When people look at the image of a spiral; A lot of us tend to look at it as moving "inward"
or "spiraling down".
As I was seeking I was shown the spiral on top of the yin and yang.
It was explained like we start in the middle, staying fairly minimal in the movements between the sides.
As we grow in knowledge, wisdom and understanding we "spiral outward" expanding.
The things that we thought were important (then) now seem small.
So are the things of our present time.
And just like looking back into the spiral as it keeps getting smaller and smaller.
We were once at a point that now seems hardly visible.
It then occurred to me that instead of looking into the spiral,
that I should be looking out of it.
Envisioning that I was at the starting or smallest part looking up.
I guess that the point I AM trying to make is...
Everything that you think;
Will someday be such a small part of your experiences,
that your mind wont even be able to find significance in them.
It may seem hard to believe.
Because there are many things that are important that we change;
as a species and planet.
But like when you were a child and didn't know that picking your nose
was not socially acceptable.
We will learn the others as well.
If we could focus on what we ARE going to be.
Then we will be able to put the things that seem so important
to us.
It is our attention to detail that is holding us back.
Everyone is too busy looking at the pieces to see the big picture.
To try and sum it up.
I guess I would put it like this.
Today means everything, yet someday will mean nothing.
Tomorrow is unknown, and someday will be forgotten.
As you expand so does everything about you.
right now just like always.
You are infinitely small;
And infinitely large.
Look out from the spiral and you will see what I mean.
