GO BEYOND YOURSELF

What Is ‘Yourself’?  As best as we can define.  Your body parts, from heart to lung to liver to brain, stomach, muscles, bones, skin, nails, hair and all there is. Add To These, What You Perceive As Your Inner Private World: Desire, Wants, Needs, Will, Ambition, Fear.  And…And… Let’s Not Forget Thought And Feeling.  Collectively we can say your whole lot, your interior domain.

Well And Good, But If This Domain Becomes A Cell, Or A Cage With Bars Erected By Your Own Hands, Herein Is The Problem.  A whole big world around, outside your confines.   Don’t ignore, don’t miss, connect and interconnect with.  Open your being.  Leave open the window of your mind, antennas of your brain and that quaking, quickening, thud of your heart.

It Is Only Natural For Living Forms To Extend Beyond Themselves, To Reach Out; Matter Of Survival And Continuance.  An Evolutionary Prerequisite.   A bird in a cage longs to fly away and take to the skies above.  Animals in a zoo yearn for the forest and meadow.  Trees extend deep and around into their soil, shooting roots and rootlets.   Plants would rather move from pot to earth.

Not Going Beyond Yourself Is A Prescription For Loneliness, Boredom, Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Hostility, Apathy And Dullness Of The Mind And A Whole Host Of Negative Emotions.

Stepping out beyond yourself, you will receive the whole whiff and scope of the energy of being.  Wow!   Through interactions with others you will perceive and conceive their joys and sorrows, their bewilderment, their happy times, fears, insecurities, what makes them tick, dance, slumber, quit or keep on keeping on.  You will come to the comforting, assuring realization that their emotions and feelings are common; surely, you share some of them or more.  You will learn from them, they will learn from you; more information and better knowledge come on aboard; exchange.  Through dialogues and interconnectedness your hundred billion brain cells are stimulated.  Stimulated, they grow synapses to interconnect with other brain cells.  Brain cells well connected to one another work better, more harmony, more equanimity.  Human  experiences are shared.   Shared Joys Double.  Grief Shared; Is Halved.

Hooked to your own projects, programs, schemes and ambitions, you will be prone to stress and subject to anxiety.

Stepping out of yourself, connect with causes such as the environment, clean air, clear water, kindness to earth, world peace and stopping wars which are nothing but mass murders, lending a hand to the poor and teaching their children how to read and write and how to learn a profession.  Traveling worldwide to disaster areas stricken by massive earth quakes or hurricanes is a great endeavor.  In it there is joy.  Your Feelings And Thought Will Grow Into A Sponge Absorbing Others And Radiating Into Others.

You will realize that your ego is a fiction and hubris is an impediment; both are not helpful to you or to others.  Your Life Would Be Enriched, Fine Tuned Bubbling With Blissful Activity And A Loving Thrill.

Only Through Interconnecting With Others You Will Find And Realize The Existence Of Compassion And Empathy; Two Healers, Two Great Boosters.  Move On…The Caravan Is Waiting.  And along the journey will be challenges, rewards, songs to be sung and dances to be danced and trotted.  Click on to Hearttoheartdialogues.com.  More to come to enrich and nurture your being.
