It's turned out to be central to much of my writing.Jeffrey Williushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02748080134354732541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037880479077170696.post-53388105189120062692013-02-04T23:35:54.717-06:002013-02-04T23:35:54.717-06:00Words are very contextual although they are often ...Words are very contextual although they are often used rigidly where people often then can not communicate with each other. In one sentence, a word can mean one thing to me, in the next sentence the word can hold an opposite meaning if it helps to describe or to convey a feeling or a concept. <br /><br />To believe is one of those words for me. Since this article has children at its core... lets use belief in the context of what they see or don't expect to see. Children... initially don't have many or any belief systems... therefore... they don't hold expectations. The belief systems therefore filter or block energy from getting into our souls. They block our psychic pores. <br /><br />If one lives in the moment... then they do not operate from a belief system... they accept the energy or data or stimulii first hand. Belief systems or believing in what someone else said is not direct first hand experience. If one does not see with a child's vision, then they have sold their soul or have become blocked or damned because of how we think the world works. The real world therefore is experienced and not dictated and memorized or relinquished or taught. <br /><br />Therefore, any be-lie-f is a lie and to be-leave is to where someone LEAVES a state of BEing in favour of gossip. <br /><br />Therefore, a child not only receives physical stimulus... but they also are sensitive to unseen stimulus since they lack the beliefs or the brainwashing or domestication that blocks such wonders so often in adults. <br /><br />Words can never adequately describe what someone is feeling.... but a part of the fun is to create stories that can make you feel a certain way and experience nature and creation from a continually evolving and expanding point of view. <br /><br />I love your expression of seeing generously Jeffrey. I can see this can also be linked to the idea of expectations. For instance... lets say if someone is down on themselves.... they berate their actions... and therefore... they are not in alignment with life and their personal truth of how they receive and are gifted the universe. They have shut down to the greater world around them because of the rule of society.... <br /><br />However, if someone comes around and through empathy can feel that they are down... One can turn the situation around with compassion and see or vision a new story for them to enact. They can now see that they are happy about themselves and that they are creative and expressive and connected to the flow of life. The vision can be simple or can expand into infinity. Such a vision can be shared with direct communication or it can just be held in focus towards the person for which it is intended for.... In one sense... it is a visual prayer... or a probable reality that is being offered. If they believe what they are being energetically and telepathically transmitted with... then they can shift how they are experiencing reality. <br /><br />People often confuse thoughts or feelings coming towards them as their own. However, often translated thoughts through distinct vibrations being sent to them are usually accepted without discrimination. So in a sense we are all psychic, but don't know it. So with the person who is down, if we see them as down... our energy or vision of them reinforces the down experience... and they get further into a hole instead of being a part of the whole. <br /><br />Therefore, In seeing generously... one can offer the highest potential outcome for another person so that such energies are amplified and that such a conduit can be seen and felt more clearly to easily follow towards completion. This then is a true Gift.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037880479077170696.post-59384582580067716452013-01-29T11:12:02.036-06:002013-01-29T11:12:02.036-06:00Hi Galen -- yes, the concept of seeing generously ...Hi Galen -- yes, the concept of seeing generously has occurred to me over years of writing about curiosity, awareness and wonder, and it seems to absorb more meaning each time I use it.<br />Certainly openness and gratitude, but also just the simple idea of curiosity seems to me like a giving of yourself to the world (whether it's curiosity about Nature, other people, even oneself). And, as I touch on in this post, when you roll in an element of faith, isn't one making an even greater investment in the incredible beauty and goodness of this world?Jeffrey Williushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02748080134354732541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037880479077170696.post-50637390129191111672013-01-28T22:07:07.663-06:002013-01-28T22:07:07.663-06:00I love that phrase "seeing generously." ...I love that phrase "seeing generously."

Thank You.<br /><br />Seeing generously is a life long journey, an approach that requires commitment, practice and determination. With continued effort it has amazing rewards for the practitioner and those around them. <br />wondersofnaturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18431446408245299340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037880479077170696.post-53371266222086782922013-01-26T10:41:02.941-06:002013-01-26T10:41:02.941-06:00Hey Zane -- How nice to see your presence here! Yo...Hey Zane -- How nice to see your presence here! Your comment is very well put. It's something I'm not always very good at myself. And the irony is that, at least for me, if I find myself working too hard at awareness, I might go right past it. It's something you can't make happen; you have to let it happen. Thanks so much for the comment -- hope you'll come back!Jeffrey Williushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02748080134354732541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037880479077170696.post-62419401561080736012013-01-25T20:52:45.553-06:002013-01-25T20:52:45.553-06:00"Seeing generously" means to be fully op..."Seeing generously" means to be fully open and aware without judgement. The ability to see generously is perhaps a benefit of realizing our connectedness to everything else.
