It’s curious how novelties .. affect us
Meeting a new person is always a novelty…
Ever notice how it’s often difficult to remember
The name of a person you have just met.
Think of how you experienced
The novelties in you life?
The first step you took
You’re first day in school
The first kiss
You’re first child
Or
The first time
You skinned you knee
Got caught red handed
Or got dumped by your love
Can you remember that feeling…?
Of having been totally surprised
Be it either good or bad…
Yet see here only situations that definitely
are novelties..
One of those special things that had never happened before
That unfolds …
In just such a way,
The actual experience you are having ..
Has no anticipated model of expectation
For you to draw on.
allow it to be as it is
Seek not to model them
But instead hold them in beyond thee mind
in a state of wonder
Resist the impulse fit them into your understanding
For these momentary occurrences
Are so unique
That you can’t begin to even try to explain them
Envision novelty…. Outside of the timebox
And don’t focus on a specific event in your life
Picture instead…
Novelty as a group of things
And that group having a unique
Quality of spontaneity
That puts novelty into an entire class
all by itself
First time ever…. Events…of rare synchronistic occurrence
Possessing a distinct and overwhelming sense of organization
Coming together now
Like magic…. The wonder
Unfolding before your eyes…
It’s powerful and kinda leaves you hanging
And wets your thirst for more..
You love it
That … feeling…………
Or
You hate it
Every damn second of it
Novel situations…
At Times Can suck
I am talking the serious kind..
When suddenly a novelty occurs
And
You lose that which mattered most
Something that cannot be replaced
…You value(d) it so dearly
You even dreaded the feeling
Of loosing it..
And then you did lose it
That one …relationship
Gone from your life
Forever
It feels like
A bleeding hole
A void place in you
Where
The future you had devoted
So much of your time and attention
Anticipating..
Is gone
Forever
Read it again!
Don’t try to stanch the bleeding…
You can’t
The model has you
Your matrix of belief
IS your life
Let it bleed in your hands..
Until you see
You are not bleeding
Open your hands
And see.
Observe how
Your mind
in
Trying to make sense of novelty
Is outa its depth..
Yet you believe
You are your thoughts
You were trapped in a subtle process
You didn’t see when you began
Identifying with them
Until collectively they had suddenly become your reality
You made a house built of thought..
and hammered it together
with emotion and feeling
Even now
you continue
To live in it
Even as the walls are striped away from you
And the entire frame collapses into ruin
such situations often proceeds the onset of an emotion…
Anger
Anger manifests from the energy vibrations of temporal collections of thoughts, collectively experienced as an emotion and described as quality of feeling that is orientated toward some supposed grievance
And now YOU are.. Miserable
Congratulations
You are normal
let go of it all
not seriously
but sincerely
Let go of the all damn temporal modeling
that drives the beauty from
the wonder of novelty
As a group of out lived beliefs…
Let them go
Or you don’t have a model
Or a life
The model of belief
Has You

You, my dear, have a Llama fixation!
Yes, the model chatter of any given moment of experience is the doom of wonder~
A thought provoking entry this day, as ever, my Friend Dosmangoes~
Blessings~ :sunny:
Ow…my brain hurts now…very penetrating.
Life and Love begin when novelty becomes learning.
Good thing I’m not normal …
It’s really interesting….you know how we hear all that “healing the inner child” stuff. Well, I’ve come to believe that it’s as simple as what you are saying here. I wish people wouldn’t call it that ”healing the inner child” thing because it implies we are wounded or immature if we don’t know the “secrets” you share here quite frequently. We’re not wounded or immature, we are simply human beings who haven’t reached that level of clarity, open-mindedness or enlightenment or whatever it is you want to call it. I don’t know, it sounds so simple to me now, but in those moments when ego takes over (yes, alas, I am human and I accept that ego-struggle is part of the deal), it is sometimes difficult to remember that this is not then and all we have is now so I need to release the residual emotional residue and be in the moment. Wow, I have no idea if that makes sense, but I think you know what I mean. I guess I’m just grateful that life took me to a place where I’ve begun to have days of now-ness and when a “novelty” throws me backwards in my own mind, I have the awareness and “tools” to bring myself back into the now. Life is too short to waste in yesterday’s negative energy. Peace to you, my friend. Tomorrow, I think I’ll go stop by the llama farm near my house here and say hello for you.
Novelty is the springboard into a greater level of awareness. Awareness that can be the bridge of realization in which you will find the keys to the freedom found in knowing that you are more than your thoughts, reactions and emotions. Llama to you,my friend
makes one think……we are really just living a barage of thoughts.
it’s curious how your words always seem to fit what i am feeling at the time.
Hej! Thanks for stopping by. Did I tell you that I plan to get my glider’s license within the next 2 years? Yes, you have certainly inspired me!
Best,

I love surprises (not all the time but generally, I do) and the novelty that comes along with it. And blessed are to to have such intense memories to record not only the situations but the emotions as well that came along with our reaction to such changes and surprises.

RYC: interesting……..Our cetificates are from the US Army……but I do not know why it will not verify….it should. My other half is the tech in this relm, and he is not sure about this either.
yeah… I think I need to spend not so much time dwelling on novelties.
Or maybe I should attempt to fit them differently into my worldview.
Or maybe I it’s about discerning which novelties to put on a pedestal,
which to remember and consequently change yourself with, or which novelties
to put aside because in the grand scheme of things, they aren’t so important.
Maybe it’s a combination of all three, plus more.
Maybe I’m missing the point and digging into a particular facet of your post,
But dwelling on the experiences that make up my consciousness, despite the
fact that it’s a large concept and something hard for me to digest, has
been if anything thought provoking.
Thanks. For what it’s worth, when I take the time to break them down and
understand them, I get a lot more out of your posts than I do the questions
posed at the theologianscafe. I reckon it’s apples and oranges in the end,
however.
nice use of color to change the mood lol hope you are well b
