GIMME SOME SPACE

Did you ever notice how many terms we use both for "space" and for our own cognitive and emotional states: bright, brilliant, nebulous, "spaced out", stellar nurseries…? There's a reason for that.

Our perception of "space" is always only a reflection of our level of awareness and acceptance. What seems far from us is what we distance ourselves from. What seems other to us is what we won't admit we are. What we are observing when we see empty space is our own demand: Gimme some space! Abra cadabra - and there you are. All the space you know what to do with and vastly more.

There are many who gaze into space, thinking they are looking "out" and then wonder why it is that with all that space "out there" and with all those "other planets" we are not perceiving "extra-terrestrial" life.

There is no relative size in something that is infinite. There is no this vs. that. There is no this is contained in that, but that is not contained in this. There is no other - anything.

The perception of empty space is a representation of our gaps in understanding and our emotional distance from various aspects of ourselves.

There is no "in" vs. "out". When we gaze "out there", we are seeing a physical representation of our level of consciousness.

In Hebrew the term for understanding is very close to one of the terms for moon. Moon is levanah. Understanding is havanah. To understand is L'havin.

Let's not presume that another's perception of what Earth "looks like" is wrong and ours right. There is no shape to Earth. As our consciousness "shapes up", so will our perception of Earth change.

Remember too that even a sphere looks very different in different dimensions (dementions).

There are various ways of understanding the term: describing reality.

One is to presume there is a pre-existence reality "out there" that we can apprehend (take into our mental custody).

Another way to understand the term: describing reality is far more literal - to actually describe reality.

It's *all* Earth. And Earth is an anagram of Heart.

The more literal we become, the less we abstract terms and meanings, the more grounded we become and it all becomes Earth - Heart.
