The Mind

The Impact of Completion and Incompletion

Choices are typically made for some end, which is ultimately some form of perceived perfection – a more beautiful (better or perfect) state – which can then be appreciated. It is, as I have said, our nature to create and appreciate. If that cycle is completed, one is left fulfilled at the level at which a choice was made. Choosing to open the refrigerator is still a choice, requiring intent and action, but its completion does not really register in our conscious attention as satisfying since it is commonplace within our conscious frequency range. A knock on the door may defer that action but altering any of our minor choices with another choice does not seem to leave any energetic residue. But choices are associated with frequencies and so, like frequencies, exist at varying energetic levels. Some take more focused and longer term attention so the energetic impact is more impactful.

Some people get a college degree and realize that some very different career calls them and the degree’s focus is dropped without regret. It was a long term goal but the choice to leave it behind seems pretty clean. This example of completion is consciously choosing to no longer pursue the intended outcome.

Another example of dealing with a choice is to ignore it, deny it or put it on the “back burner”. With this in-action, it is my experience that the intention hangs out until it is brought to some conscious conclusion. Given the varying amounts of energy applied to goals, some will pester you consciously, like “I really need to get that done”, and some lie in the background unattended, like wanting to be a doctor when you were a kid (yes, it’s still there). But all require some degree of energy to hold them in place. The mind was given a command and until another one alters that energy, it lives on awaiting completion of the “choice-appreciation” cycle. I think that a fair amount of the energetic clutter that flows in and out of our minds is a result of incompletions waiting for an opening to remind to us of the desire we once had to have them be fulfilled. The mind is a perfectly oiled machine and it does everything that we ask. All requests lie in wait until their “completion and appreciation” cycle is done, even if some intentions are contradictory.

The WE

Lost and Found

How often do you find yourself deviating from a particular task due to something fascinating distracting your attention? Often, I’ll guess, is the answer. It could be as simple as stopping to greet an excited puppy while walking to the store and chatting for a while with its owner. Sometimes one thing of interest leads to another and you’ll soon be putting off your original task to pursue the other. If, for instance, the distraction is a charming human being, it could change the course of your life.

This may just be how each of “us” got here in the first place. If, as I proposed in Choice and Appreciation, this “I” is at the end of a very long stream of choices, then it seems to me that the only reason that a distinctive identity even exists is due to a choice made by an upstream perspective that is still very much “me” (my collective stream) and that choice still lies in my lineage.

In my Post “In the Beginning” I wondered about my energetic experience that perhaps any given “I” is just a transitory expression of a set of perspectives that comes together in a particular moment. Another way of saying this is that whatever comes out of my mouth is a singular expression (an I) of an experiential state that reflects a set of collected perspectives at one particular moment in time.

Perhaps, like our distracted selves, one particular focal point followed its curiosity and went traipsing off to pursue something of interest or to create something it had imagined. It is still tethered to the connections of its source [its collection of perspectives, its We]. They are still there but the awareness of their existence is muted by its attentiveness to its current pursuit. How does it find its way back to the conscious awareness of its “clan” and does it need to?
