When you teach a child that a bird is called a bird, they never see the bird again. – Unknown

Without realizing it we often clutter the beauty of our life experience by expanding it far beyond what is there.
In the 1980’s when music videos became popular, Neil Young made a conscious effort to “not” tell a story with the videos he made. He said “we are killing imagination by offering a story-line to go with the music we write,” and I agree with Neil.
Why not spend some time experiencing life without clutter, expanding our experience.
Eckhart Tolle often speaks about observing without adding unnecessary thought. For example, as you watch a bird, simply see the bird and enjoy the experience without adding thought such as, what a beautiful bird, what beautiful colors, etc
By eliminating thought and clutter we open to a truly Divine experience. These are magical moments of consciousness, multidimensional in what is perceived.
