Lies we tell ourselves...
...our false realities based on how we believe others perceive us, and staring at the sun
We are told not to look directly into the sun.
Yet, especially low in the sky, the purple-torquise plasma filaments from the sun, very similar to the plasma streams that are the ‘Northern Lights’ and ‘Southern Lights’ (Auroras Borealis and Australis) to me feel so very enriching.
Especially breathing slowly, and drinking and smelling something that fuels my feelgood receptors, in a healthy natural way. Or as healthy as I know how and can afford.
It is especially healthy to relax and be kind to ourselves.
This for me is in many ways the experimenting with my health at the level of the soul.
Do not try it yourself. Or perhaps do.
I am not blinded by this plasma energy; the transcendence beyond e=mc2; the embracing of my mortality and my angel soulful self; the submission and openness to being my own god.
Instead I am (thankfully less every day) blinded by the lies that I tell myself, based on what I mistakenly have believed (and to an unknowable extent I still believe) to be what other people think and feel towards me.
I'm learning now at 66 years of age, much better how to get to know myself, rather than rely on my reflection of myself in others.
From inside our cars or other glassy vehicles we can see out, rarely realising that usually the people in the streets cannot see us inside, when we are waving a kindness or greeting, or simply smiling an unconditionally loving hello.
Misunderstandings. Unseeings. Unknowings. Guessings. Assumptions.
We are each and probably as one in a timeless illusion, all ‘JoHari Windows’ infinitely dimensioned. Creating false realities every moment.
Glass can reflect, block, and alter awareness and realities, rather like the emotions of our minds, hearts and guts. And this becomes part of our wonderment at who and what we are and what anything actually is.
I wonder. Do you?
Love and thanks, Alan
Absolutely Allan, I have just come in from standing at the front of my house for twenty mins in the sunshine to the remark your nuts ,and now back to my 2nd favourite pastime substack and a coffee
Interesting and thoughtful, maybe we think this way because we approach retirement which creeps up behind us and taps us on the shoulder.
I hit retirement age two years ago when the government lockdown was ending and didn’t trust them, I wonder why, so I continue with my work but only part time.
This gives me time to think about my future and my family, I’ve been happily married for 35 years to the prettiest girl in town and realise how grateful I am for that.
Keep up the great work Alan.
