I recognize myself as being a deep thinker. One of my greatest joys is receiving spontaneous insights that appear and compel me to write, or try to write them down. These feelings and the thoughts that ensue from these sacred moments reinforce the higher source from which comes this Inspiration and gives me a true sense of connection, peace, and joy. I am open to receiving this at moments of meditation, walking, listening to music, and any simple task that requires repetition, but very little thought. It also gives me a more satisfied and settled feeling when I am on my own and not distracted by others.
Herein lies the conundrum for me. When I go about my daily routine in the world, and perform all the pragmatics of existence, I naturally encounter other people. Occasionally I have wonderful conversations and engage in laughter and comradary. Much of the time, though, I feel like I'm coming down from the clouds and am forced to relinquish this revelry for a rather diminished environment. One that offers a minimal amount of satisfaction and reward. In other words, it's hard to feel that excited and inspired with others on a day-to-day basis. Sometimes they are even boring.
I have no delusions of having more consciousness than any other human being walking this planet, but the internal experience during those moments of inspiration are so profound that other life experiences feel much less compelling and memorable . My challenge is to find inspiration and elevation of spirit in whatever way I interact in this world. If I follow my true sense that there is Divinity in every form, both physical and super physical, then the potential for a more enlightened experience each day is there. It has to be my choice to be open and willing to experience it. It's kind a like cable television. You can have a few channels or you can have hundreds. It's up to me to choose how many ways I want to be open to this amazing experience. I have to make sure I get the Divine Discovery channel.
