Accept the Unacceptable

Salt and Pepper representing opposition in life

Do all beliefs contain their opposites? If so, how to get more out of the opposites in life?

Beliefs are often subtle and hidden, especially from the believer.

From a strictly physics point of view, beliefs would be the natural resistance all energy creates.

What opposes the belief that all beliefs contain their opposites?

“I don’t know.”

No, what oppose the belief that all beliefs contain their opposites?

Oh, yes, “I don’t know.” The anthem of honest atheists.

I do know that explorations of my beliefs eventually uncover the opposites. This realization strikes me as crazy.

“Now let me get this right. Whatever I believe; like I am good, I also believe, I am bad.”

“You got it”!

“I am, I am not. I want. I don’t want. Crazy”

“Yes, if you believe in crazy.”

“But there still is attention. The tool my consciousness uses with some control over where my attention goes. All those belief continuums do exist separate from my attention, and from this NOW, where beliefs become nothing more than a limiting label.

“I don’t know, and I am fully present.” An atheist in the NOW.

Do we have nothing lest we have beliefs? Without beliefs is there nothing? Is it a question of creation?

If this is a binary world, a world with the limits of our opposites, are we trapped in a yes and no, good, and bad, up, and down, world?

Is it possible and high on the Ever-Evolving Evolution of Enlightenment continuums to see and use a Third Force?

A Third Force allows the acceptances of the unacceptable. Where our choices go beyond our limits.

Third Force exists when attention is free, and what appears as a limit becomes a springboard to another choice. An opening to new or previously unrecognized adventure, exploration, or direction.

Let’s accept the unacceptable and see what happens.

Synaptogenesis’ {Snap to Genesis}

Synaptogenesis, a new innovative word to me. I found the word in the book Pavlov’s Trout, essays from neuro-psychologist Paul Quinett. Paul is obsessed with fishing, both the real adventure and the metaphor. I am interested in catching fish and understanding new concepts. It is an anatomical understanding of what happens in the brain when acquiring new information, “…about growing new neural tissue, increasing the complexity and richness of connections between neurons, and structural changes in the fundamental operations of the brain itself. This process is called synaptogenesis.”

I heard that the brain ‘snaps to creation. ’ The genesis “the origin or mode of formation of something” when we learn.

My inner movie screen began showing PAC-MEN© grabbing knowledge, increasing intelligence and our connections to life, the universe, and everything. A movie of newness and hope was showing as the gray matter expanded into the unknown. I began to appreciate how we are wired to expand, to move past our habits and enter new, undiscovered territory and connect it with what we know.

Seemed both an epiphany and an ‘oh yea, that’s how it’s done.

I turned toward the epiphany and how I can use this new info to grow my attention. I felt a great comfort in knowing that we are wired to expand unless we stop reaching, stop looking, stop being aware that everything is new, and our system is set to snap to creation.

There was nothing to change, just some stuff not to pay attention to; distraction, SOS (same ole stuff), my ego being right and already knowing everything!

The concept is akin to the discomfort of paying attention to what I don’t have, versus paying attention to what I do have. The extreme spectrum of what we don’t want feels real, BUT what is real is that it is my attention AND I CAN focus it wherever I want.

Half empty.

Half full.

It’s all good,

So snap too!

Genesis can be any creation you want.
