Ultra narrow focus

This morning I woke up with a message in my head… “It is time that you focus on some teeny narrow topic. The focus will open up new worlds of knowledge. It will show you analogies that will shed light on some of the most important aspects of the universe. DO IT! “

I have often had what I called the lesson of the week or the lesson of the month. It was a topic of fascination and philosophical conversations for a while. After it yielded many fascinating insights into god and the universe, I would be given a new topic.

One silly little physics phenomenon fascinated me for almost 20 years before the time was right to start studying it in great detail. It was Ultra Narrow Bandwidth. By focusing on this impossibly slow and narrow topic, I grew faster than ever before in my life. It resulted in fascinating insights into life, relationships, business and the nature of the universe. (It also earned a decent living for me and hundreds of others.)

There is another topic that has fascinated me for most of my life. I have not told anyone about this fascination until recently because it was not acceptable in the main stream of my culture. A month or two ago, I started realizing that perhaps it ran deeper than only this lifetime. My mind was opened to the vast amounts of psychic energies that could be wrapped up in this silence, this fear about acknowledging a basic and recurring need within me.
Since that time, I have been telling a few trusted people that all my life I have been fascinated by being tied up.
(You can now take one of two stands…
“ Is that all? After such a buildup? Man are you repressed or what?”
or “Ohh, one of those weirdos huh?”)

This is not an unusual fascination. There are many web sites devoted to the topic. What I think is special is a new realization that this is not really about sex. It involves deep energies that may transcend multiple lifetimes and even our contract with god about being in this reality.

These are strange words to come from me. I have always been the rational scientific type. My point of view is widening to include more psychic and spiritual phenomena and how they may relate to the physical life we know.

Anyway, I have been and will be focusing on the feelings and energies associated with being bound. So far it has been yielding some fascinating analogies and insights about the nature of relationships.

Very interesting. Maybe we could compare notes

I posited on my blog that reality is fractal in nature. Your experience with studying tiny phenomena in great depth, it seems, support such a hypothesis. If the framework no longer serves, of course, nothing wrong with letting it go.

One additional thought, the tip of an iceberg, really, I look forward to more of yours: People let fear bind them.

Julie,
OK Mz iceberg, That is a pretty powerful tip. I can't wait to see the rest of the berg.

While our business was growing up, I started marveling at how much people fear. I began to realize that I didn't fear like most people. I had a hard time understanding their motivations because i didn't understand their fears.

Perhaps that is one reason I am fascinated by personally being tied up. I don't get the recommended daily amount of bondage from my fears.

Paul, I lost track of you for too long!

If there are no absolutes, that means there's nothing to hold us back - and nothing to hold to. So, people tend to create something.

I don't get people either...
