Without looking up, I could even see the beauty of the sky. In fact, I had to kneel and bow to enjoy high beauty. See… I, and surely you too, can move the beauty of the sky into a bucket, so it can also be in our hearts and minds or consciousness too, right?
Indeed, the mindset that has long been installed in our brain often makes it difficult to find simple ways to see and understand beauty, as well as peace and happiness. But, surely there are also ways to change that stiffness if we want and strive for it.
Stairway to the sky is our mind, so why don’t we put our feet on our heads? To reach God, to know the true self, the higher self, to understand pure Love which is completely different from what we have known so far, to achieve all that highest success, trample on your rational thoughts and pride.

Sometimes I wonder who to listen to when I’m at a crossroads – my mind or my heart?
Ellenka. I think that depends on the crossroads/intersection, which is more needed, logic or conscience.
Kneel and bow, the thoughts are subjective. I would say that the mystery of the one on high is beyond human comprehension.
As to the rational, do people really have the monopoly on rational thought, or is that subjective too?
Wow! That’s a great thought, Pamela.
You are right, the kneel and bow are subjective because that is my posture when I take the photo, but isn’t that kind of gesture done by people who pray, meditate, and others who describe a form of respect for something much higher, greater, and more powerful as the highest mystery of physical man?
About rational, is it objective and subjective, I think we can find the answer through our way, or the way people think in general in facing life.
It is the same as people’s opinion of art or creative writing. Subjective. People can vary in their opinions.
Oddly enough, people are often influenced by so called, “Experts” in art. Possibly half the stuff they have on their wall is to match the wall paper and they probably don’t like it but do it for prosperity.
I think its really important to think for yourself and make up your own mind.
Previously I was rather careful in responding to your reply, it turned out that your subsequent response indicated the similarity of our perspective. Thank you, Pamela.
I believe as well that we should always be aware of such possible beauties to witness. If we take the time to LOOK.
Your opinion is like that of Javanese people, who say that we must always be aware of and alert in living our lives. Thank you for your thoughts, LaJenna.
Sometimes we have to stand behind our mind. I do it when my grandchildren come in. ?
That’s the important secret of a wonderful grandmother, Vidocka.
Thanks for the compliment, Albert. I have to make some kind of pleasant secret ?
You are always welcome, wonderful grandma.
Stairway to the sky.
that one is interesting. I like the metaphor you’ve built Albert. I can see a stairway in my mind leading to the sky…
That’s great! Let me read the magic mantra, “Don’t!”.
Now I’m sure the stairway looks clearer and higher.
They do, much clearer and higher. Every other stair, however, is strewn with Legos.
Ignore others, my friend. That’s normal in relaxation, there will be lots of teasers so we can’t keep our focus.
Keep hold of the flame! Aum… Fffffhhh…
I ran an international teaching society many years ago. The logo was the flame of knowledge.
We used to have a magazine we published called “Kindle the flame.”
Experience and knowledge (along with other secrets) have brought us together!
I like that, it is a well said thought 🙂
So friend … in every thing, there is also something nice and positive … you just have to deepen yourself
Yeah! That’s exactly what I mean, my dear friend. There is always black and white, positive & negative in everything in this duality world.
Beautiful picture. I always feel good when I am totally alone sitting outside either at the very first light or during the late evening when the sun sets. But the rest of the day with all its chores, working schedule etc. and people surrounding me is very taxing. So whenever I am alone, I relish that time like you would not believe.
Alone with our self after all the tiring activities are indeed very relief and comforting.
Thanks for your visit and appreciation, dear friend.
Over the last few years I have gradually, and still continue, to retrain my brain. Amazing to compare where I once was to where I am today. Lovely photo.
Believe it or not, I witness your changes as long as we know each other here.
