Hello world. The following was written 10/12/2017.
I had a conversation with a brother yesterday about happiness and Truth. The following was the outcome of that conversation.
A brother states, “Whenever I get too happy, something bad always happens. And whenever it seems to me that life is about going to be smooth, something chaotic often happens.”
My response, “Have you considered yet that the happiness you thought you had was not real? For if and when chaos erupts, if happiness is real it would not be effected by it. This loss of happiness would be an indicator that something is not in alignment with Truth. The inner conflict being brought to the surface within you is asking to be looked at and questioned. A value is being placed on the valueless. This loss of happiness seems more like a loss of inner peace to me. It is also showing a judgment being held.
When chaos erupts the flow of life, it is being used as a catalyst for the growth of the Individual and Humanity as a whole. An opportunity is being provided for growth and healing on a large scale for all concerned. When chaos erupts we have been taught to judge it as a bad thing. Yet, I am shown that everything is of benefit. Nothing has ever gone wrong. Everything that is happening is perfect for the growth and healing of all of Humanity. All is for our benefit. Even the darkest of moments is of benefit to us. It shows us in those moments what we do not want to experience. It allows us to choose something different that resonates more lovingly within us instead.”
A brother asks, “Thank you so much for detailed reply. Please advise some tips to cope the situation and how to instill alignment with truth.”
My response, “All healing starts within. One must be willing to turn inward and begin questioning all they have been taught to believe in. I do mean all too. One must be willing to look at every life experience they have had since birth and question their perceptions and beliefs about them. The journey inward is one of looking at the experiences of life and questioning how we perceived it and judge it to be whatever it is. This turning inward is also a journey of learning Self Reliance.
When you turn to others and the world outside of you, all you get is more and more chaos, pain and suffering. We are taught to seek the answers out there in the world. That is part of the lie, the illusion. Taught we are victims of the world we think we are perceiving. What we are doing in any given moment is judging. We are taught to judge every single thing and Being around us. To filter our interactions through a judgmental system of rules, laws and prohibitions taught to us by man. When going inward we remove those filters and are able to see beyond the curtains that have been placed before us. The curtains or illusions of the lies we are taught to believe in as being real.
I learned to turn inward on my journey. To stop listening to, watching, reading and blindly believing whatever was being placed before me. I began to turn inward and question everything I witnessed and believed. I began to look below the surface and see the games being played behind the scenes. The controlled manipulations and manufactured chaos that was being created to get a reaction out of me. To get me to do, say, think and believe whatever it is they, the authority, are wanting me to, that will help push their agenda to control me.
I willingly began looking at what was happening within me and around me and started to see patterns repeating themselves. People mimicking those who were around them or came before them without questioning why they were doing so. Recognizing my own experiences were a repeat of the things they had experienced and never questioned. Instead they repeated the pattern believing this is just how things are meant to be done. It is the system and this is the way it is. No one before us has questioned this way of being, learning or teaching. All have accepted it blindly, following those things being dictated to them by those who came before them. All of this was done because no one had chosen to question what was being said, done or told to them. May I suggest you begin questioning your experiences and those things you believe and think you know as being the Truth you were taught to perceive?”
My brother responds, “Thank you for guidance. It seems you are suggesting this too: “If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.” ~René Amandine~”
My response, “Not necessarily brother. To question is not to doubt. It is more to discern Truth from fiction. Doubt tends to beget fear and uncertainty. Questioning can create a feeling of conflict within when an answer is given that does not match what is believed in. Yet when willingness is applied to consider the answer given, a peace enters as what was believed in is let go in exchange for the Truth that is realized. The Truth does not create fear. It gives one peace.”
It is now time to begin our inward journey my brothers. It is time for us to stop externalizing and start internalizing. To stop seeking the answers out there in our brothers and in the world. To start looking within us and begin questioning all we have been taught. For the very peace and sanity we seek is within us if we are willing to look within and begin questioning the chaos being handed to us.
Blessings on your journeys my brothers. Hugs and love. You are loved. I love you.
