Every surrounding gives us feedback depending to where our attention is put.
Let’s illustrate.
“We are on a hill with a stunning scenery of a rising fog that is painted in different colours by the setting sun.
There are different birds on different distances, rejoicing the same silence at random intervals.
At the same time it is also drizzling little. What would we respond to?
It is possible that we see and hear all in front of us while we are silently fulfilled with the beauty and the awe of the moment while a fresh drizzle welcomingly wakes us up. Or it can be that we quickly snap a picture to social media so that we can be fast on our way home.
On our way home we are very likely emerged in thoughts about “life’s latest news breakers”, while at random intervals, unheard “etheric” bird voices are rejoicing the silence.
On the mountain top the sun still sets in brilliant colours, which doesn’t go unnoticed by the birds at least…”
The text above is a simple example that we can place on any situation.
We usually assess and filtrate any surrounding we are in and then we continue to respond to only that part that we filtered, leaving out the rest. Our own responses then give us all the feedback of what we see, by which we have no space for any feedback from anything that’s naturally around us.
“Assessment and filtration” of our situations are inborn in us for connecting and survival. Assessment and filtration are great for observation, but our observation doesn’t work at all when we are caught in loops of ideas.
We tend to chase our own tails by keeping on responding to our own filtered responses. When these responses get time to grow very strong, then they lead to worries, depressions and possible sicknesses.
The only way to divert those responses is by “looking the other way”, which means “looking at (or for) what is really good” while appreciating it.
When we only look at what we know in our own hearts as “really right and good” then we only receive feedback from that what is really right and good. This works no matter where we are. When we look for what is good in all things then all things fall in the place where they belong, while we bring care and peace out of what is good.
This is not an idea of what is right or wrong or personally good or bad but a Good that’s good (or the best) thing for everyone and everything everywhere where we are.
When our own reactions keep on catching us, and we are done with that, then we can break those thought-loops by simply observing what’s going on around us, looking out for what is really nice and good or needing care. This gives us a natural feedback of what is good in any circumstance. Looking for or at what is good can be our inner fight that leads to what is good anywhere.
We become naturally more silent when we start observing what’s good. The more silent we are the better we can observe and find a healthy angle, instead of blocking all real angles with our ideas.
To recap.
We exist here in this dimension by feedback. Our mind is always filled to the rim with what it focuses on. When our mind is put on silence, then it is filled by itself with everything that is momentarily passing by in that silence out of that silence. If our heart is only put on what is good then it is fulfilled and eager to do what is good and healthy for everyone and everything everywhere.
We can circulate in a feedback pattern of thoughts and habits, or we can circulate in the indescribable feedback of the silence in which the Eternal Good resides, and heal what is broken in us and around us.
