The Sixth Sense
Some wisdom greater than myself defines sense as an ability to perceive, feel, or understand something. Perceive to notice/feel, an emotional sensation and understand, to have a knowledge of. One looks at a tree and by the grace of God, the bells and whistles of the mind (understand), heart (feel) and eyes (perceive) come together to relay all aspects of the tree into one big, beautiful image.
Human senses. Ah! Such wonderful attributes. Did you know that lurking in the bright white abyss of the spirit self lies the God issued, Soul wired, sixth sense of whimsey?
Often defined as a radical act of joy (imagine that, radically joyful) the word whimsey became a concept back in 1600 Europe to offer relief from a very rigid culture who needed respite from an extremely serious civilization. In those days whimsey meant one was unstable, even erratic. Thankfully, the word whimsey evolved largely due to literatures such as Alice in Wonderland (1862), The Wizard of OZ (1900) and Gulliver’s Travels (1726).
Think of whimsey as a sense, the sixth sense to help one find joy in a world of un-joy, light in a shadowy event like war or disputes; a lifeline in a world where depression and hate become visible. The best part: whimsey is free. In fact, each and every one of us is imbued with the sixth sense whimsey just like the sense to see, hear, feel, smell, and taste. One doesn’t tell their tongue to taste; it has already been programmed to send “sense messaging” to the brain. The sense of whimsey however, being a “spirit” sense requires a conscious decision to break out of a serious human mind and into the mind of spirit.
As Spirit-beings-having-a-human-experience and due to the physical, dense make-up of the human psyche and body, the human part of us is always in control; the spirit-self lies in wait for the human-self to plug into the spirit self, the self that is light-filled and wait for it, the joyful self. Sounds great, doesn’t it?
However, bringing joy to oneself and others is often a mystery for most. However, in Soul design fashion one can merely “tune” into their spirit self by practicing whimsey: finding the magic in the ordinary. Today’s picture is a great example of looking beyond the worldly, letting one’s imagination have free reign (I know…. scary) and then taking action to express the result. When I looked at my flowerpot’s expression, I saw a wild hairdo that needed eyes. Amazon delivered by request the eyes and I added them to the pot. I can tell you by the number of neighbor comments that joy has been delivered.
Unleash that sixth sense of whimsey before it dries up. Do something whimsical. If you’re not feeling “it” today, add being whimsical to your bucket list. Beware however, because bringing joy to the planet is the work of angels, you may never go back to world of un-whimsey.
