Living A Generic Life

Generic: a characteristic of, or relating to, a class or group of things; not specific. We can say “Blue” when the colour is actually “Ultramarine.”

Ultramarine: a brilliant deep blue pigment (more to the red spectrum) originally obtained from lapis lazuli, now made from powdered fired clay, sodium carbonate, sulphur, and resin…

…so it’s not just blue! 😀 Even then, any colour we see is within an environment, which reflects its own colours onto the object. So, in truth, we never see the actual colour – except in a room with no light source! Mind blowing!

If we find we are getting bored with our generic life, then the remedy is to look more closely. As a result, life becomes more meaningful, and more fun! Unfortunately, generically-orientated people don’t like this, as it makes them feel uncomfortable. However, they will spend time seeking out non-generic people for relief from their own self-imposed limitations.

We are not generic beings belonging to a class or group; we are all unique, and don’t all believe the same thing.

We have qualities beyond the conformity of our social and earthly environment. How can we know this? By simply looking into the mirror of the mind, the origin of our being – the original. That is pure wakeful emptiness – the source of our being. This pure, wakeful emptiness – like white – can manifest all colours, but stays unaffected in its pure state.

We are all geniuses. Genius: Latin; ‘attendant spirit present from one’s birth; innate ability or inclination.

Manifestations of genius are only to enlighten others. Anything else is merely a distracting toy (and this can include spiritual endeavours).
