According to Webster Online the definition of defragmentation is as follows:Defragmentation: to reorganize separated fragments of related data on (a computer disk) into a contiguous arrangement.
The word contiguous called out to me, so I looked it up as well:
Contiguous: 1 : being in actual contact : touching along a boundary or at a point
2 of angles : adjacent 2
3 : next or near in time or sequence
4 : touching or connected throughout in an unbroken sequence
When one observes nature, and it's unfolding, we can with the naked eye detect a fluidity, where a long chain of organisms are linked together to sustain the ecosystem as a whole. With a peak through a high powered microscope, we discover another world that is made of billions and trillions of particles, that are bouncing off of each other in unison, to create you and me.
In a fragmentary state, one is nothing more than scattered pieces. Your existence, your life's unfolding, and the world arising around you, are nothing more than a sequence of random acts unfolding in a universe of chaos.
Our minds, instead of allowing a fluid flow of information, creativity, and inspiration, instead becomes a frantic 'thought stacker'. In this fast paced world, the time to sit, and arrange our minds, seems to be a luxury, a commodity. It should be a necessity. It is essential to Live life, and not just exist in it.
To sit, and observe our mind, it's whereabouts, and clean it out, as disk cleanups are recommended before hand, is essential for a productive unfolding. To treat the mind as tool, as a computer processor, also eases the detachment from it. Through this detachment the ability to observe our inner world, the thoughts and emotions arising, and sort them out, is taken on from a more objective perspective.
Stand still.
Observe where you are in life.
Link together all the layers of your inner experience.
Drop the resistance.
Allow each working layer to fall in it's proper place.
From here, you are no longer a victim of life getting thrown random events that make no sense. You are now, a character watching your own story unfold, and every moment is an opportunity to unravel, to grow, to put more pieces of the puzzle together.
When the idea of the mind being a harddrive/processor came across, it immediately ran through my mind and in that moment I felt the struggle to not only store the information, but also in recalling it. Leaving the mind loaded with useless data and half-organized memories uses up precious space. Click defrag, close your eyes and let it out.
