which do we choose? as in which is real or, most real? which is how it IS? or, are both?
Do we say….the second is the real. The first is just a moment at Sunrise, but only because of the particular slant of light
Maybe this is not a good example. But it was presented this morning. How is it we choose the way we experience the world, this Life? In it's most Possible sense? or its most unchallenging?
An article popped up, wouldn't you know, New York Times Do Plants Have Something To Say? by Ellie Shechet who speaks of and interviews an Australian Scientist, Monica Gagliano. 8~26~ 2019 . Toward the end, there is a conversation with Robin Wall~Kimmerer. when asked…."a state of such openness to the conversations of other beings that you can hear them" Asked directly if she had experienced this, she is reluctant. "Suffice it to say i have had experiences of intense focus and attention with plants where I came away knowing something I didn't know before, and its quite incredible. You fee like, Wow, where did that come from".
she speaks once with the voice of her native heritage. then shifts to the voice of the SUNY professor.
Why are we so afraid, or suspect, of the possibility that there is a great and mysterious Planetary Intelligence that now, being threatened in the most ultimate way by human beings , that it would do all It can to reach out, to make Contact? We have believed for generations in a religious myth that states there is one god and a heaven of crowns of jewels and a hell of fire forever. We believe we are living a "democracy" where there are rich and poor, where there are human beings and CHILDREN being incarcerated for NOTHING other than choosing Life and we look away, it's too hard.
but, WAIT!
what am i doing here?
i'm not sure. i'm not sure at all.
