Anyone care to share their current favorite PARADOX to contemplate\experience?
I've been a nurse for 30+ years/ I like to pivot back and forth between the of 3-D human generated idea of suffering with ill health VERSUS the expanded idea that ALL IS WELL, and THE UNDERLYING ENERGIES that have us focused here are PURE POSITIVE ENERGY/ PURE WELL BEING
Sitting in the middle of this paradox in KNOWING helps me navigate my work and still remain compassionate toward patients
Please share anything ideas this brings up in you, eager to hear your perspective
Hi Blaire. I love this. Excellent examples. To understand these concepts with one's intellect is one experience. But to FEEL the shift in your "state of being" when u consciously choose to embody one end of that spectrum or the other is sublime. I'm searching for words to describe the sensation....it reminds me of a vehicle. Can you relate?
This is SUCH a beautiful question and sharing!! The way you use that paradox is very powerful and positive, thank you for doing what you do and being yourself. I think about paradox all the time! There are so many I deeply love and honestly I do think about most of them almost every day!
To name a few... The fact that everything is made of meaning yet everything is meaningless. The fact that there is no reason why everything exists, except to exist, and in existence itself is the reason.
The fact that all truths are true (if in no other way: as an experience), including ones completely contradictory. Anything that can exist according to the fundamental laws of Creation and consciousness — exists. And so when I think about the idea of truth as a field and spectrum of many truths, I think often about the paradox that many truths do coexist at once.
One I just thought about earlier, also, was the idea of time vs. timelessness. Time doesn't exist in Spirit, as many have said. Everything in Creation exists simultaneously, and we create the experience of movement and linearity through our experience. There are paradoxes in there that are still mindboggling to really think about. What does it mean to not have future or past lives, yet to experience the idea that we came into this life and will exit out of it, and choose another life to live in Spirit? Is that how it even works? This life we're living will still exist when we leave, as everything is eternal and continues to exist. Or else to imply a true end is to imply time and linearity, the closing of a structure or a story.
So when I go into Spirit fully and there is timelessness, what does it mean to be in that state, yet contain stories of time? Is it that, really, nonphysical isn't 'timeless' in the literal sense but has a different sense of time and motion than the physical experience? I kind of lean towards that. But, who knows 😄.
Oh, there are tons of paradoxes to talk about still! But these are a few on my mind today 💞
