a letter


This is a playfull exercise in observing that even a very simple occurance you are very familiair with, can be a key to open up your palette of choice.

Looking at the image above, your MIND informs you, at the speed of light, interpreteting the shape of the black and the white with a form of understanding:

"A..... a letter!"

Now you know all there is to know about it.
Or .... not.....?

Ask yourself, do you, really know all there is to know about it, seeing the picture and calling it ' A.....a letter' ?

A letter has two meanings in English:
  • an 'icon', a single collectively chosen symbol to put a sound into writing, used to construct words with by stringing several, usually more than two different ones, of these 'letters' together.
  • a specific type of a writing product, conveying ideas transferred into symbols, so another person can take notice of the idea, some other time, some other place. 
Even ' A' has several meanings leading to various interpretations:
  • 'a' ....... is a sound that can convey emotions....like ' surprise' or 'I've got it, I understand it' or ' wow, this is beautiful' or ' He!! This is my last warning. Stop that!'.... to name a few.
  • 'a' ...... indicating 'one'. 'Fish' is an unidentified amount of the type of thng that follows...... 'a' fish, means 1 fish.
  • however.....to confuse and shake up your system a little......
     'a' people, contains usually many people.....so 'a' something can also mean many. There are many people in the tribe of the Sioux, the tribe of Apple users, the tribe of Facebook users. ( Also implying... many is not neccesarily 'all' )
    However.... if all people are part of a tribe called mankind, than.... 'a' can even refer to 'all'
So yes, 'A....a letter' is brought under your attention, leaving you jnow with a whole world of wonderment what message this conveys.

Now, if you want to (= chose to) really receive the full clear content of something that is brought under your attention, you cannot know fully what it really is about, by accepting or dismissing ( take it or leave it) it judging it on some ( a few) aspect(s) of its' first appearance'.... or your first (and only?) interpretation that comes to MIND.

When you actively desire to get a good full (multi-layered, multifacetted) impression of the message any form of message carrier conveys.... you don't 'get' it from:
  • runnnig away from it
    (you don't like it's appearance, you don't like the emotions you feel receiving it.......therefor it must be ....'bad', ' evil', 'scary'... since ' good things', you interpret life, only come on warm fuzzy feelings....when your woirld is an either... or..... organised world)
  • staring at the enveloppe
  • reading only the first word of it
  • counting the number of time's an 'a' is in it
You will have to sit down, give it enough of your attention, using your (reading-) skills to your best ability.
Only when you allow it to 'speak' its message to you, all of it, you stand a chance of ' getting' te message.

Only by the time you ' know' what it is about, you can decide what you chose to do with it.
That palette contains 3 types of choices:
  1. keep/use, as is
  2. use elements from it
  3. let go completely
In a mind set organised on 2 (opposing) types of actions....
usually number 2 in this list doesn't get showed to your awareness, because it would mean ' simultaniouly keeping some elements and letting go of some others' .
  • A.... that doesn't qualify as opposing and ...
  • B......that doesn't qualify as 2 and ..
  • there is a multitude of options behind door number 2!
    Some 'already tried', some 'new'......
But he, you specified  in your core settings to only want to have choice between two, opposing single ones.... not between many....

What you might observe from knowing how 'letters' work, is that most of the time you need many different letters (about 26 in our alphabet) in a myriad of combinations, in order to put into/derive from a letter (the complete writing product) any real meaning and be able to really enjoy the sending/receiving process.

What makes you think the ABC of life can convey a complex message using one single vibe?

O yeah......you think that becasue you know that now! You have just completed reading this message about it!

So, that is that one vibe then......:


A

or... this is a website about choice, remember..... is it:
