Scratchy on the Inside .

Scratchy on the Inside .

When we feel an itch, we scratch it if we can or we grab a friend to scratch it for us . . .
. . . right?

But an itch on the inside is quite another thing altogether. At first, we do not recognise it because it comes through us, as a feeling coated by irritation. We receive the irritation part straight away and immediately assume that it is the other person or the wind, the bank account or even the hair that won't lie flat. But the feeling that lies lurking beneath that irritated surface is the signpost! 
That's just the beginning . . .
If we were to dig a little, without releasing an atomic bomb amongst those we care about, we would discover the feeling. This feeling holds atomic potential because it has a little payload of its own. Once we get into contact with the feeling of loneliness or emptiness or anger or terror or sadness . . .
and I can go on like a mad woman through the emotions, but I gather you get the gist?
Once we have established the feeling, we go another step into the turmoil and chaos and discover that there is a thought!
Yes, a thought!
We discover a thought that we had moments or hours or days or even months ago and we most likely had it so fleetingly that it is a surprise when we stumble upon it again. 
This thought is the little bugger - sorry . . . problem - which caused the internal itch in the first place.
Now, here comes the end bit!
This thought, with its cloak of feelings and fortress of irritation holds a power over you and makes you doubt yourself, dislike yourself, dislike others, harm yourself, stop caring and act irrationally.
Why?
Because - what you thought was so far removed from your Natural Living Positive Potential that it had to be contained behind a cloak and in a fortress! Your thought did not elevate you, love you, make the most of your potential, believe in you, support you and trust you.
It did the opposite -
It undermined you, distrusted you, tore you down, pulled you down, knocked the positivity right out of your journey and made you feel less than, bound, limited, unsupported and unloved!
And you did it to you!
So, the next time that you feel that itch or the scratchiness and irritation, stop and go look inside and find that feeling and peel it away and pinpoint that thought.
Then, take that thought and reverse it -
Yes - Reverse it!
If that thought is 'I am not good enough' then turn it into "I have always been good enough!'

  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...
