Initial Thoughts on Experiment 2.0
So the question now is, "what does it mean to be conducting this experiment?"
So far it means giving my life to something. Which, in its way, is nothing new.
A long time ago, maybe 15 years now, i gave my life to Love. And i gave myself to Love again and again and again throughout my life. Love was and has always been what came naturally - what wanted me and what i wanted in return. What served me and what i served.
After college it developed into something more specific and i gave my life to a broadcast network i was then developing. (that link won't work on macs. sorry)
At 26, i gave my life to my son. This remains true to this day.
None of these have ended. Each has become part of the other and all of them have brought me to this place and this experiment now.
They have all been empowering and fulfilling beyond measure. And they've made all the difference in my life - transforming the everyday into the everyday miraculous.
And now, it seems that these three things i have already given myself to are urging me forward in this new way. And so, i'm finding out what it means to give myself to a life serving humanity and the world.
So far, it's been a lot like falling in love. The ideas of what it means to serve refine themselves in me like sweet whispers from a lover. More and more my every thought comes back to, "how does this serve the experiment?" And each day, i feel my relationship with this thing weaving into the fabric of my life.
It's a powerful thing, being driven by and pulled down a Single-minded path. It's a powerful thing letting something much greater then the limitations of my ego influence each and every decision. To become transparent to the transcendent. Which is, it seems, the greatest benefit and the greatest change for me that has begun since the experiment began...being present to the greatness that is beyond me, opening myself to its gentle current during as many moments as possible during my days.
Finding out what it means to be...in this new way.
