Thinking too much

Do you think too much? Do you come up with great ideas, but dont follow through with them because you gave it so much thought that you managed to think your self out of it? And then you ended back where you were originally, excpet worse; because when you were thinking about whether or not you should follow through with this amazing idea, you stopped living in the present. Through that thinking process, which you probably enjoyed - because you like to entertain ideas in your mind - you ignored all the joys that your present situation has to offer. When we do this for too long, we start to forget about how good our present situation is. The only way to enjoy it, is to dream of a better one! And bitch about this one!

And so we become dreamers and thinkers, who mean well, but grow increasignly less jovial about our life. We start to lose control and belief in ourselves, and we get to a point where we feel like our ideas will never become anything! Our hopes and aspirations will never become anything. We sit, stuck in a stale mate, never progressing, never ending a game of wishing. And this all occurs because of thought. But why does this thought occur? and stop us from mobillising?

Unfortunately in this society we are taught to think and not feel. Our educational system encourages decisions based on thought, and has little room for decisions based on feeling. For those of us who are truly the earths creatures, we are guided by our connection to the earth, and the feelings we receive from the universe. If your thoughts are ideas, and become easily made into a tornado of such, then you are placing too much importance on the thought process. Your ideas are beautiful. They are what makes this world shine bright, but you must remember that you never need to justify them. You must learn about your ability for inner knowingness, and always trust this, without needing further thought.

Our thought becomes the clouds in a beautiful blue sky. They clog up the beautiful clearness but fullness of that deep blue, and move in the way of the sun and its rays stopping its energy from reaching its home. Your life is that home, and you should not let those thoughts clog up and kill your life. Learn how to trust your inner knowingness.

Ambition and desire

As soon as we have personal desire and ambition, we isolate ourselves. We become focused on the goal, on the future objective, and put this before what is really important. I myself have done this on many occasions, put my work before my friends and family. I have felt many times that I need to work to keep my friends and family. The reality is that the more I put emphasis on my work, the further I am from my family and friends, and my soul wains every time. But every time, soon after I feel this burning desire to chase again, to give myself a goal, to get myself out of my situation and into a better one. I start to hate my situation, and bitch about the people in it, because I start to dream of better people in some distant world if I do this and this. Its this crazy cycle. I know that the pursuit is the devil in me, and I remove myself from it when it comes, but I always find myself coming back to it. Why?

Its not hard to come up with a few answers for this one. We are reminded every day of the possibilities this world has to offer us. We are taught to idolise famous people, sports people, models, musicians, which creates gaps between classes in society. We have the lower people, the middle, the upper middle and the elite. Everyone is reminded of the elite, and now in this prosperous society which is full of opportunities, we are told that anyone can achieve whatever they want. Anybody can do anything. You can be whoever you want to be! This is what the modern self help people are teaching to people. They say that you can model the habits and adopt the beliefs of people who have reached success and then you can be just like them - looked up to, respected, deserving, earning lots of money. Do we not see that this whole system is a giant trap!? Is it not designed to keep us wanting, to keep us moving up an endless scale, which leaves us forgetting about what is really important. Why is society set up like this? Why does society push away from friends and family, rather than bring us closer?

Well I suppose that from a functionality perspective, a nation of ambition would equal a nation of productivity. A nation of productivity has a good economy, can achieve more greatness in many things, which can build a reputation amongst other countries in the world. In other words, our society is programmed for unhappiness. Our society is founded on ego, where the best are rewarded and the worst are not. This is why everyone is unhappy. How many people do we know are truly happy and content with their lives? How many people feel at peace with their lives? I can sense sadness in almost every person I meet. Even when I go out socialising and people are at their finest, expressing themselves loudly and exuberantly. And yes, even the finest people, the intelligent and the successful, they too have these deep anguishes in side them. In fact, most of these figures may perhaps be the worst off, because they are the ones who have truly separated themselves from society. Often they have lived lives of chasing and dreaming, overcoming and backstabbing to reach their goals. They are the ones who are truly alienated. In some cases, the ones who truly have broad purpose, the true actors and true leaders, or musicians or sportsman, have realised that their talents/abilities are not theirs, they are merely gifts from God unto which that person is born to share with the world. For the truly talented, it will not be hard for you to remove yourself from your work and spend time with your family, because your work seems fairly easy for you. As long as you remember that your gift is not yours, it is Gods, your gift is not used for your personal achievement, but for humanity, then you will become closer with the important parts of this world, rather then farther.

Even when I say these words, my depth of feeling is to find my great talent. We all want to be talented and gifted don't we? The truth is that we are. We all have different streams of purpose. The less intelligent people will generally have greater capacity for caring and loving. These people, just by emitting this care and love to the world is a gift. Any one of these people who realise that this is their true gift, and devote themselves to this gift selflessly, will overtime receive recognition anyway.

Thankfully, society recognises good will. Us caring people tend to forget that it is a talent, because it is so easy for us, but we must remember that it is. We can often feel like we are unappreciated for what we do, and when we feel like this, we must firstly become aware, then secondly replace this feeling with joy, by realising that you are doing Gods work as he set it out for you. When people disrespect you, and or take advantage of your gifts, or your gifts have expired on that person (meaning that you have cared all you can care for this person, or you have said all you can say) you must be able to let yourself go from them. We are not here to save individuals individually, but we work together by spreading across the globe by putting our self in a place for some time, then moving on. Because when we leave, your message becomes very important for the learner. This is when they realise how it feels to have Gods touch of human selfless care and/ or wisdom be with them - when it is without.
