Our psyche seems to be the source of all things.
It is the invisible world
that serves as the foundation
of the visible world.

We have access to both worlds,
live in two worlds at the same time,
and project/imagine the psyche
to be a world apart,
heaven,
where God and the angels,
and all the good dead people live. 

Projection/imagination--
the ability to project/imagine--
is our greatest gift (I think).
It enables/produces everything
we have created 
in the 10,000 or so years
since the last ice age
when the weather warmed up enough
for us to be able to show our stuff.

We have a lot of stuff.
We are absolutely amazing.
And dreadful, as well.

I think of the psyche 
as being a body/brain thing.
We are just a bundle of psychic energy
in physical form.

We are born with potential
and become who we turn out to be
by way of our engagement with,
reaction to,
the conditions/circumstances
of our life.

Change our point of origin
and the world that awaited our birth
and we would not be the same person
because we would have used different
combinations of perception/response,
developed different strengths/capacities,
and a different self.

The better able we are to play
with the various aspects of ourselves,
the more of us we bring to life,
and the deeper, fuller, broader, etc.
we become.

Playing is the foundation of civilization
and achievement as a species.

The more playful we are,
the more capable we become
of a wide range of responses
to the conditions/circumstances 
of our life.
The more responses we are capable of,
the more ways we can see/interpret
our experiences,
the better our life will be
(In terms of getting the most
out of the time available to us--
and what we "get" is awareness,
understanding, comprehension,
realization, enlightenment).

Our psyche's interaction with 
the terms/conditions/circumstances
of our life
produces our way of life,
our way of living our life,
who we are,
and who we are capable of becoming.

Our place is to become conscious
of our unconscious,
to be cognizant of our psychic-side
and capable of communing with
the invisible world
accessed by our mind/body interaction.

There is more to us than meets the eye,
and it is our business 
to know as much of us as we can
and to live as fully alive as possible
in the time left for living.

Why waste any time not exploring
our inner world?
