Being, Feeling, Thinking

I think it’s fairly proven that we have complex energy centers in the brain, heart, and gutBrains think. It’s what they do. But it’s not all that’s happening.Hearts beat. Relentlessly. The defining motion of life.And the pelvic bowl contains our center of gravity and moves us within the worldThese three centers work togetherBut for decades I really only identified with my thoughts. Especially the spiritual ones.Then, one day, I moved the locus of my attention into my heartIt was a revelationMy brain was still chattering aboutBut with my sense of identity in the heart, which doesn’t think, it wasn’t ‘me’The only way I can describe it, is like if a master goes into a sanctuary, the servants may be chatting at the doors, but they don’t disturb him. They are not the focus of his attention.When thinking recedes, being’s natural sensing lens is in reciprocity with all of life‘Who I am’ becomes significantly bigger and how I encounter the world is far more resourced and curiousThe distribution of identity throughout the body exchanges thoughts for experiences— an upgrade of the highest orderIt is not just what I focus on but who I think is doing the focusingWhen my identity is packed in my headMy experience is lackingNot, as my head is so sure, because my environment/conditions/circumstances are lackingBut because I am only bringing a part of my whole being to the partyI am not experiencing my life as my whole self, sometimes barely a thirdI begin the experience of wholeness when I experience myself as the whole of my vertical axis.Head/heart/gut is the staircase into a simultaneous fieldFlourishing through attention as identityAnd, as one, generating receptive, aware, multidimensional habitationThe trinity within us. One being in three aspects. Simultaneously.We’re not stuck in one, occasionally giving time to another out of the beneficence of that one,But whole.Feeling our way through the world as we encounter this momentAnd letting thoughts arise, but not emcee.Paid subscribers will receive my original identity expansion meditation on Sunday.
