What do you consider normal?

Is it watching the game, going out with your girls, playing with the kids at home?

What do you consider abnormal?

Is it meditation, drumming or seeking deeper answers through plant teachers?

Normal and abnormal are two sides of an illusory coin that we live daily called Polarity. Yin and yang, white and black, good and bad, up and down. The reality of these oppositional states is that they coexist as a unitary, overarching holism; one cannot exist without the other. Such a way of perceiving the world in truth requires a total rebooting of the psyche.

As long as one is unbalanced, living on the up or down side of the polarity seesaw or climbing and descending wildly from one to the other, normalcy and abnormalcy remain the common state of being and the illusion remains paramount in your observations. Beyond the duality and into the unity, it becomes very difficult to communicate clearly to those still mired in opposition. It requires intense, concentrated interaction and carefully directed discussion to clarify the nature of the unitary state and can often only be done in parables, koans and other literary devices and thought exercises that harken unto and do not attempt to describe directly that which is utterly indescribable.

That which lies just beyond thought. Beyond the 5 senses.

That which binds it all together and provides the underlying impetus that drives us through time and space in search of home, that from which we arise as avatars of sound and fury, incarnate only for a short while. And then we return to the substratum of fundamental consciousness, the zero-point field. Which is normal. And which is also abnormal, according to limited perceptual thought and consideration.

Keep watching the game, human ability can be transcendent and our superstars of sports are engaging gamma brainwave functioning to enter the Zone and perform for us.

Keep meditating, consistent practice and exploration of your inner realms will open you up to greater realities.

Keep going out with your girls and experiencing the connectivity and synchronicity of love and exhilaration as life finds you where you are, leading you willingly into the future of your choice.

Keep drumming, the ecstatic trance of rhythm and connection to the beat of the multiverse will provide you with a key to mindfulness and presence.

Keep playing with your children and cherishing the moments you share with them, for they are fleeting and end too soon. Time and space take our babies away from us as they do everything in this life.

Keep living and seeking the deeper answers. Understanding what lies beyond is the key to finally finding and accepting that which binds us all to this earth and this life and living in harmony with ourselves and our environment.
