how is it that we continue to hurt people? time after time we witness our fellows reeking harm and doing heinous things to their neighbor. Do we do these things deliberately, unknowingly, or a little of both? Question: Who do we share our lives with? ...other human beings. we at first connect, intellectually, physically, emotionally. A much deeper level follows, but not always. Somewhere, over time, the enigmatic connection that bonds us together, has been lost. In other words it short ciruited, either through our indifference, neglect, anger, resentment, frustation, greed, ambition, money or other issues. What's the point of making the effort to pursue relationships and assume relationships? There are all kinds of abuse in this world we inhabit--physical, verbal, mental. So much anguish and hardship we endure or bring upon ourselves. Is it quite possible that two people were "destined" to be together?
That circumstances came into play that were no accident, but on purpose? Or was it just physical attraction, a random act of coincidence? In the beginning of a relationship the stars are shining, no problems, everything is "coming up roses." But then, something happens, something changes. In the beginning, our commitment to one another is solid, we have no doubts, everything is perfect. But this attraction is only the beginning of a life-long journey back to where we originated. Before we were born. A reincarnation of the soul. The fly in the oitnment is that we just cannot grasp, wrap our heads around, this thing called "Life" and what it is really all about. Life just kinda unfolds over time, with achievements, success, joy, sorrow, happines, tragedy. We all can agree that nothing in this existence is 100% perfect. So why are we here? Did we wish to come here? Did we make a pact with someone before we said "I do", He punched our ticket and out we came, naked, cold and crying? Or did we have no choice and are here, reluctantly, at best? It's going to take time before all of us on this planet realize that we are not enemies of each other. that when you draw us down to our basics, we all want the same things, acceptance and peace. The opportunity to be happy and live in harmoney with one another. I'm really getting tired of witnessing so much violence, and feeling such a loss of empowerment over who we are and what we want, and the nagging feeling that I'm being controlled like a puppet on a string. We are all co-inhabitors on this planet. But the universe' education which is available to all is a stumbling block for many as they cannot get past their need for conquest. We all need to embrace the oneness of us all as our next step in the higher evolution of self in order to embrace our earthly existence as we all draw closer to the One Source who created the universe.
Life is recondite and cryptic. Its equation is of the deepest sagaciousness. Pick up the Book on The Quantum Physics of Life. Its mathematical formula is constantly unfolding around us, enveloping us, yet we are completely unaware. Random acts of kindness, instantaneous occurrences out of the corner of one's eye, subtle music wafting on the breeze, the muted figure of a loved one staring at you from the edge of the forest. So many of us are struggling with difficulties; afllictions, addictions, and many of us get off to a really bad start. Alcoholic parents, sexual abuse, poverty, the constant ingestion of hate and fear from all sources. "Can you ever do anything right??? "You're a no-body, a nothin," "you'll never amount to anything." etc. How man of us have heard those very words? What makes the difference between one person rising above his situation and another one succombing to it? "Life's" circumstances can lead us to very destructive behaviour. We join gangs, beome drug addicts, criminals, somehow losing our ability along the way to make good and positive decisions. We lose hope and there is no one to guide us. Somehow we think we have made it in society and gloat on this fact.
How does someone break out of this cycle? Once deeply involved, the odds of doing so are virtually impossible and can come with great risk. But with great risk comes courage. It is heartening to see those who have hit rock bottom turn around and point their own in another direction. One that leads to wholesomeness, well-being and a sense of accomplishment.
So, why are we here? Was it our decision? Or did someone make it for us? Was it pre-ordained? Being that I believe in reincarnation I also believe in karma. That old saying, "what goes around, comes around." We are here because of our past decisions, poor judgement, hurtful behaviour and now we have another chance to make "amends." We're here to fix past mistakes and ascend rather than descend. Of course, we cannot rule out free will and if we choose to ignore those negative habits, we are only buying another ticket on the same train.
Are we man or woman enough to see "this life's process through to the end?" Or, are we going to just give up along the way?
It takes an enormous amount of courage to deal with the events and disabilities that are thrown our way. This life is full of obstacles. Every time you turn around you are tripping over something or picking something up or straightening something out.
I wonder how it is elsewhere? Are there any obstacles? Do we just exist and play our flutes and dulcimers, dance around all day and constantly joke with one another?
Actually I don't think so.
I believe that we graduate with a certain degree...we either pass or fail. Then we are assigned to a particular classroom with a very savvy teacher who will help us overcome those deficits we couldn't overcome while down here or refused to deal with.
If we all knew, with certainty, that we would be repeating school someplace else, because we were either too stubborn, to stupid or just plain evil, I believe that this would make a big difference as to how we treat one another, while here at home.
After all, this is our home. Do you see some place else, hangin out in the night sky, with all the prerequisites for life as we know it?
I'd say the answer is no. Then don't ya think we better dwell on this concrete fact and that we all be assembled here on this small planet (whether some of us like it or not) and at least try to get along?
Am I asking too much?
Are we that incapable as a species that we cannot grab hold of and hang on to something as beautiful as living together harmoniously without resorting to blowing each other up?
I hope the message I am trying to convey, in this post, reaches....some one
