ARRYHTHMIA
~balancing peaks through awareness
When your heart races, as it does in the Fight-or-Flight response, are you in a life-or-death situation that requires immediate management, or are you reacting, rather than responding to, information that conflicts with your belief system?
We have established that most of us are operating from a duality of core tenets and the influences gained in living our lives. Adaptation to these influences has happened over time, moving our central ground in response. Be that traditional (so to speak) or non-traditional (against the grain of current trends in society), each of us has a central point from which we accumulate and study data . . . and our behaviors will reflect how we react or respond to it in whole.
Remember the last time you experienced an Arrhythmia: be it that your heart began to race, or something in your gut-knowing kicked you, stopping you mid-thought and giving you the opportunity to consider new information. This is the physical response to outsider ideas, large enough to be noticeable and sometimes large enough to create an overwhelming chemical condition: seeing red; sick with bile; burning with anger; the heartache of hopelessness and grief.
Because these Arrhythmias are chemically-induced (from the reptilian/survival self), most of us do not control them. Only after many decades do Masters attain the ability to sort the animal self out from the logical and intuitive self. For most, they are an indicator of distress. This is not to say that joyful Arrhythmias do not occur, but for today, let us consider the negative (or less helpful) effects of our response to our world.
How can we balance these peaks, or spikes, in reaction? How can we learn instead to respond, with the intention to fully consider information that may seem threatening, but is not life-threatening in the moment?
What do you want? What do we all want? Beyond the basics of survival, can we agree that most of us idealize harmony, compatibility, valued exchanges, and opportunity? Do we not feel more comfortable, and happy, when we are surrounded by those who are similar to us, who share beliefs with us, whose communities are in line with our ideals and tenets?
Can we survive like the animals in the wildlands, broken into hierarchies of prey and predator, in populations that are either growing or diminishing? Can we create islands where we separate ourselves into belief cultures, never wandering into the territories of other belief cultures? This is not likely. Earth is currently existing in a globally-interactive state. We move about and exchange.
This is good news, if we let it be. How better can the world evolve than through shared ideas in thought, philosophy, science, medicine, technology, and communication? Diversity serves us.
In order to maximally serve us, diversity must operate without false restriction. Culturally diverse thinkers, in collaboration, create more comprehensive outcomes. Problems, and successes are better considered as a group: when island-A presents a problem to island-B-C-D, and they present a resolution; how a success in island-C allows it to share with the other islands.
Open your mind and your heart. Think as a whole being. Think as those being marginalized. Think as those "in power." Think as those in the middle-muddle who long to experience a better world but don't know how to begin.
Begin where you are. Understanding is first. Work to see your self clearly and to understand the world more clearly. This requires not only an open mind, but an open heart, and the ability to step outside our false sub-cultural standards and regulations.
The world has its own Arrhythmias. Can you hear its response to our sorrows and burdens? Can you quiet your self long enough to listen to the world's Songs?
Remember that you are stardust and that this world from which you were raised and created knows you intimately: how could it not? You are made from its building blocks and vibrate with its rhythms.
Be bold. Each day, step outside your self as you know it. Listen.
Do not guard your self from new ideas. Embrace them.
Build your core, growing what is possible.
You are here, and you are possible.
What else is possible?
Blessed Be This Day
