Remembering what is within

I find great joy in mind play, diving through possible other worlds that we call dreams or imagination, while trying to dissect existence as we know it. In my play I sometimes forget to just enjoy being in a human body, then I am reminded of the heart beating in its chest, and the nervous system designed for me to travel through its many parts. As I sat meditating this morning I listened to the clock ticking away time, then a pulse in my ear played a song of joy flowing through my veins and I turned inward and remembered that my body is the first dimension that I need to understand. We so often look in our mirrors and think, that is me, which is easy as pie because our senses tell us so. But as I was just experiencing my body from my brain down, the idea returned that we are more than what we see and feel with the outer nerve endings.
We exist as human forms, we have experiences from birth that make us focus on our exterior and forget about where our human awareness comes from. I remember as a child, being amazed by textures and feeling great joy in not having to wear anything that felt like wool. Because scratchy materials made my skin crawl. The sensitivity of my skin always felt like it was coming from underneath the surface, not from above, as if the fabric was sparking my nerves in such a way that I was aware of them at their ends right below the top layers of skin. As I look back and think, I wonder if most children feel more from within than assuming they are feeling from the outside. It seems to me that we learn to think our senses are poking out of our bodies and we are feeling everything outside. But our nerves all end below the surface and everything we feel is inside. 
Within our bodies we have nerve endings sticking out and touching so many different muscles and organs; these are all places we can experience sensations and feel what it is to be human. From our brains we can stretch out to feel every portion of our bodies. You can follow your nerves out of your brain, down your spine, through the little hole to go around your small intestines to touch down on your large intestines to feel peristalsis from within. You can reach out and feel your fingers or toes from under the skin; or wrapped around your blood vessels anywhere you choose. For me, starting with my heart and feeling the blood flow through those little tubes running all throughout this body was the easiest way to start. The heart is large, it makes a lot of noice and movement, so it is easy to find. 
From within the brain you can even travel around that gray matter, learning to sense where different perceptions and types of ideas or functions are processed. I found this to be much easier after looking over a map of the brain. It can be loads of fun taking a little time to look within using the nervous system as the pathways to access the inner workings of your human form. From feeling the blood pulse through every portion and part, to sensing the lightening fast network of energy and chemicals moving through the brain; there is a wonderland waiting to be discovered. If you are sitting bored out of your mind, sit back, relax and try to feel your pulse from within your toe or finger. It may reveal a memory of things you knew a long time ago. Enjoy every day. 
Love,

PEACE

Nothing forever

 As we drift, free floating orbit within free floating orbit, and so on into the depths of the universe, I see layers of all reality peeling away within and without. We can stretch our minds out across the universe, out beyond the galaxies and beyond any possible edge, until we find ourselves looking into a base structure that allows for varying wavelengths of perception to create what can be pictured as an onion form of space-time continuums. Choose a layer and step into a form that can perceive the grouping of wavelengths and experience the reality it brings.  You are more than just a human on earth, we are more than humans in space. We have access to so many lives and the forms to live them through await our opening up to their senses and allowing ourselves to enter the various worlds in the multiverse. Available to us at the tips of our energy, our brains hold the keys as we learn to change what they are allowing in. In error, we live from form out, assuming that the self is based

Desire vs desire

The calm mind , distracted by the other mind, moved from its position of rest by someone else's desire. Balancing out your own thoughts is a challenge, take care when someone else's desire compounds your own. Live by the energy of existence, move with desires that come, but do not let them turn you down a path that makes you forget your balance. Let your inner child play in love as a child should, and remember that there can be simple balance in your actions.  Take rest when needed, but remember to be active in your experiences while being mindful of how you are interacting with the world. There are billions of reasons for you to move, so many activities for you to enjoy. Come and play, come and learn, come and live. We can sit and lose ourselves in digital distraction, we can focus on food and rest, then work passes by as the cycle goes on day by day. Being distracted from thinking and moving is easy, it is simple and can seem like fun because the mind feels stimulated, but

Adult play

Imagination holds keys to every inventive creation in existence.  Where does creation begin and how far can existence reach?  These questions can send the mind over edges of understanding so as to expand the boundaries of knowing.  When we were young, we would use imagination on a daily basis and it played a key roll in our development.  Many of us let go of imaginative play and use logical play to overcome problems that we face as adults.  Is this the best way to go, is it serving humankind in the best possible way?  Does logic make us better people, are we nicer, more caring towards each other and happier when we allow logic to be our basis of thought instead of imagination?  I can only tell you my perspective, though I hope it is not wrong, because I have wasted so much time if my thinking has been used incorrectly.   I have been working to empower my imagination for most of my life, making it more accessible to my mind so I can tap into it any time of the day.  We may think that
