DANCING THE LIFE FANTASTIC
The
dance of life. I do it, you do it, every living
thing does it all around you at all times. We keep
on dancing until we get to the final dance of
death to prepare for our next performance in the
physical realm. The questions then are why do we
dance, when do we dance, where do we dance and how
do we dance? Each will be broken down individually
but the use of dance as a metaphor describes our
day-to-day linear existence in the clearest way
possible. Dance by definition is the interplay of
actions between one or more people in a rhythmic
motion. Dance in this sense is the flow of life
around us as we weave in and out of each new
experience, exchanging seemingly choreographed
moves with people and things endlessly. Dance from
a personal perspective is a synchronous flow of
coordinated movements Karra and I use to dance our
way through reality together. Even when I
accidentally step on her toes or she has to
correct my moves, the dance in retrospect always
looks seamless.
Why do
we dance? We dance because we have to. It is in
our cosmic DNA that we need to experience
physicality but more than that, it’s that we need
to experience it on this planet in this dimension.
There are so many other possibilities that we
could have found ourselves but this is where our
dance partners are and have been for so many of
our lives. Karma plays the tune and we keep the
beat. A moment is a movement that we feel called
to complete whatever it is life asks of us and we
of it. If the question then is all about cause and
effect, the real reason we dance is to get better,
simple as that.
When do
we dance? It’s not something that ever stops but
is rarely acknowledged as something we actually
do. The moves we make from moment-to-moment can
seem like a natural progression of events when
seen from the limited perspective offered by the
third dimension. As quantum mechanics becomes more
understood, a wider perspective is available to
see how the dance progresses. No longer should the
mundane aspects of life be taken as matter-of-fact
when we discover how science and consciousness are
closing in on each other. We are learning that
practice does make perfect and that seeing the
coming moves in our head beforehand prepares us
for the stage we create through that practice.
Where do
we dance? We dance everywhere. It is in answering
the phone, watching the TV, walking the dog or on
an actual dance floor. The music? It’s all around
us but not on a level that can be picked up
audibly, except sometimes. Often when attention is
brought to bear, one can find the synchronicity in
the sounds and the actions taking place all
around. We might find ourselves at the toughest
point of our career, the hardest test school’s
ever thrown at us, the worst breakup we could
imagine or a point so low, no way up can even be
conceived. These are the best times to dance. Take
a moment to recall your favorite song and give it
some time to work its way through your system. In
dance, we lose ourselves but also keep control,
this is a good way to approach any problem.
How do
we dance? It’s unique to every person. Some people
slow dance, some people rave, some people dance
with as few as people possible and some people
head for the mosh pit. As we age, the dance
changes as we change and our tastes change to suit
us in every stage of our life. Regardless of the
style, it is with a sense of wonder we must
consider the fact we even get a chance to dance at
all. While our moves might be completely different
from those around us on the dance floor, it’s a
very forgiving place and we may find that as the
music plays on, the crowd starts copying how we
dance and we may even start getting requests for
lessons.
Dancing in love and light
as one,
Russ and Karra
