Time to honour the Mysterious
by Christo Louw
…in the beginning when stars were stars, and we were living in caves in a kind of survival mode, we would sometimes look up at the stars and see how beautiful it all was, and we would try to understand our place in all of this. We would look at everything around us and see things that we could relate to and sometimes, just sometimes, we would notice a certain movement or event that was simply mysterious, something we couldn’t wrap our young minds around. Now, if we were alone as a witness to such a mysterious event or movement, we would be faced with a choice, a choice that involves how we process this new information. We could ignore that it ever happened, which is but one way of dealing with this or we could choose to find out more, before we feel comfortable with the knowledge that there is nothing more to it. And by choosing to find out more, we have to investigate and you’ll start telling others you meet about the experience. How the event is valued by me as the experiencer depends largely on how others react and the help or opinions they offer. Secondly, it is how I choose others’ help and opinions to influence my value to the experience. So it seems today that somewhere along the time-line of history, we’ve learnt to not tell our stories of discovery to just anyone, but when approaching the ones with the proper attitude, we will benefit the most from our own experiences. Personally, I think it is about time we again honour the mysterious!!!
