The reasoning mind is quick to question.
“Might this introduction be a real put off?” “Is this the work of some weirdo with a lofty New Age vision?” “This project is too much to take on, with little likelihood of completion? This is a project for an accomplished writer. Do you need a reminder, as well, that you know yourself to be a master of numerous unfinished projects?”
Yes, I do agree, yet I am able to remind myself that I don’t need this negativity right now. This is not the time for a reasoning mind! This is a time to re-mind myself, to turn down the volume on those negatively reasoned thought processes. This is a time for sensitivity and listening. I feel compelled to share notes and narrative, to share experiences and remarks involving events that, to me, have been remarkable, timely, relevant and insightful.
I accept that there are challenges ahead, yet feel energized to contribute in a positive way to humanity and planet.
Moving slowly and tentatively, I feel dangerously close to the edge of reason. I close my eyes and keep from looking too far ahead. I imagine simply, as a possibility, these notes coming together, and slowly, the project emerging. The voice of reason, on the other hand, recognizes an opportunity…
”Oh you are so naive. You have no idea how you are going to put these notes together, no idea how you are going to make things coherent and interesting, never mind stimulating and inspiring.”
I ponder the situation.
