Awareness

So, just how many spheres of existence are there out there? I spent the weekend tapping into some different arenas of consciousness with ROOTS School. My summary of the class? There is actual magic out there, Jedi mind tricks and the force. It's all real.

Once I asked myself, what if all those old old stories I read were real? Ancient myths and legends from this continent and beyond. People shape-shifting into animals, plants telling people how to use them, stories being recorded in the stars, ancient visits and visitors to and from the sun....what if it's all real? What if the high rises, concrete and steel construction, movies, sports, politics, primaries - what if those stories are actually as fantastical as the fairy stories of old?

Hm. It gives me a lot to wonder about. Usually shaking my head in awe. Human existence can be so much more than ruts of movement, paying bills, to and from the car to office to home, gym for exercise, TV for entertainment... awake to the reality that those parts of life may be necessary these days (or hard to get around) but they do not have to limit us in our awareness.
