Change the World - Cut Your Toenails!

Is this a trite joke?

Am I trying to be clever?

Do I really believe that by cutting my toenails I will actually change the world!!?

Well, my first answer is "no", my second "no", and my third a resounding "YES!"

At the same time I am not saying that ONLY cutting my toenails will change the world.

Cutting toenails is part of the fundamental law (which for a lot of the time I fail to keep ... but I try) that places the body in the appropriate relationship with the soul.

If the body, in obedience and subjection to the soul, can keep itself as fit and able as possible - then the soul can exercise her right to experience whatever it is that has brought her to this place.

THEN all manner of things will change ... first within the human experience, then followed closely by creative practical revelation via the soul (which is one of the reasons why I produce abstract and surreal art ... but that is another blog - later).

The first trick is for my body, that is my human experience, to come to understand that I am both body AND soul (although I am speaking of one entity!).

The next trick is for my body to realise that the soul has so much MORE to give to this world than the body could ever think of.

The body is only thinking in a bodily way (most of the time) so is therefore very restricted in anything truly creative or innovative.

The soul, on the other hand, is not only freely available to each of us ... but is, I believe, the very conduit by which ALL things creative come into this world. If the body allows it - does not hamper it ... then the soul will be free to act out what I call "the steps towards the labyrinth" ... this is the acutely creative journey towards the source of the soul (which is also the souls primary, if not only, goal on this plain), where the purist of abstraction reigns (another subject I will talk about later ... unless you want a sneak preview which you will find on my website ... go to my profile).

But how can I live out all this? Simple. By being the Lord of the Rings! ...
