ECLIPSED

*Total Eclipse of the (He)art

Moonglow Sunburst:

A 90 minute event, transformed the Nation and the World with new technology and heightened enthusiasm.  With awe and wonder, we watched, cheered, laughed, and cried, a display of vivid emotions, heart felt.  

I watched "live...."

Jackson Hole Wyoming scenes were particularly memorable, the sharp mountain peaks went dark!  Silence! 

Carbondale IL, ** "but clouds got in my way"....seconds of light shining through a dark rain cloud hovering above.  Some viewers in various  locations related that during totality, there was an "ethereal blue" tone to the landscapes. "Yes~"

I checked out our own landscape during partial coverage, I watched as the cloudy bright sky became a shade darker, I noticed subtle shades of green and blue mutate to a calmer frequency.  I felt intensity and excitement.

Thinking back to more primitive times, when the world turned dark for a brief time.  How would I feel then?  

I made drawings and marked in the colors, intense fast fun.  I watched and wrote at the speed of light, absorbing a timeline of timeless magic flashing quickly before me.  The diamond ring appears!  Spectroscopy, a neon rainbow of data, shows a feast of light and color. 

Smile!  

Recently, in Possibly Present, the previous post, I felt "somewhat connected." 

During the eclipse and afterwards I experienced "perfectly present" moments of being absolutely there~ in a span of focused concentration.

"Imagine"

POSSIBLY PRESENT

Possibly Present in Every Way~ ?

Zoe drew a sketch:  We have the "Earth"  peppered with "people" on your left view representing "Normal Reality."  There is a bridge connecting Earth to the "Beyond," multiple dimensions of "Non Physical Reality" on your right.  People on Earth may be more grounded (rooted in reality) or not (out there:  dreamers, mystics, writers, artists, musicians and many others).  Some people can co exist in several dimensions at once, in a harmonic balanced blend. 

"It's fun up there!"

"Where are you in the spectrum of present on Earth or in the Beyond?" Zoe asked.

Without hesitation I replied, "I'm way out there right now."  For a short while, recently, I actually felt more rooted to Earth, more in the moment, more spontaneous, yet less creative, restless for the missing 'me.'  I started drifting out again...."


 Questioning a friend, "Where do you feel you fit in to the broad spectrum of physical and non-physical reality or a blend of each?"  

"I'm possibly present."

"I like that!"


** Face Forward:

Wander and Wonder:

Fully Present? 

How might I feel then?  Am I more willing to experience activities and new adventures?

More social, let go and relax more, less drive to achieve, less OCD, more flexible

Less controlling, less agitated.

Link more ideas and data together, active and dynamic learning.

Feel more like a team player, part of group activity, a feeling of belonging.

However:  far less motivated~ more of a drifting carefree attitude, more enjoyment of life, food music, etc. 

Out There?

Creative inspiration, strong feelings to paint or write

Intuition deepens

More solitary

Motivational drive to achieve

Increased OCD and edgy drive, "my stuff my way~"

Some areas of daily life and tasks may actually be more organized in this mindset, usually in short bursts.



* Shirley MacLaine speaks of "Multidimensional Identity" part of which can be non physical childhood friends.  I certainly have them in the forms of animals!  The many incoming images feed my desire to draw and paint animals....and more.

Meditation is "really hard" being an overachiever, Shirley also commented.

Sitting still, when we can, nourishes and energizes every dimension of our physical and non physical selves.

*** Future Forward
