~ As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality. - Albert Einstein, Sidelights on Relativity
When I have tried to explain (to others) how my lights act, the words do little justice to the event. The only thing they (or, as it would appear, I) can do is relate what is happening on a superficial level.
As I sit and work at the keyboard, the actions of the nightlight/s vary. It can remain off or blink and interact. If I acknowledge it, I may be acknowledged as well. The main ingredient is that the nightlight does not take orders. The energy manifesting the activity chooses if and how (and to whom) it will respond.
Today, I am working on an art project I have to get completed for a coffeehouse showing but my mind has been on math and numbers - wondering why, like dollars and cents, we put so much stock in them. In the bigger picture, they have an arbitrary value. When the numbers are the only determining factor, we are confined to an entire belief system caught up in limits.
Fortunately, reality doesn't stop there. And yes, the double meaning fits.
Why do I think my experience validated if a certain set of numbers flows behind it? --- and there is the answer. I think it is so - and so it is. So I let go and allow that what I experience will be such as it is - with or without an arbitrary set of numbers to validate it. It is already valid for me.
The light is offering short flickers and pops this morning. And, as I look over at it now to see if I have described all of the above appropriately, I am given an affirmation in one bright, sustained blink.
Reality has more than one side. I prefer mine sunny. There are far more important things in life than clinging to the notion that one must live within a space as defined by the numbers. Then again, I have a room with an uncommon view.
The great majority of the time, my nightlight remains off. The energy says that is how it conserves energy. I pause to think for a moment. I am not clear on "conserving" whether that is to save the light bulb or better manipulate the electricity as it comes through... I hear the word "both."
One could read into that and suppose that we are doing that very same thing in our own way, withholding our inner light - in a protective manner so discreet that it might appear to be non-existent, when we are merely conserving our best efforts for certain events.
My days are never dull.
