Your capacity to receive insights is influenced by your filters of perception. We all have them. Notice how your view of the world has shifted over time. Experience expands your bandwidth of perception and practice is a primary pathway to gain it.

Innately you know there is more that is possible (whichever aspect of your world you are looking to enhance). There are whispers and inklings that arise in unbidden moments. They are palpable and powerful. So is practice.

The AttunementFor The Traveller (an excerpt), John O’DonohueWhen you travel,A new silenceGoes with you,And if you listen,You will hearWhat your heart wouldLove to say.A journey can become a sacred thing:Make sure, before you go,To take the timeTo bless your going forth,To free your heart of ballastSo that the compass of your soulMight direct you towardThe territories of spiritWhere you will discoverMore of your hidden life,And the urgenciesThat deserve to claim you.May you travel in an awakened way,Gathered wisely into your inner ground;That you may not waste the invitationsWhich wait along the way to transform you.May you travel safely, arrive refreshed,And live your time away to its fullest;Return home more enriched, and freeTo balance the gift of days which call you.

The Return, Geneen Marie Haugen

Some day, if you are lucky,you'll return from a thunderous journeytrailing snake scales, wing fragmentsand the musk of Earth and moon.Eyes will examine you for signsof damage, or changeand you, too, will wonderif your skin shows tracesof fur, or leaves,if thrushes have built a nestof your hair, if Andromedaburns from your eyes.Do not be surprised by prickly questionsfrom those who barely inhabittheir own fleeting lives, who barely tastetheir own possibility, who barely dream.If your hands are empty, treasureless,if your toes have not grown claws,if your obedient voice has notbecome a wild cry, a howl,you will reassure them. We warned you,they might declare, there is nothing else,no point, no meaning, no mystery at all,just this frantic waiting to die.And yet, they tremble, mute,afraid you've returned without sweetelixir for unspeakable thirst, withouta fluent dance or holy languageto teach them, without a compassbearing to a forgotten border whereno one crosses without weepingfor the terrible beauty of galaxiesand granite and bone. They tremble,hoping your lips hold a secret,that the song your body now singswill redeem them, yet they fearyour secret is dangerous, shattering,and once it flies from your astonishedmouth, they — like you — must disintegratebefore unfolding tremulous wings.

Some day if you are lucky...

Your lips hold a secret...

Eyes will examine you for signs...

Oh! The Places You'll Go!, Dr. Seuss

Congratulations!Today is your day.You’re off to Great Places!You’re off and away!You have brains in your head.You have feet in your shoes.You can steer yourself any direction you choose.You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who’ll decide where to go.You’ll look up and down streets. Look’em over with care. About some you will say, “I don’t choose to go there.” With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you’re too smart to go down a not-so-good street.And you may not find any you’ll want to go down. In that case, of course, you’ll head straight out of town. It’s opener there in the wide open air.Out there things can happen and frequently do to people as brainy and footsy as you.And when things start to happen, don’t worry. Don’t stew. Just go right along. You’ll start happening too.Oh! The Places You’ll Go!You’ll be on your way up!You’ll be seeing great sights!You’ll join the high fliers who soar to high heights.You won’t lag behind, because you’ll have the speed. You’ll pass the whole gang and you’ll soon take the lead. Wherever you fly, you’ll be best of the best. Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.Except when you don’t.Because, sometimes, you won’t.I’m sorry to say so but, sadly, it’s true that Bang-ups and Hang-ups can happen to you.You can get all hung up in a prickle-ly perch. And your gang will fly on. You’ll be left in a Lurch.You’ll come down from the Lurch with an unpleasant bump. And the chances are, then, that you’ll be in a Slump.And when you’re in a Slump, you’re not in for much fun. Un-slumping yourself is not easily done.You will come to a place where the streets are not marked. Some windows are lighted. But mostly they’re darked. A place you could sprain both your elbow and chin! Do you dare to stay out? Do you dare to go in? How much can you lose? How much can you win?And if you go in, should you turn left or right…or right-and-three-quarters? Or, maybe, not quite? Or go around back and sneak in from behind? Simple it’s not, I’m afraid you will find, for a mind-maker-upper to make up his mind.You can get so confused that you’ll start in to race down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space, headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.The Waiting Place…for people just waiting.Waiting for a train to go or a bus to come, or a plane to go or the mail to come, or the rain to go or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow or waiting around for a Yes or No or waiting for their hair to grow. Everyone is just waiting.Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite or waiting around for Friday night or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil, or a Better Break or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants or a wig with curls, or Another Chance. Everyone is just waiting.No! That’s not for you!Somehow you’ll escape all that waiting and staying. You’ll find the bright places where Boom Bands are playing. With banner flip-flapping, once more you’ll ride high! Ready for anything under the sky. Ready because you’re that kind of a guy!Oh, the places you’ll go! There is fun to be done! There are points to be scored. There are games to be won. And the magical things you can do with that ball will make you the winning-est winner of all. Fame! You’ll be famous as famous can be, with the whole wide world watching you win on TV.Except when they don’t. Because, sometimes, they won’t.I’m afraid that some times you’ll play lonely games too. Games you can’t win ‘cause you’ll play against you.All Alone!Whether you like it or not, Alone will be something you’ll be quite a lot.And when you’re alone, there’s a very good chance you’ll meet things that scare you right out of your pants. There are some, down the road between hither and yon, that can scare you so much you won’t want to go on.But on you will go though the weather be foul. On you will go though your enemies prowl. On you will go though the Hakken-Kraks howl. Onward up many a frightening creek, though your arms may get sore and your sneakers may leak. On and on you will hike. And I know you’ll hike far and face up to your problems whatever they are.You’ll get mixed up, of course, as you already know. You’ll get mixed up with many strange birds as you go. So be sure when you step. Step with care and great tact and remember that Life’s a Great Balancing Act. Just never forget to be dexterous and deft. And never mix up your right foot with your left.And will you succeed?Yes! You will, indeed!(98 and ¾ percent guaranteed.)Kid, you’ll move mountains!So…be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray or Mordecai Ale Van Allen O’Shea, you’re off to Great Places!Today is your day!Your mountain is waiting.So…get on your way!
