Hey Veronica,
That’s some pretty wild stuff about merging with the wind, but your current obsession is dead on: if we can’t perceive thing a thing, we can’t do it. I forget who, but a lot of philosophers talk about the world existing only in our mind. While this doesn’t mean the physical world doesn’t exist, it does mean that, for each of us, the way the world is is the way we perceive it.

Can we allow information in unfiltered? That’s a lot of information. For me, I think my tiny little brain would overload.

Thanks for stopping by.

removing barriers…I had been searching for info about literally removing barriers in the brain. I found you, instead- so I’ll talk.

my current obsession= a thing cannot be done until it is perceived. If I perceive the anger rolling off of someone, then I only need transfer the skill and refocus on another subject to perceive other things within other things…

how to eliminate certain barriers that allow extrasensory info to pass through unfiltered???? I can do it with people, but I want to merge with the wind.

thoughts are for thinkers. ideas are for me.love you.

Hello Roia, thanks for reading. You’re right that it’s tough to tolerate musical drivel, but in my opinion even the best artists produce a lot of so-so work. For me, when I give myself permission to fail and just have a little fun with things, I’m happier with the results.

I’ve happened upon your blog via “Write to Done”, and I really appreciate what you wrote. I am a singer-songwriter, and I have a horrible time allowing myself to write “crap” as you pointed out above: “I chose a set time to write, everyday. What I wrote didn’t matter, only that I wrote crap…and write crap I did.” A major barrier for me is tolerating the musical drivel I write on the way to a good song.

I look forward to reading more of your stuff!

Three things have helped me. Getting rid of the TV was the first. My mind woke up the day I said goodbye to it. Without a TV, you have to think what to do with your leisure time. Scary.

Mindmapping was the next. Now I’m organised, not just in planning but in actual writing. Whereas talks used to be ready an hour before the event, now they are ready to go at least a week ahead.

Third, snow, in a country (UK) where more than a half a millimetre causes everything to grind to a halt. If everything’s closed down, there’s nothing to do but work.

The real third is having space to leave my books, laptop and papers in situ, so that whenever I sit down, there they are waiting to be worked on.

Biggest barrier: having interesting blogs to read, think about and reply to!!
