How incredibly fun it can be to explore the many different facets of perspective. To take one thing and turn it over, inside out, and change it into something quite different than it had been originally. To see the same thing with a new perspective. From a different angle and to gain further insight and understanding.
The is the root of the Godhead. To be able to see all things from all possible perspectives. To see all possible outcomes. We, of course, are incapable of attaining true Godhead understanding, but we can still play with our own conscience . We can place ourselves into a variety of different mindsets. We can ‘get into character’, if you will, and by doing so we can play within the variables circumstances of any given situation. We can ‘walk in another persons shoes’ for a time. Even so, we can never come to any complete understanding about anything simply because, we as human are incapable.
We are limited to our experience and based on our prior experiences, we can attain deeper perspective by comparing and contrasting the given situation to what we have observed before. We are not capable of acquiring enough experience within our short life span to represent anything close to a complete Godhead understanding.
Still, this should not stop us from exploring our own minds and seeking deeper understanding. We should strive to be like God. We should accept challenges. We should contemplate. We should educate. We should always continue searching for that deeper relationship with our world. To not do so, is simply wasting this experience of life, in my humble opinion that is.
I see life as an amazing puzzle, filled with mystery and wonder. I do not see life as boring or negative. It is, rather, a wild collective of unbelievable experiences just waiting to be had. To avoid these adventures of the mind, body, and soul is to throw away what if means to live. To really live. For all we know, none of us may ever get to do any of this ever again.
Explore the world and the mysteries within it. Challenge the mind. Never sit in stagnancy. Seek insight and further understanding and never be afraid to explore another perspective.
