Over the past week or two I have been feeling my whole world is changing around me. I get this experience rarely, once every few years maybe, where my whole being takes a shift and everything looks different; It's almost as if I fly round in an orbit of my life and start looking at it from a whole new angle. The last time this happened was when I really started getting into books full of ideas, which opened up my mind to a universe of new experiences and thought processes, causing me to change my priorities and become obsessed with things I had never really considered before. Finding lots of new, and often radical, viewpoints on life and experience bought a whole new depth to every action, opening up a new, deeper level of consciousness.
This time it seems to have come out of recent conversations I have had and a rapid change of location, spiritual awareness and a half-forgotten past recapturing me somewhat. The way I think and feel is all over the shop, at the moment I feel as though everything is up in the air, waiting to fall back to earth into the ever-moulding, ever-flowing mass that is myself. It's somewhat terrifying, as I have no idea where or when I am going to land again, but also incredibly exciting, as I know that a whole new world is in the process of opening up to me. It feels as though a giant new space is opening in the back of my mind, ready for me to explore and fill with new things that wouldn't fit into my head before, like an ideas explosion has blown a hole in the wall of my head. I know that in the past these events have had an impact on me like nothing else, so I'm looking forward to seeing where I end up.
excellent. i’m very much interested to know more about the conversations and experiences you’ve had recently that led to this state of change. we are of course, always in a constant state of change, which is one of the reasons that life is so exciting, although rarely can we experience such a radical transformation of the sort you describe here. i hope though, that there will still be space for some of the old within the new and that what you do hold on to won’t feel like stale wine in a new bottle.
Of course, it’s more a re-ordering than anything else, coming at everything from a new point of view to give things a new lease of life.
