The Mind Is A 'Wonderful Thing' Wot!

The mind is a 'wonderful thing' wot!

As long as you are aging or persisting in time - you are alive as this unique you.

So ageing is not death and doesn't cause it - but you can see it that way if you want.

Likewise your risk of death in this very moment is zero - because you are 100% alive even if your  systemic noise to signal ration makes a case for a partial state of aliveness. The quality and current state of your experience may be anything in any set of ranges - but by God - you are the witness to Life is - and not the dead witnessing to Life was - but death deleted it.

This is not very 'spiritually correct' in a dead world under dead management - but lets say that the mind's defined identity in this life is not the Life itself - but an expression of such a focus in the frame of time and space, then you can recognize you are supported in the acceptance and exploration of your thought (self-definition) so as to be able to live under constant threat of death and have the benefits thereof - or some other way of embodying Life.

Thus at the level of mind-substitution for a real life, is the ability to in a sense be already dead - as a sort of pre-emptive ultimate vaccination. My Dad was a bit like that - "Better to never have loved than to have loved and lost" could have been his motto. But that is simply the expression of defence of an unhealed heart and not the truth of the love that he simply was and is - in my life - though he gave up the ghost of the struggle to maintain his defences against overwhelming odds.

I don't know 'where I go' when I 'fall' to sleep and have no way of knowing how to wake or for sure whether I will. Indeed the next moment could be a surprise!

Takenforgrantedness is surely dead to the living world.

The mind can be a very useful tool but  like the internet - a poor choice of persistent fixated focus. The idea of death can be used to bring ourselves truly present - or to absent ourself under a sense of dissociated thinking that doesn't add even a cubit to who we are - (what's a cubit? ;-)

Obviously there is a love of problem solving within the human predicament - so much so that our answers seem to grow more heads to the problem - but as if new problems.

What if opening all facets of an issue to communication allowed a process of reintegration, resolution and reconciliation? Some of which some of us find during our preparations to let go of whatever life is - or seemed so definitely to be at the time.

When I lost a beloved to sudden death - the nature of it pulled the rug  - nay the foundations from beneath me such as to not have any personal sense of an ability to live on - but life from a deeper place recognized the 'invitation' or opportunity to exit and did not choose it - one moment at a time over a long time. There are 'mysteries' that are felt and known that cannot be articulated or anatomised that are in a sense the underlying reality to this balancing act we call the world.

Without denigrating our physical embodiment - we are not obliged to confine to its definitions - that in fact we give it as our 'model' of self in relation to another (relational being). The range of nutrients includes whatever is your meat - or bread - but you live by a whole convergence or focus of activities and events - as do we all - and by far the most of which are out of range to our little minded thought.

That Sun activity has effect on the heart is already intimating a greater environment that keeps time to an invisible music.

Who knows whether this one gets past Malcolm. But when I write to one I write to all.

Anyone aligning in their own integrity of being will encounter exclusion in a world of lies. It may not seem so at the time because we are trained to see what is wrong with everyone else. Reintegrating to a deeper or more embracing (and timeless) awareness is not in order to get a longer or better life for oneself - but to open a better perspective in terms of self-integrity that naturally extends to others - because it is beneath all the crap I took to be myself and struggled with(in).

So many are trained to seek union in a negative that they are completely unaware of what they are doing. Friends who only agree are feigning - so as to bubble or wall out what the relationship is being used to hide. No blame in that as a conscious choice to share something worthy together. But when cliqued into habitual identities that run in place of relationship, it is running exactly like the institutions we like to judge against. the establishment is those who have enough of what they want from the way it currently is - and those who have so little they are afraid of losing the little they have in any real change.

is it possible to die while still alive - in terms of renewal and refreshment? Or is the old dog condemned to the same old tricks? The principle is simply a curiosity - lived. Not a dramatic rebranding. Perhaps we can choose to die consciously or to hide? But this would likely be the result of living this way and not suddenly releasing ingrained habits of thought just because the body falls off. The best prediction is always a now-update in terms of all the energetic variables present as probable futures. The act of predicting - itself - changes the balance. But its only a reading of what is currently in motion in current framing.
