Gloria Ornelas Hall-
Complexity,
as its name implies is opportunity unraveled, flexed over, plicated, folded
upon itself. It is potential to be unfolded. That’s what I tell myself when
things get tough and uncertainty and loss of control make for chaos in my life.
Inevitably, epiphanies let the light in and shine with sudden understanding,
opening portholes that seem to loop through time. Then, Einstein’s notion of
time as warped unfolding, seems to make sense.
I had one of
these ‘eureka’ moments the other day, as I had coffee with my dear High School teacher.
In itself, our meeting after so many years is a loop in time, with a sudden
gushing in of forgotten memories that refreshed ‘my today’. I presently
understood the simultaneity of things related to the soul. Loving is made of
such things.
Re-creating
reality with the awareness of parallel synchronicity opens a network of channels
giving us opportunities of simultaneous input and output in all directions. (A
bit like this blog, that opens portholes to other lives, tapping into parallel realities
that share same interests). Consciousness itself, expands with such bizarre
notions as the possibility of understanding human behavior in two or more
dimensions. As if the physical reactions of chemical and electrical stimulation,
now uncovered by scientific probing into the brain, were connected to one’s own
‘integrating soul’ at another plane. This would explain that consciousness is
not limited to the brain but is integrated and given meaning, by a parallel
mind. Plato’s description of reality as mere shadows reflected on a cave wall, and
Freud’s description of consciousness as being an ‘iceberg’ where part of reality
is seen while the other goes unperceived, comes to mind with such a
possibility. Man could then, be described metaphorically as a lipid protruding
through a cell membrane, on both the inside and the outside of the cell.
Meaning then has expansive qualities that readjust understanding to a re-newed concept
of self and others.
In the light
of time, as having these ‘trans-membranic qualities’, with simultaneous contact
between this reality and another a-temporal space, the injunction of past and
future within today’s every moment becomes onerous. Imagine yourself, fixed on
the limited self-concept of being a mere finger, and suddenly expanding
awareness to realize that you are also the hand, the arm and the whole ‘being’ of
life.
In love, such
expansive awareness comes when we broaden conscious integration of our
ego-self, to include another; and another; and another till we realize we are
all one. Such an epiphany includes new ways of loving: forgiving; accepting;
understanding or not; letting go and trusting that ‘it’ll be alright’. We are
all interconnected by this matrix of loopholes to and from each other, not only
today, but from the past and the future, simultaneously!
So, ‘what the
hell!!!!!’ Stop trying to control, holding on to fixed ways that only limit our
way of loving. Open up and let go.. Flow with the gush of love.
