“Where” is one of the famous “W” words – Who, What, Where, When and Why.

“Where” suggest location. “Where are you going?” or “Where are my car keys?”

In the spiritual realm, there is no such thing as location. There is a part of you that can’t be located but is ever present. How’s that for a conundrum?

“Where is that part?” is a question subject to unending debate because there is no logical answer. That must mean that part doesn’t exist if it can’t be physically located as logicians would insist.

That piece of logical wisdom ignores that Chinese Medicine has been alleviating pain for thousands of years with acupuncture. In acupuncture, the practitioner inserts small needles into meridians along the body that can be illustrated on a chart. The problem is that these meridians cannot be located anywhere in the body, so they must not exist.

“Where is my spirit located?” Is a question that you will never answer, yet this spirit animates your body every day.

Even if you are a dyed-in-the-wool spirit denier, ask yourself this: “Where is my mind located?” When surgeons cut peoples’ heads open, they cannot find a mind, only a brain.

“Where?” is a practical question that engages our curiosity in helping us to determine a location, but again, no one has found the location of curiosity.

“Where?” is a waste of energy when it solely focuses on the location of a part versus usage of that part.

If you spend all your time searching, there’s no time for using. “But if I can’t locate it, how can I use it?” Pretend!

Give your logic a vacation and pretend there is a part of you that can’t be located but is extremely useful. This usage of your imagination (another part that can’t be found) is the source of all creation.

You can only access this part of you when your logical mind calms down and ceases its search. It’s from this part of you that all creativity flows – into a mind that no one can find.

The best answer to a where question I ever heard came from the founder of Transcendental Meditation, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. He was announcing that he was going to build a new center. A questioner asked where the money would come from. The Maharishi answered, “From wherever it is at the moment.”

We would all be more useful if we take time to remember this: Creativity doesn’t care about where.

All the best,

John
