The Delicacy of Difference

In this edition of 'Touching Eternity - Thought experiments for a life well lived', I invite you to dwell a while with me in 'The delicacy of difference'.

It is a place from whose still silence, the soft and subtle semitones of a life well lived become beacon lights.

In their abundance they reveal how the life we would love to live, is already in the life have to day.

Here are the experiments you'll find in this edition, and I invite you to dwell awhile in their company, and enjoy whatever happenings unfold.

The Ambient Inbetween

We live so much of our lives at full throttle, navigating the sharply twisting turns of hard-edged obligations.

In doing so we delete the delicacy of difference and distort the possibility of a life well lived… out of existence.

In this thought experiment we take time to breath, and raise our sensory acuity to delight in the light that touches eternity.

I hope something of the beauty that was there in the moment of its making this morning, flows now though you in the viewing of it.

?“Enjoy the little things in life, because one day – you’ll look back and realise they are the big things.”

?

I came across this Robert Brault quote when I was thinking how I could help people enjoy a richer, deeper experience, of life and living given all of the competing imperatives of this fast-paced world, we human beings have create for ourselves.

?

It struck me that if you think about this quote as being about, more than just the events of our lives, it takes you right into that richer, deeper experience.

?

It becomes an insight into how the entire Universe and all that it holds can be found in simplest bit of anything that exist. A blade of grass, a flower, a simple a breath.

It turns the parochial into the phenomenal.

?

You see the way we tend to lead our lives today gives us only the most fleeting glimpse of its true flavours.

?

As we rush from this activity to that event and overlay one experience with another and then yet another, we delete the delicacy of difference we multitask the possibility of a life well lived out of existence.

?

So I started thinking about a Thought Experiment that would help people move from a life grazing on the top layer of the experience of living to one that’s nourished by the magnificent subtleties that lie?beneath.

?

And I want it to be a thought experiment that took no time! Because most of us can’t find time to fit in what’s already there, let alone add something new to the mix.

So how can we make changes to our lives, and our?experience of living it, without adding time consuming things to it!

It would be easy to say you can’t, but I think you can.

Here’s the Thought Experiment…

It’s a kind of time machine or at least a way of taking time out of the equation... Become a ‘Noticer’.

Notice what’s really there beyond what you expect.

Open up your senses and let them experience what you would normally ignore. All those delicious details that get deleted when you graze through life.

Don’t add anything. Don’t take anything away, just notice. Notice what’s actually already there.

And be curious about what you’ll see and hear, smell, taste and touch. Wonder what new thoughts and feelings will be revealed when you really start to notice.

And the great thing is being a Noticer doesn’t take any more time. You need no more to time smell beautiful flowers than you do to notice them in the first place.

?

Start to notice that beautiful smell and who knows… one day you may go crazy, reach out a hand as you pass by, and feel the soft delicacy of their petals.

When you raise your sensory acuity to these levels, you get to discover that these heady heights of fully saturated life experience are beyond time.

The view from where you sit is just a beautiful whether you choose to notice it or not… it’s just that life so much better when you do. So, get curious about how much of this richer, deeper experience of life you actually notice at the moment, and wonder what difference it would make if you did.

Being a Noticer cost absolutely nothing and repays abundance.

So have a bit of free fun for no time spent… Become A Noticer

And you may well discover that the little things in life really are… the big things in disguise.

The Delicacy of Difference

"When the same seeds are sown, what's always known is grown, not matter which forest path you walk."

We live our lives overlooking the underneath and miss the most magnificent subtitles, the seeds of which bear the ripest fruit.

Find yourself a quite place where you wont be disturbed, put on some headphones, and come with me on a journey into the underneath of everything,

Discover there, how the life you would love to live... is already the life that's alive in you right now.

Helping Others

My purpose?through all that I share of the insights I've discovered in a life well and truly lived, is to help as many others as I can wake up to their own version of that well lived life.

My intention as a coach and speaker, is to help the extraordinary people I work with use all and any challenges they face, as opportunities to make extraordinary things happen.
