Imagine the Universe?
It’s funny how answers are sometimes found in the strangest places. I recently bought Season 2 of one of my all-time favorite creative stories, “Twin Peaks.” I highly recommend listening to the Log Lady intros, as they contain some very useful insights. Among them is an answer supporting my last blog: “Dreaming With Your Eyes Open.”
Two very powerful forces have no limits or constraints: our imagination and the universe. The internal universe (our imagination) and the external universe are always in balance. The two equal forces connect through us. Think of us as that connection that keeps Siamese twins together. Those of you familiar with the symbol for infinity might understand the true symbolism; we are the middle point connecting the circles.
The less we know about the external universe, the less we know about the internal universe, and vice versa. Thus, the circles on both sides of us remain small. As we explore one universe, the other grows in equal proportion. As we understand one universe, the more we understand the other, and the two bubbles grow. I’ll never forget the day I learned about Jupiter’s moon, Europa. The more I learned about that moon, the more my imagination created all these cool-looking potential life forms. That part of my internal universe did not exist until I learned about Europa (external universe). A prime example and real model of this would be Leonardo da Vinci. I highly recommend taking the time to read books about him and look at his artwork. This should shed some light on my thought process.
Let’s also consider physics, where there is something very similar. For example, physics indicates that if I stand in front of a massive boulder and push with all my strength, an equal amount of force will be pushed back. When I push into my external universe, an equal force is pushed into my internal universe.
So when you sit there and your internal universe (imagination) is not manifesting your desired result, try pushing into the external universe. It’s important to remember we are the ones who control how large these universes grow.
