Incarnation seems to be an experience of trying to learn deeper, more subtle lessons without looking directly at them. What swamps our minds in waking reality are a never ending array of details: all manner of discrete concerns about the character involved in the incarnation. Whether it's work, relationships, diet, whatever it is, we seem wired to assign these concerns priority. These details distract us, wrap us up in their urgency and demand our attention on them as first class citizens of our consciousness. Of course there are details that inspire catalysis, but what amazes me are the details that seem to have no meaning, details that seem to exist as filler to occupy our minds.
But are these details important, and if so in what way? How do we relate to them in a way that balances them with what really matters? What might be the function of these details when they seem to simply get in the way?
