There is space between what is seen outwardly (i.e., there in the outer environment) and — for most of us — there is space between what is considered the central controller (i.e., the “I”) and the other (controlled) thoughts. It may be, however, that there is no space between the so-called central controller and the other thoughts whatsoever. Correct perception would be the thoughts or images of the mind (including the thought of “I”) without the imagined space (of using them at a distance) that most people have (and “are”). A mind with less self-deception would function more accurately with less friction and conflict than would a mind full of falsities and concocted limited space. Asserting power and domination (inwardly), when it really isn’t there, may be one of the reasons why people assert power outwardly, trying to dominate over others (or other life forms) while not perceiving their true relationship with them. True relationship, which often involves real compassion, insight, and holistic seeing, is what negates limited space and superficial domination. So many of us extend outwardly what we are inwardly. So many of us take this inward separation, domination, and limited space and (also) utilize it to look outwardly. Indifference is often what then occurs. All thought is limited, but thinking that one is something separate from thought (controlling it) from some sort of inward distance… is much more limited.
Instead, we can transcend inner (false) conflict, transcend separation (that really isn’t there if one sees accurately) and go beyond mere domination and isolation. We can tear down the walls that separate and divide us. We cannot do that fully, however, unless we go beyond our primitive inner separations and fragmentary ways. We can do this. There is something magical and whole beyond limited inner and outer perspectives, beyond mere (absorbed) limited space and conflict.

There’s something so calming in your writing. It centers me, and is such an immersing read.
Beautiful flowers!
Thanks so much, bits! 🙂 Sometimes i feel like i’m writing for myself and that no one else is getting anything out of it!
As writers we all feel that way at times. There’s really no other way to write. It’s the truth of the matter that pulls readers into our world. Keep writing for yourself so others might know you, and the world waiting for them!💜
Your writing and photo is something magical! 🙂
Thanks so much, Sci! 🙂 As i said to bits (above), sometime one wonders if anyone’s getting anything out of this other than one’s self!
I hope those squirrels are not partying in your attic any longer!
I think if we enjoy what we blog about, then those who continue to follow us, do also. So keep up the good work Tom, and we’ll keep reading 🙂
All quiet as regards squirrels! Touch wood! 😉
great post with a touch of spring feeling, Thomas. Have a nice Sunday, we have sun, cheers Mitza
Thank you, Mitza! We have rain, and rain, and more rain! (But we need it!) 🙂
we had rain, rain, too, but today we have sun, sun, hehe
“There is something magical and whole beyond limited inner and outer perspectives, beyond mere (absorbed) limited space and conflict.” That is a new level of space! When or if that happens, will we even realize it. 🙂
Thank you for sharing your insights, Tom. Inspiring!
Thank you, Amy! 🙂
Yes, you will realize it. When the limited dissolves, all kinds of wonderful things happen… not ordinary things!

A look into earthly restrains, and short leased lives. Insightful!
