Dalante: I too wish I could be in this state more often, however there is no way to just enter the state at will. I think that the only way to enter it is to be doing something that you completely resonate with. However I think your external circumstances, such as to what extent you are living your life purpose has a great impact on this. Also I think that being able to meditate and having experience with clearing away the clutter in awareness helps a lot.
I totally resonate with the concept of not being able to fully identify with your own writing, I guess it's just that I'm continually developing my ideas and learning more, of course my viewpoints are going to shift. I think an interesting exercise related to this is writing a letter to yourself in the future. That is to say you write a letter seal it put it away and forget about it for a period (say 1 year) at which point you open it and read it and see a different person talking to you.
I like the way you expressed it TechnoGuyRob, let "ideas fight it out in their own little universe". I used to always express it as having continually changing "beliefs" but I guess not having "beliefs" at all is the same thing, because If I accept that my "beliefs" are not really enduring and permanent, then are they really "beliefs"?
I'd be interested in reading your essay on the matter.  |
