Christmas thoughts.
Deep thoughts? Nah. I think I'd rather read a book.
To think ... to imagine ... Such things we wonder? Such things and we spend our lives searching for the answers in our science and our philosophies? In our religions and our day time talk shows? So much time spent searching and yet still we don't understand. Still we don't know. Or do we? Are the answer(s) we seek right before us but we are merely too blind to see them? Do we pass over truths because we find the answers too obvious?
Think about life, existence, reality and such. After all, what is real and what is imagined? Can anything truly be real without first being imagined? Our perceptions dictate to us what is real but just how limited are our perceptions? We see in such a small spectrum, we hear less than a dog or cat. If nothing more, this tells us that there is more to reality than what we see and hear. But how much more? Without perception is there life? And could it be said that perception IS life? Perception is belief and if belief could be said to be faith, could not faith be the basis of what constitutes life and therefore reality?
With faith the size of a mustard seed we could move mountains ... Does this mean that our faith allows us to alter our perceptions and therefore reality itself? If only our faith were strong enough. Even the size of a mustard seed?
Light and belief. Perception and energy. Imagination, realization and self-realization ... What IS life? We know that life is more than what we physically experience but what does this mean? For that matter, what is the soul? The energy of self? That part which holds the consciousness of the individual? Is this life? Is this the soul? That part of us that lives beyond the body and travels beyond this world? Is it our consiousness that lives on and through our greater perceptions comes a greater world both real and not real. Not real because it is not of the physical and real because we perceive it to be so.
Like a never-ending dream of life but more real than real, more true than this world and more solid than our physical existence ?
Such thoughts and mental and spiritual wanderings ...
... oooor read a book?
And fruit cake ain't so bad. Take in small amounts. At least, I imagine it to be. Does this make it so? Or is it only real to me?
Time to go away and think a bit ...
Did I say Merry Christmas yet? No? Well then, Merry Christmas.
