I spent a week at a Christian holiday camp with my family. There we discussed the four chapters of Jonah in the Bible. With six days and only four chapters to the story of Jonah I was thinking this was going to be such an easy study for the whole week.
Unbeknownst to me there was so many elements of expansion to explore in those four short chapters. Which led me to realise, that everything isn’t just what it seems at first glance. We might think we understand the overall message but after breaking it down verse by verse it became an entirely different message from what I first thought it was. This is the beauty in accepting experiences with an open heart and an open mind. Our reality changes every second we are aware of a new experience. Therefore reality is really never fixed, it is constantly changing!
Is there a need to educate myself? Yes, of course but is there a need to hold onto anything as truth? No, absolutely not!
What Do I Do Now?
If reality is constantly changing then what do I invest my attention on? My only guess is to surrender to everything, everywhere, all at once. A true constant is that this reality can in fact alter from a switch of perspective and because I am part of that ever changing reality then the reality which I once believed to be me isn’t fixed either therefore I can be free from self judgement or judging anyone ever again. I can however now accept that all possibilities do exist and therefore focusing on awareness as creation of all things to open up endless possibilities for me to experience.
Absolem
This might all sounds something out of Alice in Wonderland. I do feel Absolem was right when he quoted “I can’t go bak to yesterday because I was a different person then.” Sitting on his mushroom, smoking his hookah, eventually morphing into a butterfly. Can I too gently evolve while humbly seeing the changing realities of this Wonderland?
