Honestly. Daily/Working life is stressing out many good souls.
I find it amazing how people can’t see the simplicity of it all.
I started out writing on this topic because I found myself explaining to the better half her fear and self doubts at work and play are self discriminating and self negating and how by just communicating her fears and asking for help will clear away most of her present stress and worries.Allowing myself to revel in her pernicious problem enabled me to extrapolate the reason the media news today are always about strife and power plays:
Every capable man & women alive just wants to save face by stroking their EGO and prove they know better and the general public should listen to only their idea… no one else.
Be it in economics, religion, politics, social studies …you name it.
They all visualize the emancipation of thought that they can offer you, if you would just listen to them.
Huh?
A real oxymoron, if ever I saw one J
I often wonder if it’s a desire to hold on to their beliefs–religious, scientific, intellectual or otherwise–because they think that’s their identity and afraid without that anchor they know … nothing else?
If so, you can surely see how easily swayed humanity would be.
(Which it is, isn’t it? :)=
It’s true though. What I see as a reader throughout the world is a consistent set of ego pampering deliberations on an individual level that is evident in every strata of society in every geographical location.
Try to tug at someone’s belief and watch their identity get yanked with it.
How did we get to identifying with our ideas and beliefs as if they were ourselves?
This has been a point of discussion for eons. If you go back to Plato you’ll get the classic illustration of illusion versus reality and why the cave dwellers are the way they are.
It just doesn’t register until someone has had the experiential breakthrough.
That doesn’t happen until they start to question their existence and learn to quiet their mind..
To tell the cave dwellers there’s a whole other True reality if they’d get out of their “ stupid little self bubbles “ and connect with the sunshine of Universal Truth/ Love is still met with the same antipathy as it always has.
To them, these shadows are it. They always were and always will be.
I think so. Ergo, I am.
Please understand that Truth negates everything the ugly ego stands for. You can tell a person’s ignorance by their grip on their ego.
Defensiveness, stubbornness, unrighteous anger, prejudice, arrogance, intellectual pride, lack of humor,
These are all symptoms of self-reinforcement, when that’s the last thing in the world you want to fortify.
In truth do I tell everyone, what a relief you will find when you realize there’s nothing to defend! Really,brothers and sisters,men and women, idiots and savants….we all live to die.
It’s the experience TODAY that matters, and none matters more than when you are sharing and giving LOVE.
But alas, everything in this shallow manipulated world system of false shadows is intended to reinforce ego, self, separateness. What’s the biggest concern of most people?
Their image.
They’ll literally ask people to take a knife to their body to carve a better figure, spend their every waking hour studying magazine and television images, and even hire expensive advisors to help create the right image.
Memang Gila, but its “normal” in a world based on selling images.
Even more so this image infatuation affects all of life’s choices and most of all the design of the character and personality.
We learn language and self expression habits based on wanting acceptance of this image we think we need or want to be.
So whoever controls the mass image machine, as in mass imagination, is now in control as much as people are attached to this fabricated image of self.
That’s why we have to detach more than anything else.
Faith is a funny issue. So many say they have it when they don’t.
Faith knows…or supposed to is. You automatically realize when you achieve it.
No self doubt. Can you imagine that kind of life,readers…… no second guessing anyone or anything.. no future planning needs…. Just surrendering to the God Consciousness in pure bliss.
Sure shit will happen.....but ask for direction and help (reduce the ego)...and you will receive it.
Please take a moment to re read the above.
Moving on, belief is even weirder.
You can tuck almost anything under the belief umbrella.
It’s about as vague a concept as you can get.
On top of that it’s terribly misused. “I believe I can fly” is a popular song refrain.
You do? Just don’t do like the kid on acid and jump off a building.
Do what our parents said and try to take off from the ground first.
Ah idiocy. All encouraged by the popular culture vultures.
When you know something you know it. It’s experiential. People just aren’t clear a lot of the time. The belief word comes to the fore for lack of clear understanding. The cool thing about real Consciousness is when you’re there, you just know. When you’re not, you temporarily “forget” and just need to get back to where you know.
I'm Digressing so let’s start over with what knowing is not, and what insecure belief systems foster.
What Knowing is Not:
§
§ -Screaming your “belief” system as loud, insistently and offensively as possible in order to forcibly convince others of your subjective persuasion.
§ -Building huge and multiple temples of worship and legions of hierarchical autocrats to give the appearance of institutional credibility, all at the cost of the subjects they are supposed to be “serving”.
§ -Living meaningless lives that have never answered, never -mind addressed the basic questions of who are we, where did we come from, and why are we here?
§ -Stubborn unwillingness to consider something may be wrong or limiting or that there’s another perspective to whatever belief they’re clinging to, no matter how “scientific”, “rational” or passionate the mindset.
§ …just to name a few…
Just let the bullshit go. Be who you truly are, know you’re fine just as THEY are, and revel in creation knowing we are eternal spirits having an earthly experience.
When you identify too strongly with your worldly projection you’re just asking for problems.
Yes, it is that cool.
But the entrapment is the challenge. We are trained to believe everything is "owned" by someone...property,assets,relationships,etc. Not only that but the very fabric of what you seem to see, hear and perceive are just a construct particular to this current experience on earth, but that there are forces manipulating it.
Ha! Am I complicating the already complicated?
No ?
Good !
§ Intuitive Knowing Is the Answer. Trust in your own heart.
§ Believe in yourselves
That’s how we’ve got to learn to think and operate.
Intuitively.
Intuition is defined as instinctive and unconscious knowing without deduction or reasoning. It is way beyond predefined belief systems and the shackles of the ego.
It’s also your best defense in a world at war with your soul. In the words of Lao Tsu:
The power of intuitive understanding will protect you from harm until the end of your days.
So called empirical knowledge supposedly based on scientific or academic fact is so much hooey. You can’t trust any of it. Oh, there’s truths in there, that’s not the point. It’s the abuse of truth that so permeates the supposed facts projected by the Powers That Be that’s the problem.
It’s all limiting, mislabeled, out of context and ceilinged off. Look out for that.
And stay conscious. It’s a challenge but a total rush when you get the hang of it. There’s a cost, but one you’ll pay eventually anyway.
For all he is credited for today,Lao Tsu was also a victim of politics,rumor mongering and idle gossip in his own life time but that didn't stop hundreds of millions men and women from studying his thoughts and practices for their own self fulfillment.
Everything is….karma ,baby.
Revel in the Love of the Truth! people are pigs and ingrates,anyways
Doesn't mean you have to be one too.
Karma,baby..and pass this message on, won’t cha!
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))000000000000000)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
PS:
Religion is like a penis…
It is fine to have one.
It is fine to be proud of it.
But please do not whip it out in public and start waving it around.
And PLEASE do not try to shove it down my children’s throat.
