Episode 44 Life Is Curiosity
I wanted to wrap this episode with Hollister Rand about what we found in being open to Life: Curiosity. In these times we need to be open and curious to our own changing inner terrains.
Curiosity is our desire to know or learn something new. It can
also be a strange or unusual object or fact.
It is an attitude, a behavior, an urge, an emotion. It allows you to embrace unfamiliar
circumstances, giving you a greater opportunity to experience discovery and
joy. Indeed, studies show that life is better when you are curious. It is important
to relating to others such as family and friends. We like it when they want to
know about us not just assume what we like and enjoy. It supports good mental
health and in finding meaning in life.
When we let ourselves be present, accessing ourselves as Consciousness,
we are in an open system of state and sense of awareness. When we engage our
realities that are open to new information, we experience evolution. Open, free
of our stories of bias that just become placeholders in our evolving sense of BEing.
Bias creates a closed system of beliefs. When we are in
fixed realities of beliefs, we experience stagnancy. The fix says we have
learned enough about this or that and let’s go on to the next thing without
question or more in-depth exploration. Forgetting that the thing, or fact is
really a belief and not necessarily a truth, just an illusion formed and
created and solidified so it seems real.
In this reality, everything is organized to support the
limited perspective turning it into a habituated resonance. Any new information
that challenges the viewpoint is automatically rejected. The belief becomes a
false truth that seems real. It will take a strong emotional event to question
the status quo. If there is an equally determined frame of reference it will
hold steady or allow for change that will collapse back into the old.
This is how powerful, how in alignment mindsets can be.
Once a choice of thought is made everything will align to keep it in place.
Reality forms, lives follow the dictate.
If we take out the positive AND negative definitions, the
judgments, out of the picture of a limited Self, information can be present
that can be explored as Curiosity engaged. Flow is experienced and what may
have seemed stuck, hard, or rigid becomes malleable and collapses into new
patterns of behavior and thought. Self re-defines anew. What once was, is no
longer. This is flow, this is harmony, this is Life evolving.
But there are many who don’t engage in evolution as a
reality. They harbor dogmas that say to be the same is the best way to live. To
question and display curiosity is threatening. We let another have
responsibility to think for us. It is one way to live.
Then there are those of us who engage in Consciousness,
Oneness and Wholeness as reality and accessing information as easy and everyone
birthright and skill set out beyond the human limits to enjoy what may come, accepting
that adversity and trauma have as much to offer us as the light and fluffy. Life
is a spectrum of sensation, awareness, feelings and thoughts.
We live with a sense of adventure for the unknown, known,
manifested, unmanifested, miracles and magic of experiencing information beyond
our human held limits of Self. Curiosity will release our imagination and open
us up to creative new ways to unify elements held in potential.
We play with Life here before us, Spirits and sprites,
ghosts and old knowledge yet not discovered. We look to connect in new ways and
build buildings. We embrace Science and technologies and explore the heavens and
earth and her landscapes of natural resources and flora and fauna all because
we are curious about Life and the potential to enhance our human experience. We
ask questions to better understand ourselves. We look to the knowledge of our
past histories to explain our “now” in terms of understanding our Journeys of
Enlightenment.
Our curiosity helps us discover the not yet noticed
patterns in behavior and events. We are all enhanced by others and our shared
state of informational flow. Someone else’s curiosity enriches us.
Curiosity connects us to realities filled with delights, thrills,
exploration, adventure, mysteries, quests, ideas, willingness, openness,
challenge, the wisdom of the sages, appreciation and unlimited bliss, creative
communications, our imagination and the wonder, absolute wonder that Life is.
Game on!
