Reflect on this:
You’re already manifesting. You are already doing it.
Have you ever observed your nervous system ‘beating’ your heart?
How is it doing it?
Observe your nervous system ‘breathing the lungs’.
Ask, and notice, how it is doing it.
the heart is already beating
your lungs are already breathing
Observe the feel of it.
Observe (by feeling) how it is done.
Earth seems to stand still. Yet, relative to the Sun, Earth is speeding at 220 kilometers per second. And yet, it feels like ‘nothing’.
Intelligent people, when asked what’s happening or what they’re doing, often answer ‘Nothing’. When in fact, at that very moment, they are busier than 10,000 metropolitan factories. And it is an intelligent response. Our mind allocates resources to automatize processes that do not require our immediate attention. When we say ‘nothing is happening’, we’re clearing a space and setting boundaries that allow us to choose where to place our focus. It’s a very good idea and an important skill.
But a student and explorer of Mind and Experiencing learns to throw away this Intelligence and to become a Fool.
She learns to see 10,000 things where an Intelligent person sees Nothing.
As a result, this Fool becomes (for a time) unable to answer the simplest questions. “Where are we?” “What’s happening?” “What are you doing?”
Allowing more of what was previously automatic into awareness renders the Intelligent Person Foolish.
And this Foolishness is exactly the place to be.
The student of mind is a Foolish Fool.
With experience and humility, the student of mind becomes an Intelligent Fool. And over more time, a Wise Fool.
Feel free to ignore this Foolishness.
But on this study of Manifesting, try a bit of Foolishness.
Look at things that you ‘already understand’, and notice that you don’t understand them at all.
Try to see where they’re coming from.
notice how you may be contributing to them
then see what else happens…
Sometimes I’d cycle through if some unwanted feelings or doubts came up again until I could hold the feeling.
