Undefined

As I woke up this morning, I felt empty.  Emptiness felt good.  Empty space to be the breath that carries my body.  The spirit that brings life to the form that is me in this existence.  I floated to the bathroom and brushed my teeth, followed by a pleasant surprise of breakfast waiting for me in the kitchen.  My good friend took the day off to go see a movie with me - Inception.

Since I don't watch much, if any TV these days, I don't generally see commercials much or hear about movies, so I had no idea what Inception was about.  The friend I was seeing it with knows I am a very conceptual thinker, and had a hunch that I would enjoy the movie.

As I am still in a place of emptiness and open to absorb and release what my senses experience, I go into the movie theater and make myself comfortable for the feature.  The movie was filled with abstract concepts and dreams within dreams within dreams.  Subjectivity was the science, and consciousness only told half the story.  Insecurities were explored, unconscious walls broken down, and space made for creation.  The whole concept of the movie was to reach "inception", or to arrive at the beginning; and to return to the end.

When the matrix we are plugged into operates on a largely linear program (i.e. - the bottom of the blog I am typing now says "Draft saved at 12:54 AM"), measuring time as always moving forward and defining reality by law, the circular reality of consciousness seems to be rather... unbelievable (i.e. - it now says "Draft saved at 12:58 AM").  What if reality is not defined simply by law, but also by imagination?  What if reality is imagination?

When we left the movie theater, my friend immediately asked me, "what did you think of the movie?"  I didn't respond.  A few moments passed and I said "I'm still processing".  The truth is I wasn't still processing, but I just didn't want to talk about it.  I didn't want to take a concept that I largely related to and try to bring it down to Earth in this matrix using language to limit and reduce my experience.  I wanted to live in my dream within a dream within a dream.  My inception is undefined.

One and The Same

I live on one Earth.  One planet, with one sky, one sun, and one moon.  I have one brain, one heart, one body, and one soul.  Human beings are one species that share one consciousness, each with one unique life experience.  Each human life comes to form manifested through the union of two humans, each with their own unique reproductive systems.  Each of these two humans has their own unique thoughts, feelings, and beliefs.  These two humans attract one another and connect to create one relationship, one new life, one unique family.

And so, human life is one, divided, and reunited.  Continuously.  We are all the same, and different.  We all breath the same air, with different rhythms.  We all require nourishment, from different sources.  We all live, each with a different purpose.  We all think, each on a different wavelength.  We all dream, each with a different imagination.  We are all descendants of our ancestors, each with a different genetic code.  We all have a sense of time, each with a different perspective.  We are all related.  Our experience is all relative.

Self acceptance is acceptance of one; acceptance of all.  Our differences are no coincidence.  When we are divided within, we are divided without.  When we are united within, we are united without.  When we are everything to everyone, we are nothing to no one.  We are nothing.  When we seek approval, we require proof of ourselves.  I am proof enough.  I am.  One.
