Have YOU been to a “muse-eum” lately? It is a presentation utilized in every culture, each one showcasing a focus of its own, whether it encompasses the art of man, highlights the design of nature, presents historical perspectives or captures the excitement of discovery.
Connectedly and individually, WE are the force behind an ever-expanding universe. Each in our own direction, we do both, light upon and disengage from places, people, things and experiences – sometimes never to return and sometimes never able to let go, while moments, days and years expire behind us and our existence alongside them contours perpetual change. As time progresses, with it, so does our “musing,” for we never, ever stop thinking. Even in rest, our thoughts translate themselves into dreams to remain alive.
An acorn will fall from a tree only at the time that nature’s terms create that directive. In much the same way, so will a squirrel be dutifully bound by instinct to gather that acorn, to bury it and, later, again within nature’s command, to find it no matter what weather has moved it, what pushed it deeper into the ground or spoiled it in the following seasons. It is by virtue of consciousness and will, however, that only humankind can choose to ignore that acorn, to plant it, to kick it, to make art of it, re-plant it, profit from it, share it or simply never return to where it fell again. It is through intention that we are, each one of us, an individual world, each in pursuit of independent thought, consistently evolving and involving with a realm of our own.
It has been called a “secret,” this rather well-known idea that we simply think and, thereby, become….but, ironically, it is never, ever hidden! Clearly laid out before us, it proves itself over and over again in our results as WHEREever you are, WHOever you are and WHATever you are experiencing was and will always be, at first, simply and only a thought! From basic pottery to finely chiseled sculptures, from hieroglyphics to poetry and to HTML code – what museums display with reverence and preserve encased in glass are the very manifestations of our thoughts as they came alive within our specific contribution to universal expansion within a particular time. Our minds travel….. yet their physical realities remain behind symbolically as artifacts of those expired moments of musing….and so it is for just about anything we can point out: from a book or a building, a recipe or a painting….to a relationship or a business, a fail or a win!
Formidable forces, our thoughts! Our ability to think unquestionably empowers us with infinite choice! We truly are innately successful at thinking and manifesting. Yet….are we versed enough in choosing WHAT we think and actually remaining aware that it always has an outcome? So often we speak in this oxymoronic language that refers to our deepest knowing as a secret, and, in doing so, we confuse and lose hold of our conclusions. This is the reflection of our opposing intents. We search for “detailed summaries” when desiring to gain the power of “more” information. We revel in the “winsome” outcomes of “religious wars” as if they could bring us the “peace,” we believe in, or we memorize the facts of “modern history,” to gain ability over the “present.” We trust in” fat-free ice cream” to achieve “a thin physique” as if it was happiness and we choose “color-safe bleach” to preserve bright hues then turn to junk food when most craving “nutrition.” How often are we taking a left when we meant to go right or responding with a “sharp curve” to” turn around and get to the point?”
The answer depends on WHO is driving: the conscious mind or the subconscious mind, for with the first we must think in order to decide. With the second we step aside from our awareness of and intention of thought to allow what we “think we know already” to certify that decision as if it were law. Both can be good choices as long as they are correct in the purpose and both will be very good choices made stronger if there is the power of agreement between them. Without that friendly synergy at the mental helm, however, we are likely to swerve in the direction that our entrapped musings will take us to – as they masquerade themselves as “sound decisions,” “the obvious,” and the all-too touted “logic,” all-the-while landing us incongruently in territory that will always take us by surprise.
In fostering our individuality, we, too, have encased our handicrafts and images where they can be referenced and serve, in each and of ourselves, as our own “muse-eum.” What revelations are presented to all who visit the Museum of YOU?
The visuals encompass YOUR art….
What lives there is illustrative of YOUR interpretation….
All is reflective of YOUR perspective….
….and, as in every purposeful exposition, continued discovery and expansion will weave the way progressing to new wings and wider exhibition. What a wonderful intrepidity to know that in all of this time and space and in all eternity YOU have been, YOU are …..and YOU will continue to be the curator all along! How compelling it really becomes then to assure that we recognize our bearings in this understanding for just as we would practice accuracy in a search of the exact URL when we seek reliable information on the internet, we must do the same when we search for WHO we are, WHERE we are and WHAT we are…….our own “WWW,”…..per se…..so that we can direct our thoughts to WHO we also CHOOSE to be, to WHERE we WANT to go and, positively, not only WHAT, but HOW and WHEN and WHY! It is our Timshel………..our boundless “Mayest.” It is the infinite possibility that for each of US, uniquely, exists only at www. INTRAYOU.
What an inspiration to have this latitude that is all our own: to explore, to deliberate and ,certainly, absolutely and forever to muse! After all……There’s no place like…………..Well………………………………………… It just kind of just makes you want to click your heels and go HOME…..Now doesn’t it?
