The metaphoric distance from my heart to my head has rapidly narrowed. I no longer can think without a consultation with my heart first. Too often my cognitions have been based on what happened in the past or a negative script brought on by low self-esteem. My heart has no such debilitations. It relies on the pure communications with the universal mind and the environments I travel through. The universe is never wrong it just is. However the environments I traverse through can give me an unbalanced view of what I truly feel. The only way for me to “filter” this potential toxicity is to pray. Prayer for me is the Serenity Prayer and thanking my Higher Power every chance I get when he comes to my rescue emotionally, physically, spiritually and even financially.
My cognitive self is one that has blessed me with an incredible creative mind that can write, speak and move among earthlings with an innate deftness I can only marvel at. I dare not take too much credit because it is automatic thought. This adroitness is unconscious competence. This skill comes at a price however. I have a short attention span and can get too distracted by the “next thing” before I have even finished with the present thing. I also know that for those actions that I deem to be mundane like where my keys are or my wallet is bring me to consequences of wasted time and unnecessary consternation.
What I can do is to actually think about how my shoe is tied instead of leaving it to my unconscious. In this way maybe I can teach my myopic camera to broaden into a Cinerama like view and allow me to function in a practical way, something that has plagued me for as long as I can remember. The 18 inches of truth, the distance from my head to my heart may not in fact have physically changed but I will ask my heart to guide and guard me and let my head remember where my keys are.
