Extended: On the Pace, Size and Location of Things (Including You)...
To be here, you are there. Your body runs itself without your help (it's a chance). The what of your who.
In This 1st Extended…
What does the continuity of things have to do with layers of physical reality?
How different are you, in scale, compared to your body and its processes?
The physical location at which you “shoot” yourself from, where does it land?
What does awareness have to do with it all?
Major Practical Takeaways (or, what internalizing what you’re about to take in can do for you):
A shift in the way the motioning of things inside your body takes place.
An alignment toward events outside your body which then approach and adapt because of it.
The recognition of the aliveness in you and what you can do from “there.”
A preparation for volition and exercising taking off “directly from you.”
This month’s upcoming Extended content and Deployment:
You can read and listen to this Extended today using the voiceover audio file at the beginning of this post with my narration, and the accompanying write-up following below.
Now, here’s to it (hit play first, if you will):
To be here, you are there…
The pacing of things, the goings and comings, the heightened emotions and the not so much so. Everything continues, including you. The pace of your body's processes, the thumping of it all inside, even though you might not "hear" it in that way. The you inside your body is busy, I know. Mainly with thoughts and emotions, because of those thoughts; or emotions that are giving you thoughts. Either-or, you're there. Observant or not, you are there inside somewhere. And this "where" you're at inside doesn't talk much. At least, not in a way that would give you hints, in the way you're used to getting hints. It’s subtle. It’s subtle there inside.
Your body runs itself without your help…
If you stay with it, the location of you inside, you might find you. And when you do, you can look around you, you have that opportunity to. What you find is that throbbing, that busyness of things inside the body; all yours, but nothing to do with you. You are not even controlling it, you wouldn't even know how to start.
It's a chance!
A chance to discover, to explore. To realize the difference between you and the distances inside your body; all yours, but not you. The distances in physical space between you and the spaces of the body. You quickly realize there is a difference. There is a huge difference actually, and it is of scale. The scale of the body is huge compared to the scale of you "suspended" in it, in that hovering movement. A "point of you," and the whole world of the body outside, around you, but inside the body still. Not that much different than the whole world outside the body for the body and for you inside of it. You quickly realize you're dealing with layers of physical reality being separated in that way. And there is chance! Once again.
: to hold on to staying with it a little bit longer.
A chance to investigate further; see the "what" of your "who," and face it. Stay with it longer, if only you would. You would see the world through different eyes, the eyes that don't need nor nudge the visual cortex; an independent set, completely separate from the body's. And yes, it sees. It also hears, but does not rely on the senses of the body.
"What what of my who?!"
The infinitesimal you. And in this sense larger in physical scope than the entirety of the body. It extrapolates the size of the body in size, off into a different scale, if you were to zoom in and “expand” into it. Trillions of particles of you, quanta, the plural of quantum, at that scale.
The physical constituent elements responsible for giving way to the only thing we know of the life of ours with certainty: that we exist. Or else how else could you know it? Somebody else telling us wouldn't cut, would it?
This certainty does not begin in and with the body. It does not even ask for the body's permission to have it. It comes ingrained within the potency (physical measurable properties) of you; yes, sustained by those specific physical constituent elements "residing" inside your body, supporting your stay. How else could you change your personality, your "personal reality" as they say, that you could change, your existence remains, no matter what. How else could you transform.
