there is wildlife here, very close.

i can hear breathing and

splashing just across the dark waters.

 

in the wilderness, the bears are predators.

but, even though they are predators,

they are very sensitive. They will

instantly deduce and mirror according to

how one *feels* - now - in the moment.

when they do not, and are aggressive anyways,

they are considered dangerous, and usually

sought out and destroyed by a larger predator.

 

the whales swim by in pods, and again they

are very sensitive. Not just to each other, but

to their surrounding environment. When things become

out-of-kilter, frenetic, or otherwise non-peaceful,

they send invisible & barely audible signals to each other

of which results are depending upon circumstances.

But, more than anything, they can *feel*

what goes on in the environment.

 

in the theater, it is very very " touchy-feeley " with the audience,

and with the other players. The over-all harmony of the characters

is only successful in cadence within the scripted tableau.

Every character is equally important, even if they are playing

merely minor characters.

The over-playing of one character over one or more of the

other characters is called 'upstaging', and it is considered very rude

in that world because

of the disruption of all the other players. It begins to involve the

difference

between being conscious and being self-conscious - aka being in the *now*,

or being in mortal hell. The difference between what makes life *magic*,

or what

makes life ruled by mortals and their egos.

The difference between a successful production or one that sucks.

 

Many people are so taken with themselves, that they forget that other

people

are as sensitive and smart as them. Running on automatic pilot and

running roughshod

over all and any repercussions. So taken away with themselves they are,

that they destroy

not just the natural cadence - the " good vibe " - but this destruction

extends invisibly and inaudibly

to unknown amounts of others also, like a ripple in a pond.

The spiritual essence is totally lost, whether this entity is a major or

a minor player.

 

The deal is - having the ability to be here now.

If/when one is in a manic phase, I have had to learn,

meditation and silence are much better than

psychotropic medications.

 

In the cities there is so much machinery, so much

pollution, so much chaos, that people lose track of

clairvoyance. Any sensitivity eventually becomes

regarded as a weakness, just for self-preservation.

 

Am I wrong?
