We are surrounded by mystery. Yet we each have de-cided, made de-cisions (made mystery smaller via in-cisions, incisiveness) to carve out portions of mystery into recognizable THINGS and live within this narrow world. We create, as individuals and as a society, a tomb in which we dwell. (To de-cide, in this sense, is a form of sui-cide.)
Most others around us agree that the world created by this de-cisive process is Reality, so we blithely continue in this self-hypnotic state supported by our culture and our local thought community. Mystery dwells within the outer and the inner infinity which we are. And not just within. We ARE this mystery.
When we know this, the world transforms.

We narrow the world to allow an illusion of control that makes us erroneously believe we are secure. Ironically, the only real security comes from letting go; from allowing the Mystery to unfold, becoming open to what we do not know.
ReplyDeleteThis interplay with the Mystery allows for a collaboration to take place, where the seeds of our imagination take root in what is coming to be. Thus we find control through letting go.
