The dictionary's definition of the word, 'Never', is "Not ever; not at all; in no way under any circumstance or condition". Taking that in, my mind could readily envision the word, 'Never' (depending on context) epitomizing an abject state of immutable impossibities: A 'vacuum' where one's inherent creative impulses, including true Mindfulness, have neither time nor space to manifest.
All the while, as part of my 'Inner' (intuitive) perceptions of Life, there abides the radiant word, 'Ever', as in 'Everpresent' and 'Everlasting', along with 'Eternal'. In that vein, 'Mind' is a malleably integrated 'team player' along with Spirit, Heart and Form -- all parts of that One Universal Design that eternally creates Worlds upon Worlds -- including Ours! In that State of Union, I Am Mindfully One with You, Ever & Always!
Nowadays, when an internal irritation besets me over what I see, sense or judge as being an external 'problem', I immediately ask myself, "Why is That particular thing (or him or her) activating a negative reaction in me, and Not something or someone else?" Typically, it's because that specific outer element is 'mirroring' some inner discord presently active in Me! Well, Hurray then! For the 'Inner' (mine) is the one resonant realm where I can effectively encompass and enfold anything in the Universal Power of Love! And when I Let Love Radiate, consummate Peace abides!
My most acute awareness of 'larger assemblages' having permeated one's individual consciousness is actuated when a successful friend (or more likely a business associate in a 'leadership' position) voices a blanket statement that latently assumes that one's representation of nameless others. Examples: "I know I speak for all of us, in saying ..." , or "Like You, I think ..." That's when I'll often present a 'nod-less smile' of silent (yet not passive) neutrality.
