How To Be World-Proof

How To Be World-Proof

A frantic day at the office or an exhaustive day at home with all the chores that need to be tended to and the dogs and cats need to be fed at the last minute. The rush of traffic and blowing of horns, the seven coffees suppressing the stress running through the body and the emails that have to be sent immediately. The timed onslaught of cellular activity and the screams of a boss who has no place even being on earth. 
The pull of the television for entertainment to escape the paradox of exercising versus yoga. The dash to yoga to avoid being late and the crowded room smelling of sweat and perfume, enough to intoxicate someone into an altered state.
The overbooked holiday and the getaway to allow all the work to be completed in silence and peace. The yelling of disgruntled shoppers and the horns blowing out their frustration amongst the people wearing earphones to escape the bombardment of thoughts.
The visitors and their expectations, obligations and insults, continuously mingled with fret over monetary concerns . . . a cheating spouse and the betrayal of a friend. The fight over children, who owns them the most and who cares the most, is convoluted with freedom and gifts. Freedom which comes at a cost as it comes with no responsibility, it only seeks to assuage parental guilt and shame. 
The scrutiny of friends and family, sceptical themselves, blaming and shouting, claiming and doubting and all the while pretending to be interested. The social imbalances of games played by those who have no interest in leadership . . . instead bought by politics and they carve the future?
The attempt at prayer and solace, meditation and stillness, if only to quell the need to jump off a precipice. Still, the need for chemical induced peace and the gluttony of foods that will all kill, because different groups say so. Careers which imprison and jobs which entrap, education which defines and titles which maim.
Almost there . . .
The schooling which numbs and the teachers, whose wings are clipped, by wingless drones and the teachings fabricated by those who lack an imagination. At least mingle it with some truth? The needles which are supposed to keep the body disease-free but ignore the dis-ease of consciousness. 
The aspirations of the religious, failing to bring heaven to earth, instead placing all others in a different camp and remaining exclusively the possession of a higher authority in the skies. The last but not the least, the cartoons depicting a two dimensional farce of happily ever after, whilst wars are provoked with the unlucky or the rich in resources.
There . . .
Finally - pointing true north and rejecting all the teachings which point in the opposite direction, to those which show the way!
Acceptance.Love.Allowing.Understanding.Patience.Trust.Knowing.Freedom.Discipline.

  And yet everything says otherwise . . . I will begin with a story that speaks volumes. Years ago I met a dog, who upon approach, always lay down and turned onto its back to show its belly. A very submissive action, and no matter how I approached that dog, I could not get it to stand to be patted or given a treat. I tried and tried over an over, adjusting my countenance, voice and body langauge . . . but nothing seemed to work. So I gave it some deep thought and decided to change my approach, and whenever I was in its vicinity I would go and sit in a chair . . . I did not go towards it at all. It did not take long before that dog would creep over to where I was and the same as before, it would throw itself on the ground at my feet. I knew that a small aspect had changed but it was not enough. So, I adjusted my approach again and when I sat in that chair, I would place my arm on the armrest and dangle my hand just enough over the end, so that the dog could see it.  Eventually,...

The Way of the Wise Soul

  And the paths ahead! The world is weary with information and concepts thrown haphazardly out into the public domain. One would assume that with all the words spliced together to form sentences thickened with colourful meanings, there would be a clear and direct way of smoothly navigating reality. But this is duality! Reality navigation is necessary. The obstacles, options, choices, and unique skills weave a path loaded with dichotomy and adventure. The routes through this reality are designed to go anywhere imaginable and without boundaries except for the limitations within the consciousness of the dreamer. Heavens? There are many. And hells? There are even more because they are manifested by creative minds. Going on an average of daily thoughts per person, we can safely say that it is easier to imagine the worst than the best. Just look around and listen to the voices! Why would the world be in its current position? Regardless of your beliefs about politics, religions,...

An idiot waiting to blossom

AN IDIOT WAITING TO BLOSSOM Like most idiots, the flower remains tightly bound to its current course and holds stubbornly to a divine procedure. It must remain tightly bound and closed to the world for an allotted time before it is signalled to open slowly.   Inside its complex being, there is held a kaleidoscope of colours, fragrances and beauty and the best kept secret . . . the ability to seed others just like it! The idiot in the same picture, does this slightly differently - Bound by time, as is the blossom, and sheltered from the world, as is the blossom, the idiot struggles and resists the natural divine procedure. From within the idiot bloom, there arises chaos and an intimate internal struggle - one half wanting to remain closed and unseen and the other, wanting immediate exposure . Both . . . unnatural. The idiot's struggle is both insecure and unsure, as well as ambitious and brave and whilst being natural ingredients for the right kin...
