The Blanket Of Fear

ASLEEP AND NOWHERE TO GO . . .

What if it were really simple?
Change I mean . . .
What if all we had to do, was to awaken from a long sleep?

A sleep, where we covered ourselves with a blanket of fear . . .

What would life be like if we removed that blanket that has paralysed us and draped our senses with intolerable longing?

What if we could throw back the covers and discover that there is another world for us to enjoy and experience?
What if we could disentangle ourselves from the sheets of despair, desperation, depression and disaster?
What if we have been tucked in so tight, that often we cannot breathe, cannot move and certainly cannot even free ourselves?
What if we don't need a light on to dispel the darkness . . . or the monsters . . . because
we no longer believe in them?
What if we wake up and it is daytime and there is no darkness . . .
. . . no darkness ever again?
What if waking up were in our hands and all we needed was understanding and direction?
What if our dreams were all reminders of who we really are, when we are not asleep anymore?
Life without remembering who we truly are, can be a nightmare. 
We know there is something else, something more but we just can't put our finger on it.
We know that there is a goodness that is extraordinary,
We are sure that there is a place where only light exists,
And it is beautiful!
Change is about thinking out of the box and asking the right questions.

    We're comfortable with our fears; ironically, we've built security blanket of of them... The greatest fear is the fear of no fear, the fear of freedom, the fear of just being... because we've forgotten what it is like.

    I'm reminded of the woman who never moved from her couch in 20 years. She literally grew into her couch. It's like the blanket of our fears have grown into us.

  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...
