not the way we tend to look at it’ experience.
Experience is always new.
We just paint it to ‘look the same’ or ‘look different.’ And if you’re really good at drawing bunny rabbits a certain way and someone asks you to paint a bunny rabbit, you’ll just pick up the pen and draw the same bunny rabbit.
Now if someone asks you to draw a weasly martin sitting on a fence looking down at a baby bird about to learn how to fly.
You might say, ‘Sorry, I only draw bunnies.’ Or you might say, ‘I did, but it’s not a very good drawing.’ And even if it’s not a very good drawing, I’m going to write down how I drew it, so I know how not to draw it again, which is a kind of abject reinforcement of how ‘not to see what you don’t want to see’ but need to look at for a long time, so you can get the description just right, so you don’t see that silly wonky weasel again.
Oh. Hey there it is. Hmm, I didn’t quite get that weasel’s nose right; I better go back to the description panel and re-describe what I don’t want it to be so it can show up again exactly how I don’t want it!
You know what I mean?
In the gentlest sort of way, we’ve been dialing down the description of the experience ‘we do want’ and setting in its place, the descriptor for each and every experience we’ve been having that ‘we don’t want’, without realizing we are diverting it into authority.
It’s not what you need to be doing today that’s different, so much as what you need to ‘describe differently right now’ into a new expression of experience. And I’m not just saying that we have to think our way into a new body shape that’s not like the old. I’m saying you have to let you shine through instead of clamping it down.
And I know that’s not easy; I’ve been trying for ages! Ahhh, see what happened there? The old Yoda wisdom popped right through. But even that doesn’t matter; it's not that there is ‘no try,’ it’s that there is no reason. And when we keep doctoring up the reason for being there, wanted or unwanted, the reason for being there doesn’t get a reason to ‘not.’
Whooooooo ok.
I know this is the thing.
You just have to trust and give room for a little more play in your action. You’re not bounding out the door if you can’t walk out the door, but you could bound out of your mindset. (Whiny voice in the background.) Yeah, but Janice, that’s not so easy either.
Isn’t it? You don’t have to build a stepping stone in your mind to get where you want to go. You just have to decide. Decide is a powerful tool, and when you decide ‘not that way anymore’, very shortly after that a new way has to rise up to meet you.
Now you can continue to turn a blind eye and look longingly at the path from half a century ago or 14 yesterdays, but that’s not going to bring it a single step closer. You have only one step. You can either regurgitate a last experience or step into a new one. And we are good at regurgitating. We just think it's ‘same old, same old,’ but ‘it’s a same new version of a same old’ experience. And we think it’s a safety net, but it’s a redundancy of experience set forward by a decision you made yesterday. Not today.
Tomorrow’s experience lies on what you decide today. Next year’s experience revolves around what you decide today. And I know this is tricky territory because it’s not the rhythm of the day we’re talking about; it’s the rut of the mind that we’re looking at exploring. And a rutted mind is not a wrong mind; it’s just a worn-out patch of carpet.
Carpets can get washed and renewed and re-stitched or thrown away. Throwing things away is a great way of bringing in new experiences. When you put something in a different drawer, you have to think about what you did before and not slip into the autopilot of the unthinking mind.
There are reasons we live the way we do. And they are reasons you have put there for yourself; every single time, unless or until you decide to do something different, nothing will change. And sometimes ‘the nothing will change’ is what we think we want, but we can’t know that through experience until we set up a new device of curiosity instead of uncertainty and sometimes instead of always.
And then maybe when you ‘sometimes for a while,’ something new will streak across the sky, and instead of watching it out your window, you’ll walk out the front door to see where it landed on the ground. And that will be a new way of going for a walk because ‘the something’ never streaked across the sky like that before.
And that’s when you finally have it, a brand new experience, and that’s when, for a fraction of a second, you’ll realize YOU CAN, and it didn’t take anything at all, just moving a step at a time without thinking about it and deciding that ‘this was exactly what you were doing right now.’
Tuesday doesn’t care what you do. And neither does Wednesday or Thursday or Friday. But you know what does care?
Right Now.
Right Now is your moment. It can be so.
I break it down so I can sing from different trees. A tree that grows in the forest isn’t sure how far it can get, but a tree that grows on a mountain breeze is surefooted and tall and half bent.
Excerpt: Stories of a Girl, Book II
Diary of Your Needs and Wants
by Janice Brown (January 20, 2024)
Once upon a time there was a beautiful woman who appeared to have everything but honestly, she was struggling.
Struggling to make ends meet.
Struggling to make it to work on time.
Struggling to get the kids out the door on their way to school.
Struggling to make the repairs that needed to be done on the house.
Struggling to pay the bills.
But all the while walking through the world with a smile on her face, most days. And then, most days, finally caught up with her, and she said, ‘Done!’ And said, ‘What the hell is going on here?’ I’ve set myself up for success. I’m moving forward in leaps and bounds, and yet nothing is ever really changing. Each step I take seems to see me in a backward spiral that never really catches up to itself right side up.
She wandered and wondered and wandered and wondered, and then finally one day she saw it clear as day. She had been focusing on the problem from the wrong end. And now that she knew what to do, she wanted to do it immediately, but an inchworm of fear crept in. ‘What if people don’t understand? What if what I seem to be doing is the crazy thing even though it makes the most sense to me? It put her logical linear thinker into a perplexed state for quite some time. Finally, she just decided. It must be so. And so, it is.
And that’s all there was to the story that wandered her around the neighbourhood through her rose-coloured glasses affixed to a nose she didn’t recognize in the mirror anymore. Who is this person that keeps looking back at me? Can that really be who I am after all these years? She pondered this a little more and finally just surrendered to the fact that she knew it all along. She’d been playing a game with herself called hide-this-dimensional-reality-in-another-time-zone-so-they-don’t-really-sync-up-and-I can’t-understand-what-I’m-doing-wrong-from-one-day-to-the-next!
Wrong? Hmm, no. That’s not really the right word. ‘Seems to be.’ Ahhhhh, that’s better. That’s a much better word to describe a situation that seems to be recurring but is really the exact same story transplanted forward into a new day. A knew day.
If you only knew how many times you tried to plant a new day but simply feel into the same old tomorrow.
It’s a logical sequencing error that occurs for most folks. And most folks don’t pay any heed to the sequence whatsoever. So, when they get to feeling down in the blues or sort of glossed over, they don’t realize they are doing it to themselves.
Now that may seem a little like distortion at the time, but as it acclimates into its steady state environment, it begins to feel like it’s the one thing that’s running the show. That show is the tantalizing story of yesterday, yesterday year, just a moment ago. It’s never really the story about now.
And ‘now’ is the big guffaw.
When people say now, they usually think a split second ago, when I started to say now, but now it’s NOW. Or is it? Now is a landscape of certain transformation. It can allow you to hold your breath until you’re twenty years old. Fifty years older, or into an eternal next year that never arrives. Once you see this in 'plane' form, you’ll understand it to be exactly how your scenario arrived at your doorstep each and every day.
But there’s a juncture in time that not everyone really understands; it’s called tomorrow-next-day. And tomorrow-next-day is a magical day of possibility. All creation really happens in this time frame. And it’s where the proverbial rubber meets the road, baby. So, watch what I’m about to do here as I take a time loop through a sliding door in space-time.
Space-time is something that can really get your knickers in a knot if you keep believing "how it is" instead of how "it’s supposed to be." What? Yup. You heard me right. How it is, is how you get stuck in your time loop. How it’s supposed to be is how it was always meant to be used but never really understood.
So you stand there looking at yesterday’s tomorrow and thinking, ‘I don’t really have time to make myself something fresh and new today, so I’ll just saunter over to another era and pull a plate of spaghetti pasta out of the old windmill and plop it on my plate like it was always going to be there.’
Well, wasn’t it? Didn’t you already plan for it to arrive on your doorstep long before you even thought about what you’re making for dinner tonight? Didn’t you plan it several days ago in a faraway era that doesn’t even know the rhythm of you and how you are, let alone the chemical and constitutional makeup of your very own being?
Now why would you do that? Think about what to eat in a templated format like that. Well, history has shown us that it’s not always what you think you should be doing but what you want to be doing that makes the difference in your experience of self and nature and who you are.
But what if—and hear me out here for a minute—there was no place in time more important than being in than right here, right now, and all you keep doing is transplanting energetics forward and back and never really anchoring into the moment? Just leapfrogging yourself above and beyond it. You’re always just catching up to the same person you thought you were tomorrow, instead of actually being who you are when you get there. Phew!
Yeah... you might need a minute with that one. That one is going to give you pause for reflection.
Ok then, since we’re back to talking about reflections again. That’s not really who you think you are; that’s who you’ve told yourself to be when you get there. ​
When I get up tomorrow and look in the mirror, I want to assure myself of my own continuity. I’m going to put myself exactly there in a way and a form I can recognize. That seems like the right thing to do…
But… what about if you actually allowed yourself to see who you are? Who you are is a magnificent creation. The very finest you’ve ever been.
​
If truth be told, you’d find your own reflection so captivating, so alluring, so fantastical you’d never want to fall into yesterday’s tomorrow ever again.
And now begins the fine-crafted teaching of being who you are without doubt or hesitation, or fear. And once you know who you are, there’s not anywhere you can’t go. Not anything you can’t do.
Not anything you can’t reconcile.
The reconciliation begins with the self and then moves with a templated format out into the ethers and beyond. And beyond is the journey of eternal comprehension. You’re not gonna get it in a day. Not even a week, or hell, maybe even a lifetime. But you can sure start journeying along the way with a little curiosity in your heart, a little inquisitiveness in your mind, and absolute certainty that it’s the best ride of your life you’ve ever been on. It’s assured. It is so. It May be.
That’s a need AND a want. It is assured. Now the tricky thing about space-time is that it always delivers what you need and want in a certain order.
Needs are the order of the day, and wants are a little poof of fluff on the side. Now what’s a girl to do when she gets her needs and wants all tangled up like some kind of clothes hanger tangled in a clothesline? It gets a little perplexing; in fact, it can get downright aggravating, and that is the shining tower of catastrophe with its bow all wrapped up in a knot.
Not what you need when you want it.
But what you want when you need it.
But where did all this need come from anyway?
Need is a practical aspect of self, potentiating itself forward in a dormant format. The dormant part is the kicker. How to get that scoundrel out of the hayloft and onto the platter you’re serving up for dinner or lunch in a timely manner? It’s got some girth to it. Some width. Some real mattering potential, yet there it sits on the sidelines of your life without ever really engaging in the now present moment experience.
So, let’s talk about this in a circular manner, and then let’s give you some direct equations. That will make it feel like this mattering is of far greater consequence than it ever has before.
You want what you want. You get what you get.
Now getting is far superior to receiving in only one way: it is actualized. Now what in the heck does that actually mean? In a manner of speaking, receiving is a templated awareness of allowance. It’s a place where you don’t throw up the roadblocks to certainty and allow potentials to come into your resonant experience through a templated format of knowing and receiving. AND conditional awareness of this makes it a bright, shiny goal post.
Now, were you to think of this from the other angle, I want to see what I get, and then I’ll know I have received; you would realize that all the places you have put this equation into a mattering for it is exactly where you have left it—mattering in no particular direction because the mattering can’t happen without the resolution of the faithful expectation. And the faithful expectation then becomes, I don’t see it, therefore it’s not here.
Where did it go? It went away to a new time zone, the ‘I’ll-pick-up-where-I-left-off-time-zone’ and that is where all your yesterday’s tomorrows arrive. Back on the back burner of your mind. The back burner of your life.
Now, were you to think about this in a new format and templated way, you would begin to see where you have been turning yourself around in circles, looking for no particular purpose, for no particular reason, in the other direction…
Away from your hopes and dreams
AND
Away from your needs and wants.
Now where did this templating error come into play? In the subtlest moment when you simply decided I am not worthy enough of receiving what it is this life has in store for me. That’s it. That’s all.
Now were you to think about this from a new angle, you would suddenly and certainly realize that all you have needed has always been there all along. You just needed to think about this in a new and certain way. The dormant part of your manifestational experience simply lies in the actualizing of the need in certainty. And certainty lies where you don’t believe it can be—in the Heart Mind—not the back of the mind, but the centre of it, in your portal of worth and discernment. And this is the place that only you can know about in a very certain order.
Once you understand where you are coming from, you’ll certainly know where you are going. And when you know, you Know. And that’s all there is to it.
