Earth and Co-creation

Seeing Earth 'in' space, not 'from' space!

Absolutely stunning! This paints the composite image of our shared experience on our home planet. Just watching this video gives me a feeling of co-creation with my fellow human being, collaborators with nature on Earth and in our Universe! Being alive, we all have the ability to see whatever we're supposed to see as individuals, and then the opportunity to unfold our soul and share.

Every action is significant, as it rides into each and every reaction, and so on... Taking that apart, life is a masterpiece-creating through imagination, improvisation, interaction. It's becoming thoughtless and timeless, reveling in the unity of collective experience. Isn't that what true creation is? The ends and means existing as one in the same, cause and effect blending into a unified being. I'm in a class called Tantra & Alchemy right now, and we're learning the differences between yoga and tantra. I think that yoga is the individual practice of concentration, essentially training the mind to let go through exercise and focusing on the null, while tantra is the flow manifested in life-everything as nothing, and therefore, nothing as everything. Tantra is the cumulative image of art, that constant creation process that stems from existence itself. Visual art, music, writing, cooking, conversation, sex, and as a whole, life on planet Earth. To follow the Tao is to be neutral, the middle ground between thought and action.

A way to perceive non-duality is by acknowledging your own thought process. When you look at something, say, a tree, do you view the tree and then think to yourself, "Hey, a tree!" If there is a dog about to be hit by a car, is it appropriate to think "That dog is about to get hit by that car!" when there is indeed time to act and rescue the dog? Whenever I've read about people's experiences with situations that demand instantaneous reactions, like car crashes, they become almost super-human, and act without thought. It takes training, or better yet, unlearning, to trust yourself. Rather than to think in response every time your senses are stimulated, become instinctual instead, riding with the flow, rather than placing barriers between every interaction with yourself and with the world. Become one with the world, and one with the flow! Not only will you become a direct manifestation of you, letting your action define your experience (blending of cause and effect), but you will have rediscovered the childlike innocence of not doubting yourself and your creating abilities. This flow is where musicians and artists find themselves when they are jamming with their instruments, creating beauty and harmony on Earth. As Mahatma Gandhi stated, "Be the change that you wish to see in the world." Do not think, for thinking wastes energy that could be better spent. Nike has got it right: "Just Do It."
