We will never achieve a relaxed and composed state of mind while we look at life through our perspective mirrors. I gave many examples earlier how our perceptions came about and how it still forms the basis that control almost every moment of our day. It impacts on every person and every activity that we involve ourselves in. We are expected to remain a person that add value to society notwithstanding the avalanche of negative news and continues energy sapping setbacks that we are frequently faced with. We must also manage the endless flow of thoughts, emotions and feelings that rush through our heads like trains in one of the biggest train stations in the world. We are slap bang in the middle of an ongoing fight for survival. Most people are only three months away from living out of their cars if their income suddenly dried up overnight. The world became a swirling toxic pool of billions of people that feed off each other. Everyone is trying to do something that will provide an income. Some sell or buy stuff, some provide services, and then there are those that paint or bake bread or become prostitutes in an attempt to obtain funds to feed their families. We today have billions of people that live out of each other’s pockets. We are constantly under pressure. We are today the slaves of a financially driven system that favour only a very small percentage that sits at the top of the pyramid of life. A lack of financial resources constantly hangs over billions of people’s heads daily. It is ironical that there are so many churches and temples where it is expected of us to on top of the load described above find the right church, God and saviour or get toasted when we finally lay down our tired heads for the last time. There are new movements around that preach about enlightenment and meditation. It would appear as if the insane expectations of you and me reached epic proportions. It is crazy and absurd to think that there is a God that apparently has a lot of compassion for us that will expect us to pass his ultimate test (when we die) or get toasted if we fail to make the grade. We today stagger under the weight of survival daily. I want to give you some amazing news. I want to tell you that God is not a white man with a white beard that hide somewhere in the clouds that watch every move you make like a paranoid peeping tom. God wants nothing from nobody. God is a force and we are part of that force. We are all one. Not a single myth of the vengeful Gods depicted in the so-called holy books is true and valid. We are looking at myths, legends and stories told from generation to generation that gradually took on an image of the word of God. All the pressure I explained above drove us like frightened sheep into caves of ignorance. We developed a self-defence system while we were busy evolving. This system is based in the spirit of RESISTANCE that cling to us like a cloud of pollution. The harder we try to achieve what is expected of us the harder we fall. We can find happiness and peace of mind if we learn to discard the RESISTANCE that we display daily. We can remove most of the pressure when we stop trying to be perfect. We are evolving beings and will in time grow into peaceful composed beings that live their lives one moment at a time.
You might by now have a strong desire to learn the magic formula that will neutralize the toxicity mentioned above. My friend you must stop RESISTING life and the illusion that we live in. Stop trying to impress others. Stop reacting to everything and everyone that don’t see things the same as you do. Immediately stop judging everything and everyone. Become detached and observe without criticizing or evaluating people, places and events. You will be astounded when you discover the massive volume of energy you disperse daily on pure bullshit. Take the control back of your thought process. Do not allow your ego based mind to run your show. You are the boss. I will continue this series tomorrow.
