Are you smart? Are you aware of everything going on around you in all time, space and dimensions, seeing connections, pasts and futures that no one else is aware of? And yet do you find that other people always seem to be talking down to you, explaining and pontificating on things to you as if you had no idea? How do you react? Do you nod, smile and think "interesting"? Or do you get annoyed, worked up, and drawn into a meaningless circular argument? Do the other people ever concede you known what you're talking about? If not and you'd like greater ease in these situations ask "What if I didn't need to prove I was smart"? Does trying to prove you're smart mean that you've actually decided you're not? Is that true? Or did you buy that point of view from someone, sometime? When you try to prove you’re smart, you have to have all the answers. What if your smarts -- your awareness -- was the thing that could point out where the answers end and the questions begin? What else could be possible then?

As I am aware of a lot of things, after reading this I can see how we all have this same experience of feeling a need to prove we are smart or right, and may be giving each other that feeling without realizing it. I for one notice that I may have these great ideas or stories to share or what not, and at times that I would express it, be it in writing or speaking, it doesn't always come off the way I had expected. The other party may not get what I am trying to convey, I would sometimes blame the invisible wall that blocks that sharing of exchanged energy. That invisible wall is something that I feel with some people and some people without that feeling of that invisible wall I can feel myself sharing my energy of ideas and thoughts. When people grasp and effortlessly understand what I am sharing there's that connection. Now my question is who or what put that invisible wall there? Did it have to be there? Was there a reason for it to be there? Where did it come from? Was that invisible wall always there, before I was born? It could even be that the invisible wall is a being all of it's own. What else could be used to describe this invisible wall that blocks us off from fully understanding another person?

Are you making something about the "invisible wall" good/bad, right/wrong and/or meaningful? What if you were simply sensing the difference between things, an awareness of what people are willing to receive, or not? Give this a go. Next time you sense a barrier, ask a question, for example, "what is this, can I change it, if so how do I change it?" You'll have an awareness of what is possible and then you can choose. Does it matter where, or why things are different? Do you need to know why an apple is different to a nightingale? Or do you just know these things are different and have their own unique contribution to make? Having an awareness of the difference is awesome! Then you get to fly through creating things with ease with people with whom there are no barriers. How cool are you?!
