The Impossibility of "Ordinary"


The sensation of “ordinary” hides the deepest, highest, brightest, darkest, wildest fact of existence: the miracle--the unreasonable fact--of “INFINITE BEING”. 

You need (I can tell you because I am you) nothing more than a space and time free of distractions to the quiet contemplation of the sensation of “ordinary”.

In order to not be lost in mental chatter you must choose this uncluttered state.

But you seem incapable of choosing an undistracted opportunity for contemplation of the easily overlooked baseline state, the raw sensation of ordinary, behind which lies the hidden-in-plain-sight mystery of infinite life. 

To do this, you would have to choose to walk into boredom;  choose unstimulated; choose emptiness;  choose quiet. God knows, nothing is harder than that.

The tragicomedy of this is that by refusing to find out that you already are everything, you instead have to have...some thing.

Lousy trade: everything for some thing.

Loser.  

Well, knowing this may change, a little bit, what you are willing to consider.
