Watchful Scientists

Thinking people are watchful scientists of their hearts and lives. We have to be watchers and thinkers. We must be investigative scientists who intentionally recall information, who then call upon the intuitive for shifts of thoughts and actions to help create psychological sanity and physical safety.

We Earthlings are between a rock and a hard place, it seems: There’s little doubt fear of lacking money drives the energies of both conscious and unconscious Earthlings’ enterprises while the masculine beast of indebtedness watches and protects its illusory self interests in dysfunctional global economies and deliberate fear-driven, greed-generated strives.

All of that is why I feel paying attention to our bodies, and to the synchronicities they allow, are two exquisite portals for watching our manifestations and feeling ecstatic. Just staying awake and focusing is great! Our minds and bodies are likely the only places we can feel we have ready control. Here’s the result of listening to a nudge, which prompted the idea of watchfulness.

Last weekend, two dvd’s Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets, and What the Bleep Do We Know!? were watched back-to-back in a marathon of three sittings. (I hadn’t seen either movie, however, some 20 years ago, I read Deepak Chopra’s notes on quantum physics, reiterated in What the Bleep.) A “Surprise!” moment occurred when realizing the magic demonstrated in Harry Potter is the same magic described by physicists’ and paranormal scientists’ findings in quantum physics, examined in the message of What the Bleep. Well, I’m amazed by the synchronicity of deciding to watch two seemingly unrelated films to discover their very similar messages!

Let’s be grateful for the ideas quantum theories suggest: examination of everything—all possibilities, all tendencies, all intentions—to attempt existing in unknown realms where, as examples, there are no insinuated dualities nor human limitations; no physical nor mental disorders; no repressive business strategies nor gender oppressions; no complicities nor anything cloaking systemic slitherings of such; no past nor future; only landscapes of compassionate intention. Those are radical thoughts. They make sense to me during these very days when literally everything is possible, not only outside our bodies but inside, too.

Any fascination for possibilities in our collective consciousness and for tendencies to make sense of Planet Earth’s condition are whelming explorations into the unknown. Intentions are as fascinating as you and me, who stay awake for intentions’ results, or feel nudged to think up intentions and write them down—either way is a good thing! But, we barely know why until we become watchful scientists for the synchronicities showing up in our lives and in lives of those we’ve chosen to surround us.

In addition, what tickled my fancy was last Saturday morning’s “Surprise!” read of the usual political bloggers who were instead journaling scientific assumptions (or, facts as they called them) about the beauty of human nature and our remarkable biology. I went from being stunned by what I read into applause for the critical thinking and authentic gratitude they wrote to each other. To me, a mere studious investigator, watchful scientists peruse thoughtful, intelligent shifts into possibilities of sanity and tendencies of safety for our global sisters and brothers.

A human being is a part of a whole, called by us ‘universe’, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
~ Albert Einstein (b 1879)

Our constant curiosity is key
to watching what’s being created.
