This last weekend I was the first warm sunny day of the year here. Temperatures in the mid-60’s (Fahrenheit), a few puffy white clouds, and a light gusting wind that was refreshing cool. I took my dogs for a walk up the canyon by my house. I was trance walking, contemplating how my brain classifies everything.
Everything is black or white, 1 or 0, red or blue, liberal or conservative, day or night. Often I classify without really recognizing how one thing fades to the next. Day fades to night. The clear demarcation we make between the two is just a definition. One belief fades into another. Right fades into wrong. When my brain assigns a classification to a thing, a person or a thought, I miss the nuances and the beauty of that unique thing/person/thought.
On the way back down a hill, with the sun at my back, I started to get into a trance, into the zone. Soon I started to feel the communication from the sun. I believe a portion of the way the Force communicates with living cells energy is from the sun. I think for some people, a contribution to their winter depression is due to a lower level of this energy/communication from the sun. To me it seems like the Force has been missing from life and my meditations since October.
When I became aware of this communication intertwined with sunlight, I focused on it and it appeared to me to shift. Now it felt like Morse code, like a shutter was being quickly opened in closed in a pattern, in different intervals... a pattern that had a meaning, but I could not decipher the meaning. At least that is how it felt after it was interpreted by my senses and then by my brain.
When I got home, I took my youngest dog to a park at the local college to meditate. I tried new music that I had never used before. After about 20 minutes, when I reached my mind chakra, everything shifted. Suddenly I was aware of my vision, but it wasn't normally eyes closed on a sunny day vision. It was bright white with a field of small round circles in the center. At the edges of my vision were a bunch of wavy objects that kept moving around, I couldn't really see them very well. The field of circles would move but always maintained their relationship to each other.
Interesting, profound... Maybe I was tuning into the microscopic organisms on the inside of my eyeballs... or maybe I was tuning into another dimension, the so-called planes of light…
peace, friends
