I was watching a fascinating video by Wolynsky, a nondualist who deconstructed much of the so-called spirituality you hear in pop culture. He quoted Nis Argadatta who said consciousness is "fluids running together". He realized this--but without any formal training in brain science or physics. What does this mean?
You can realize the depth of this teaching by contrasting series of words:
Confusion
Discord
Distraction
Disparity
Consider the root words--- Dis --- con---
These types of thoughts repeat in circles, they are repetitive, reflexive, obsessive, automatic, fear-based.
But what does innovation, creation, realization entail? A whole different kind of thinking...or "unthiking" as I call it. It is emptying the mind and seeing things as they are and something new emerges. Eckhart Tolle said that an innovative idea comes from being fully in the now (although that catchphrase could be easily overused if you are trying so hard to be in the now it becomes just another position to take...)
You know those times and places where innovation occurs:
oneness
harmony
fusion (as opposed to con-fusion)
genius
synergy (note root word syn = together)
Real-i-zation when you see things as they Real-y are, beyond the fears, beyond the veils of your preconceived notions. And let me tell you this, that realization is far more beautiful, vast, spacious than our mind would lead us to believe. Realization changes your life, transforms it, literally, and forever.
So when you are stuck in your thinking patterns, realize that your fluids are NOT running together, instead relax and allow the thoughts, the fluids, the brain chemicals to run together. And then you will experience the fusion of synergy that is a natural expression of the creative genius that you are...
