The Art and the Science of Infinite Possibilities
I was taking my morning walk in the crisp Texas air on Sunday and listening to the “random shuffle” on my smart phone. As indicated with crystal clarity here, there are no accidents ― a pattern to the randomness usually emerges. And George’s message in “My Guitar Gently Weeps” impacted me on a profound, new level. Admittedly, we all have our favorite Beatles’ songs, and this is definitely in my top five.
“I look at you all, see the love there that’s sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps.
I look at the floor and I see it need sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps.”
In sync with this moment, I attended a dazzling event over the weekend called #DreambuildersLIVE, and I thank Unity Church Dallas for offering special access to the experience. This was the Mary Morrissey show, and she is certainly a magnetic maestro of meaning ― orchestrating mesmerizing messages in “a container” of multimedia magic.
One of her fundamental life-coaching principles is “notice what you are noticing.” This reinforced and supported my current journey ― as I find it requires continuing practice. I think of it as “uber awareness” or “turbo mindfulness.” And it’s essential, because our dreams all start in our own hearts and minds ― it’s an inside job. Deftly unfolding this concept, Mary polished many glistening enlightenment nuggets in her approachable, warm style. “You can’t get TO your dream ― you must come FROM it,” says Mary. Letting that idea seep into every molecule is powerful as I envision and feel my future joy in the now ― the present moment. Be the change. Be the dream. (More practice.)
In this iconic song, George is definitely noticing what he is noticing. And though that darn floor is filthy and his guitar is gloomy, he chooses to see the “love there that’s sleeping.” I have read he wrote the song at his mother’s house in Warrington, England as he contemplated “I Ching, The Book of Changes.” It’s regarded one of the most important texts of Chinese wisdom and philosophy ever scribed, and it was a foundational source for Confucius and others.
I believe one of the notions George is referencing is the ethereal mystery of relationships and the interconnectedness of all things and beings in the universe. Our oneness with all ― and for all time. Just beginning to embrace these ideas based on ancient philosophies, twenty-first century science is now studying the hidden, untapped power of the brain and its relationship to the quantum field. In fact, “Make it MATTER” is another great Mary-ism ― linking meaning with quantum change and infinite possibilities.
Mary is vibrating at a higher frequency ― and creating a surge in the process. You could feel it in the room of more than 750 people from across the globe gathered here in Texas for a nexus of relationship and intention to generate something wonderful and good. So refreshing as we notice . . . our “political floor needs some sweeping.” But . . .
“With every mistake we must surely be learning.”
