Think outside of yourself, your "box"...expand your awareness
So the other night I was in a state of meditation and prayer on the back porch and I started to think about the world around me (the space around me).

I started to see and feel it a touch differently. See normally I would go off to work and work all day, I'd get off of work and go home. I'd be so absorbed in myself that I would rarely even consider my connection to the world around me.

But I started to think about my "vibrational" state of being and how it flows out and connects to all that is around me, I began to imagine that in my vibrational state I am expanded and connected to all of the space in my "yard" and I visualized in my minds eye what that might look like.

I then started to attach to it all in love for the "community" that is around me and I started to see that in some odd way in those moments of synchronicity it is all for me...but at the same time it is for anyone/thing that is sharing this space with me.

We must get out of our selves, out of our homes, out of our yards...we must expand and see and feel that we are a part of something much much bigger then our material. Our material is just a slight extension, a distraction, or a veil that is for many people closing them off.

We disappear into our little boxes and then we connect to a false reality via TV/Internet...we somehow have forgotten we are SPIRIT...and in spirit you are connected to so much more then you may be aware of.

Thank you for your time...and keep expanding!

It's so true that once it's realized that there is no box, awareness does EXPAND.

It's been more than a fair trade for me...hf

You're welcome.

I included that in post a few years ago, and some guy got his lollipop boxers all in a bunch. How dare I be so irresponsible as to post that...lol.

It's a hard concept for some to wrap their head's around, but it's so rewarding once done.

Re: Think outside of yourself, your "box"...expand your awareness
I've always seen the mind as somewhat related to a jar, when open there's an endless amount of things it can receive, but when closed nothing new ever enters and it remains empty and hollow. The key is to always keep an open mind but to also keep yourself grounded in reality when considering new ideas from others.

It's sad...most people walk around everyday unaware of their surroundings. They are stuck in a rut, just doing their daily routine and do not explore, or keep a heightened sense about their surroundings. It's sad.

Re: Think outside of yourself, your "box"...expand your awareness
It makes me think about school and how it "programmed" us to see things. Put us in little boxes closed off from the real world to "learn." It's like on a deeper level they were closing our minds off and disconnecting us from all that we are a part of.

It made us see only little boxes and not accepting that we are part of the entire environment we associate ourselves with. Like I have the choice to see myself as only a person in my home on a pc...or I can see that in this moment my words are being posted and read by people all over the world. I can see that not only am I a person in this one home...but I am part of a community of people and I am a reflection of that group of people. I can then only see myself as a reflection of my current community (where I live) or attempt to it as part of a city or state and see how my community is a reflection of the entire group and so on and so on. We can eventually expand to see how we are a reflection of humanity as a whole and beyond...

Pretty awesome really.

I mean sure being sad about it is an option...but we don't have to be. It certainly sucks that that's the way the system is...but we can't ever change it if we just sit around being sad about it! Gotta wake people up and show them a better way to live! Keep your head up...knowing is half the battle as they say!
