I invite you to close your eyes.
Start by bringing your awareness to your head.
Notice if you can feel the sensations that are present in your head.
Does your face feel different from the top of your head or do they feel the same?
See if you can feel into the space beneath your skull,
Into your mind.
When you bring your awareness to your own mind,
What do you notice?
Is it your thoughts?
Sensations?
Something else?
Have you ever wondered where your mind comes from?
It all began hundreds of millions of years ago,
During a time when the only life on Earth were unicellular organisms.
Imagine what it might have felt like to be one of these cells.
Just one cell,
Isolated among a sea of other single-celled organisms.
On one particular day,
One of these many cells did something that had never been done before.
It merged with another cell.
We cannot know for certain why,
But we do know that this event of the merging of two cells led to the creation of the animal mind.
Over the next hundreds of millions of years,
These multicellular organisms evolved into the minds of fish,
Into the minds of mammals,
And now to us.
The cell that followed its creative impulse on that fateful day could never have fathomed the impact it would have on the future of evolution.
It was just following its creative urge.
So I ask you,
Hundreds of millions of years later,
What is the creative impulse that's calling you today?
What are you drawn to?
This could be the impetus for creating the equivalent of the next animal mind.
The possibilities are endless for what could emerge from our creative impulses.
One possibility is the emergence of the planetary mind.
What if you were today's equivalent of a single-celled organism,
But instead of being single-celled,
You were single-minded?
An isolated mind in a sea of other single-minded organisms.
What if you could merge your mind with another's to unlock the potential of a planetary mind?
Imagine what the planet would be like if all of its creatures united to form a cohesive mind.
Each one of us playing our particular role in the function of the planetary mind.
It may seem far-fetched,
Yes,
But we must tap into the possibilities of the universe.
If we could travel back in time and tell the unicellular organisms that they held the potential for the creation of the animal mind,
I imagine they would have done the equivalent of rolling their eyes and laughing.
Take a moment to feel into possibility.
What does possibility feel like?
What qualities does it have?
What if there were no limits on the potentiality of what's to come?
Whenever you're ready,
Gently let your eyes open and see if you can view the rest of your day through this lens of unlimited possibility.
