Witnessing creativity.
I know a guy who will go out and pick up a rock from his backyard then carve it into something wonderful. Figures of animals, pictures of scenery, tiny little 3-d scenes. Beautiful stuff.
My mother wrote short stories. She would have liked to have them published, but didn't. Instead, she picked up her guitar and strummed a tune while she told the story to us kids. Man, that was magic.
Also, as kids, on Easter we'd receive a plastic egg that had a little slip of paper in it. A clue to find another egg, which contained a clue to yet another, then another. Eventually, the basket. The search was truly a treat better than the prize.
I have a friend who took a basic computer setup, took that out, put this in, added this or that and ended up with a working network of electronics. For me, who knows next to nothing about stuff like that, it was amazing. Like taking a calculator and adding stuff until you had a microwave oven. Quoting: run-n-hide
It is only the limitations placed upon self that limit the mind from the dictates of unimagined creativity.
People never cease to amaze me, my grandfather was one who enjoyed watching people, everyday till he died he would venture out and walk to a park bench sit, and watch people. he liked 'em.
I appreciate creative people, they are the dreamers who make make this world explode in novelty, imagination is the key. |

A passion for compassion perhaps...googled a bit and found this:

She said, “I firmly believe that all human beings have access to extraordinary energies and powers. Judging from accounts of mystical experience, heightened creativity, or exceptional performance by athletes and artists, we harbor a greater life than we know. There we go beyond those limited and limiting patterns of body, emotions, volitions, and understanding that have been keeping us in dry dock. Instead, we become available to our capacity for a larger life in body, mind, and spirit. In this state we know great torrents of delight.”

Tough question, and the reason we have so many damned people out there hawking the wares of rewiring DNA and language an so forth, but I am seeing in science an understadning of our brain and it's hardwiring thorugh time called a nueral net.
Only recently have scientists been able to learn how the neural network of the brain forms, this is key to expansion:
The Growth of Your Amazing Neural Network
Before birth you created neurons, the brain cells that communicate with each other, at the rate of 15 million per hour! When you emerged into the world, your 100 billion neurons were primed to organize themselves in response to your new environment – no matter the culture, climate, language, or lifestyle.
During infancy, billions of these extraordinary cells intertwined into the vast networks that integrated your nervous system. By the time you were four or five years old, your fundamental cerebral architecture was complete.
But it is important to realize how to rewire this neural net by expansion.

I think the timetested one is meditation, yoga flow, prayer and exercise of mind/body/spirit
One of the reasons I come here... 
Interestingly enough, discovering your passion helps your brain stimulate and work by focusing postive intention due to it being a passion you want to do it, therefore you are rising.
I believe that revelation is the rock upon which all should be built, therefore, asking genuinely and proper intention, you will acieve your answers just by being.

Conscious Neural Nets
The movie "What the Bleep Do We Know?" introduced us to the concept of neural nets, communities of neurons (brain cells) that form in response to repeated experiences. They are the anatomical explanation for what we may commonly refer to as an "automatic pilot response." Quite simply the premise is this, the more often we have a given experience, the stronger the relationship becomes between the brain cells whose communication fosters the mental/emotional/physical processes that support and create the experience. Another words,"cells that fire together, wire together."
If an experience is a positive one, like remaining calm and happy in the face of difficulties, the neural net that supports it is desirable. However, if the experience is a negative one, like having an anger response to any level of stress, the neural net is problematic. The most desirable outcome would be achieved through the disintegration of this neural net and the creation of one that would produce a more positive behavior pattern.
If you follow your pasion, it is in that repitition that you release your self inflicted limitations. How often do you here advice to youngsters, go for the money and they end up with great gigs but end up miserable.
How many follow the dictates of there heart and end up fuller because each day they do what gives them fulfillment, the are living there passion. |

I lost a whole sememster in college trying to solve Zelda, had wednesday Techmobowl championships, yup I am a gamer, but alas I have lost the edge, after my nephew at 12 beat me 80-6 or something as humiliating in the new Madden a few years ago, I had to let it go.

Truth is what all seek, as creatures of free agency we seek to know the rightful path, that dwelling place that internally we feel we have strayed from, it is a most worthy pursuit and the reason that most come to these pages I think. I would add that when we change our reference point to one of novelty and beauty, the godforsaken self inflicted pain dissipates ever so slowly and the conjoining or mergence occurs subtly adn then the next thing you know you are smiling.
I remember reading P. Coelho book in which he states that we should all always seek the horizon line, in other words, as we walk about in life look around you not dwell in your little sphere, watch others as they pass you most look downward not addressing anyone, keep the head up, smile adn what what that little shift will do in the godfilled world...bless you. |

Indeed, those are wonderful passions, dissecting information is a passion of mine as well as reading. I see where photography could have the awesome effect, especially nature. I just red last night about this phenomenon somewhere can't remeber, where everyone stares at the sun fro a time then it moves like a comet everyone there sees it, but if you take a picture of it it stays still. Don't know why that jumped in my head, mornign to you Heidi, nice to meet you...bless you, love is the answer.
I also remember a statistics class I was attendign and the teacher was of mideastern decent adn he related this story of how a history professor came into his room and asked that he keep it down they were studying next door, and his response was, " well come over here, what I teach(math) is universal, what you teach is what they want you to, the victor always tells the story. That stayed with me for all these years, and I can't remember a damn thing about statistics...LOL!
Here is an excerpt from what I was talking bout above:
Among the Marian apparitions in this century have been those at Fatima, Medjugorje, and Conyers. Only the visions at Fatima, Portugal, in 1917 have been declared authentic. They were reported by three shepherd children, only one of whom talked with the Virgin. She was ten-year-old Lucia de Jesus dos Santos, an obviously fantasy-prone personality who frequently claimed to see angels and other apparitions and whose own mother described her as "nothing but a fake who is leading half the world astray." The events culminated on a rainy October 13 with an estimated seventy thousand pilgrims in attendance. Suddenly, Lucia directed everyone's gaze upward as the sun appeared from behind clouds whereupon many experienced what is known in the terminology of Marian apparitions as a "sun miracle." The effects are varyingly described but many say the sun performed strange gyrations none of which actually occurred, as astronomers know. The effects were surely optical ones. For example, because one cannot focus on an object so bright, the eyes may dart back and forth, thus creating, by the effect of image and after-image, the appearance that the sun is "dancing," or the eyes may attempt to focus, retreat, again attempt, and so on, thereby giving the illusion that the sun was "pulsating."
Sun miracles are still reported at such modern-day sites as those which began at Medjugorje, in the former Yugoslavia, in 1981, and Conyers, Georgia, in 1990. Unfortunately, some pilgrims have reportedly suffered retinal damage at some sites, and there has lately been a tendency to discourage the masses from staring directly at the sun. Instead, many are now attempting to photograph the sun miracles with video sequences and polaroid snapshots (mentioned earlier). The former sometimes record an apparently "pulsating" sun, but that is due to the automatic light meter shutting off and on.

Medjugorje is a very sacred place where many miracles occur often. The greatest of these miracles is the actual appearance of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Her apparitions are visible only to some however, and as far as I know they have never been caught on video. However, accompanying the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin are many other miracles such as the one in this video. It is a spectacular recording of one of the unusual behaviors of the sun at this holy place. There have been instances when the sun will flash different colors. At other times the sun will shift its postition in what many refer to as the dance of the sun. I once saw another video of the sun blinking on and off. This particular video shows the sun as a black sphere with all of its usual radiant brilliance eminating from it.
One of the things that I find rather puzzling about the video is the seeming lack of notice by some of the people that appear in the video at the end. They seem to be preoccupied with another miracle which has been ongoing for a very long time at Medjugorje, and that is the water that drips from a statue of Christ. There is no physical explanation for this because there are no water pipes nor any other source for the water. This may explain why the people don't notice the incredible appearance of the sun. I guess with all of the miracles occurring at Medjugorje it is difficult to focus on all of them at the same time. Nevertheless, at least the person who videotaped the miracle was attentive.
Many miraculous events accompany the appearance of the Queen of Heaven -- Mary. It demonstrates that the power of Heaven extends beyond the Earth even to the Sun and beyond to all of creation.

Are you happy with the reflection?
Are you passionately in love with the reflection, are you seeing God when you view that mirror? |
