BRAND NEW REALITY

                                  Inner reality?  

And what am I talking about here?  The start of something new inside my mind.   But coming from my mind itself, or rather another part of my mind? What is going on here?   Indeed.   Is it enough to be?  Yes.   But to be can mean to want, to desire and to do.  To dream, create and enjoy and/or suffer, depending on the moment. 

We have reality now.   It exists.   We know it.   But it is always changing.  "The only constant is change." --Buddha.  It, (All That Is) changes by itself.  We are part of it.  And we also affect change.   We often change it without knowing it.   What I would desire is to effect changes knowingly, mindfully.

Now I have an idea what Joseph Goldstein means when he uses the word.

MINDFUL.   Using the full mind.   Not just the linear, left brain, but the sub- or un-conscious self, right side of the brain, higher self, soul-consciousness, or however else you may characterize it.  The mind is more than the brain.  The who we are beneath and beyond the physical brain. 

 . . . mindful . . . the fullness of mind (self).  The feeling of being in all its infinite depth and reach. 

That's what I explore.  You?

--and that's the news from Lake Onbeyond, where all the elves are ardent, the gnomes mirthful, and the fairies fair.
