Learning to laugh at myself!

  . . . and the judgments that keep good people apart! The world and its people are littered with the debris of falsehoods; the divisions that have sprung up from them are vast. Yet, there is a way to bring these beliefs and layers of understanding together . . . to live peacefully in the same world. There is no need to give up personal beliefs for those of another, but you can allow them to be unique individuals using compromise and understanding as keys. One topic that causes such division and mythical hatred is the idea of our importance in the scheme of eternity. The religious viewpoint is that the is one life only. Coupled with time is precious , it allows followers to experience life through this lens. Another viewpoint, that we have had many lives , is coupled with the belief that we get to have second chances , so forgive and try again. If we were to ask what the differences are  . . . we would expose layers of misgiving and dis-information that swirl around the taver...

  And becoming aware of the rules matter . . . The first thing we have to do is to perceive reality correctly, if we are to become proficient in navigating it. Yes! It does take navigating and by my articles it will be abundantly clear that I am not writing about normal everyday issues and how you are to take care of the bandages that hide the wounds or abscesses beneath the skin. Those are not my concern but what I am writing about are the layers that produce those wounds and how to heal them; the impact that creates those abscesses and how to, not only heal them , but never manifest them again. In the many layers of the human dilemma there are choices that you may not be aware of. If you want to be soothed then there are brilliant writers, councilors and healers that are very good at what they do . . . my knowledge embodies the templates of reality – the blueprints – and this is where the building blocks of your life can be changed to have an eternal effect upon you and those aro...

As fast as what the world is changing . . .   So too, are we being asked to make the adjustments to the way we see ourselves. Self image is a minefield of do’s and don’ts, how to’s and how not to’s, who should’s and who should not . . .  where do we begin ? A human being must match their environment and when it changes, they have to move with it by being fluid and open to its flow. The way in which this environment is assembled is changing, new rules, laws and ways of being, are pouring into life. The landscape of this new world that is emerging is demanding that we redefine ourselves or we lose ourselves in the process. Our kid’s schooling is changing, the banking and financial, societal and how close we are allowed to get to our neighbor . . . looks very different to what it did a decade ago. A decade ago, we had no thoughts of placing our personal bank under a microscope to determine if it had our best interests at heart –  now we do ! A decade ago, we never considered...

  And I need a stable foundation to call home. What we need most when the foundations of our childhood, belief systems and core principles have been shaken to the point that they can no longer support us anymore - is understanding (knowledge). One would imagine that another belief system would be the way to go, but contrary to that idea lie’s the betrayal, heartache, despair and disbelief with that kind of loss. The transition away from a religious ideology and belief system can be devastating to any human, with the experience akin to the life-force being sucked out of them, or a personal disorientation away from what matters. This cannot be helped, but what can make the difference, is learning to recognize it, understand the process and why it is happening. It is crucial to realize that nothing is wrong, although it feels as if the floor has fallen away and you are expected to fly with wings, which you do not know that you have. The best analogy that suits this experience i...
