If you dip into this blog randomly I wouldn’t be surprised if you discovered me writing about how everything is connected, or writing about entanglement, mutually beneficial relationships, or things like how we co-create reality.
What holds all those ideas together? Circles, cycles and looping paths of influence. Whatever I do, say or think changes my experience of the world today AND changes the world I’m living in. Those actions, words and thoughts don’t only change my subjective experience, they change my lived reality….they change the physical world as I garden, move, eat and drink. They change my relationships as I set off other trains of actions, words and thoughts in others. And collectively we humans are changing the entire planet.
But none of this is one way traffic. Because the changed world, changes my actions, words and thoughts. The communications and actions of others influences what I think about, how I feel and what I’ll do today.
Reciprocity is fundamental to the reality of the vast interconnected web in which we exist. Some people might call it karma. Others might say what goes around comes around. Yet others say you receive what you give.
This reciprocity is rarely linear, however. It doesn’t work like a simple back and forth between two isolated characters. Well, maybe sometimes it’s a bit like that. But, usually, the waves of energy and influence swirl around, wash up on distant shores, magnify into hurricanes and tsunamis which spread and dissipate as they do so. It’s non-linear.
Non-linear makes the detail of individual lives pretty impossible to predict. But we can choose what to do, what to say, or write, and what to think today. We can choose the quality of the waves and ripples we set off.
So why not choose the loving ones, the kind ones, and the creative ones. It’s a good place to start.
