Life as a Gallery, Consciousness as Creator

I was jogging today and it was interesting to observe something that came to me. At times there are thoughts that arrive like words on a page. I’m not sure if you have that, most people do. then there are times when something that comes through as though from a source that seems of infinite intelligence. Beyond the mind it seems. I heard a voice that seemed to come from this space. It said ‘gallery’.
My interpretation of this was that as I looked at the world it was though I was becoming conscious of a gallery. Everything was like a piece of art, even my experiences. An observation. It felt as though my consciousness was the creator of these experiences.
A shift occurred in that I was no longer resisting the world around and within.

Often so many of us get caught up in and involved in the drama of life. Taking sides, this is good and that is bad. It’s like the entire world is created by many different artists each consciousness actively engaging the process of creativity in their own unique way. Life becomes this array of a virtual world of art pieces created in infinite different types of media. The funny thing is that we can never fully comprehend the full intentions of the artist that created these artworks.

We can feel the creations. We can sense them. The funny thing is we so often attempt to know them thinking that once we catergorise the experience and find words to define the artwork/phenomena that we want to grasp we imagine that we know it fully.

But what happens when we leave room for phenomena to be, as it is without rushing to imagine that we know all about it? Try for instance observing your world and become aware of the sounds around you. Become aware of the touch of what is closest to your body and the air around you. Is there a possibility that experience you are having now may offer something beyond your known comprehension?

WE often take for granted the world we see and assume that we know what we see, feel and experience.
What if we were to become the simple witness in the gallery of life?
