| The Mystery within... |
I continue to review my past years’ blogs for common threads
to weave together into more cohesive pithy ponderings on the lessons I find in
everyday living. The word “entrain” grabbed
me as I reread my April 4, 2016 blog titled “Snippets of Wisdom.”
Dictionary definition:
entrain 2 |inˈtrānenˈtrān verb
[ with obj. ]
1 (of
a current or fluid) incorporate and sweep along in its flow.
• cause or bring about as a consequence:
the triumph of a revolution was measured in terms of the social revision it
entrained.
2 Biology (of
a rhythm or something that varies rhythmically) cause (another) gradually to
fall into synchronism with it.
The word entrain has shed more light on why and how my
immersing myself in the beauty of the natural world guided me through the
toughest time of my life. Though it was
a dark and uncertain time it was also a synchronistic time of deep learning as
I struggled to find my voice and practice good self-care. I was swept along into the Goodness of nature
where the comfort of deep knowing graced me and kept me spiritually nourished. I never wanted to forget those synchronistic years
and it is why I recorded my experiences in “God Never Hurries.”
I am grateful to Linda Sechrist for the word “entrain” to
explain stem cell biologist Bruce Lipton’s work on Epigenetics--bridging
science with spirit. Reading that our
lifestyle, beliefs and perceptions can change our genetic expression and adjust
our genes to create either a functional or dysfunctional state of health was fascinating. But even more interesting was his premise
that as more and more of us learn to hold the intention for living a harmonic
life of love and peace, others will eventually “entrain” to that stronger
signal. Lipton’s discoveries make
Teilhard de Chardin’s invitation to “Trust in the Slow Work of God” an exciting
and joyous journey.
What if we could all entrain the best from one another—more
often?
