Seek answers BEYOND your personal thinking…
Do you remember the scene in the Matrix movie when Neo asks Trinity if she can fly a helicopter? She answers: “Not yet,” closes her eyes briefly, and within seconds, receives a “download” from outside the Matrix, allowing her to fly the helicopter with ease and extreme mastery of the machine. Now, while the movie was not directly describing our real world and how it works…The idea that most people live in a 100% thought-created reality, completely unaware that there is another world that exists beyond their personal thinking — is a pure, spiritual fact. You see…
A lot of people are only aware of their own thinking, and that’s where their “reality” ends. Those with a somewhat expanded awareness have already realized the subjective nature of our thoughts (which are often different from other people’s thoughts). If you are able to expand your awareness some more, you soon recognize two different kinds of thoughts — the ones that come from our brain (memory and received knowledge) and the ones that seem to “download” into our brain (inspiration, intuition, and wisdom).
If you expand your awareness some more, a deeper understanding shows up. We live in a world of Thought and we are not designed to experience anything else. In other words, how we perceive things, taste, smell, sound and feel is directly related to the thoughts we generate. Our thinking and the direction we give to it is our first level “the Human Matrix” and beyond this is the “Universal Mind” — the intelligence and energy behind life and the space inside of which all life unfolds.
If it seems a little too spiritual for you, think about this : to answer factual questions like “how much is 2+2?”, the answer can be searched in our collected database of knowledge… More open questions, however, like: “How do I transition my career from corporate to running my own coaching business?” or “Who am I, really, and how should I live my life?” are best answered from that deeper part of the mind, aren’t they?
So let’s ask ourselves : “What do we do, when we don’t know what to do?”
Personally, I have not yet received an instant download giving me the capacity to fly a helicopter before any actual training… Instead, I am almost completely dependent on the capacity of my mind and the awareness that there is a deeper wisdom, a deeper guidance, that is available to all of us… if we were to learn to listen for it… beyond our personal thinking.
People experience it during mindless nature walks, or in the shower… or perhaps in a more structured form of meditation… but we all had such experience, on one level or another.
So take this as a gentle reminder, to seek wisdom and guidance in life, from beyond your personal thinking… and from the forever loving, nurturing, life force energy, that’s been around for far longer than you and me… one, out of which all life is created.
