Meditations

I think, I said, that the shape of all my thoughts
Must be somehow inseparable from the contours of my brain
I like to think myself responsible for my ideas
And yet they are as much the accident
Of my cerebral architecture,
As they are the spike of my own will.

She said, I think that this creates a problem
For now no two may share the same idea
No single person think the same thought twice
Nor several hold the very same opinion.
What’s more, emotion becomes entirely individual:
Love shared is an illusion.

    I like to think that all of this life is the illusion of separation from pure positive energy (Source, God.. Universe whatever you call anything outside of time/space reality) .. but the thing is I feel that time space reality is a huge necessary part of the equation for the expansion of all that is..
    Love is .. that nothing is more important than that we feel good.. so when we feel good… we allow for the connections that serve our moments.. We are perceivers of our own universe and that is impossible to share here in this continuum .. but take away time space reality.. and you have total connection to ‘all that is’ which is constantly becoming.
    I just have stopped ‘trying’ to connect to others and focus on what makes me feel good – (thoughts- what am I thinking right now that feels good or not) which when I focus on feeling good I have noticed that my life externalized starts to feel good too, and my experience is I no longer feel disconnected.. so by allowing for everything to be as it is and pay attention to how I feel (either I feel good about what I am thinking or not) I seem to feel more connected than I ever have before without trying to connect.
    Allow allow allow… It’s all good when you can choose right this moment how you want to feel.
    Everything ..past present and the future can change in an instant, by focusing on ones NOW. .. any way… it was the last line that brought about such a long ass comment.. your very intelligent and an excellent writer!!!

    Thank you, Linaji. I cannot profess to be entirely on track with everything that you said, although I would agree with your general assertion that all experience is individual, and that appreciation of the world in which we live is best experienced if we take that into consideration, and cease trying to conform to what we (subjectively) mistake to be the consensus perspective. Unless I have misunderstood you, you also seem to be implying that love is ‘merely’ the practical upshot of two people who seem, so far as they are each personally concerned, to share the same delusion. I would agree :-)
