Force – Blog No. 3

spfol0458In order for military force to be eradicated from this world, all the countries on the planet would need to be trustworthy.  They are not.  Can you imagine North Korea ever opening up and becoming trusting of the rest of the world?  You cannot trust them to be open for one minute.  They are paranoid.  Scared of watermelons.  And that is dangerous; it makes for reactionary, trigger-happy.  Certainly they are not the only ones who do not trust in this world.  In fact I do not think any leader trusts any other leader, really.  I am not surprised.  Each has their agenda to try and squeeze into the Universal schedule and it would seem that when time is measured, as it is, there is no space in the calendar for charity.

The best loyalty is that which develops through ongoing mutual trust.  You cannot force loyalty.  You cannot employ fear and expect to be shown loyalty.  Ever.  Fear may force allegiance, but it cannot force loyalty.  At base-level, loyalty is what you want.  It is what you need in this life.  When it comes to loyalty, tread gently, respectfully.  You are working with heart.  You cannot force your heart.  It should be said that a forced hand is not a happy hand.  It may do your bidding, but it will not move to save you when the tables are turned.  And believe me, the tables are always turned.

A forceful spirit is not what to aspire to.  Please remember, spirit is gentle.  Unless it gets extremely angry.  Let’s keep the collective spirit, calm.  Understand that because of the way we have all built Earth, force is occasionally necessary – to explain in this day and age to a mindset warped by violence – that violence is not acceptable.  After countless experiments it has been established that this is the only effective measure (with the majority, the masses) in getting a violent mindset to stand down.

Blame – Blog No. 31

FingerPointingThe very first thing you need to understand about blame is that it is a waste of your time.  It is absolutely pointless.  Do not weaken your standpoint in life by whining about who did what.  You allow what happens to you to happen to you.  Understand this.  Take accountability, do not lay blame.  The power in taking accountability will make itself apparent in your everyday.  Be proud of who you are, what you believe and why you choose to do what you do.  Taking accountability is empowering.  It is not a punishment.  It is standing up and saying, ‘Yes.  That was me.’  That is self-awareness.  Self-belief.  Recognition.  Have faith in your actions, your (mis)deeds, your subconscious striving for actualisation.  The striving keeps us alive and faith in yourself is never wasted.  You must take accountability for your thoughts, too.  I would like to point out that it does help – both yourself and others – if you would add to your statement of fact, ‘… and my reasons for doing said such and such, were …’.  Give reasons willingly.  They help with clarity.  I have learned that in most instances it is a waste of time to hide your justifications.  We all have that painful desire to justify our existence.  It’s there.  It is a part of wanting to be understood.  We would all like to feel understood, it’s a deep-seated need.  How many people have you trusted with your insides?  We cannot know someone or understand them until they have shown us their insides.  That is how it is.

Remember that taking accountability is not taking responsibility.  Responsibility is a whole different kettle of fish.  It depends on your need to play the martyr – and we all have that tendency at times – as to how much responsibility you will take on that is not yours to carry.  Only carry what is yours.  You must understand that you are not responsible for another’s reality.  You are not responsible for the illusion they are living.  You are not responsible for their existence.  Until you can consciously penetrate another’s thoughts you are not in any way responsible for their thinking, either.  Know that.   A person’s choices are their’s alone and for those choices they will pay penalties or reap rewards when the time comes.  And the time is coming.  Soon we will find ourselves blending with the futures we have selected for ourselves.  It will be interesting to see who is happy with their lot and who is not.  Should you not be happy with how your future is going to look – given that its reality is based on your projections at present – then you had better start shifting your mindset.  That starts with realising who you are at this moment and being proud of the person you have become.  Know that personal pride is not a waste of time.  You did not get to where you are by accident.  Please remember that you are always becoming.  That is evolution.  That is going forwards, meeting your real self (time and again) – and reaching your full potential.  Reaching your full potential is what you are here to do.  So do it.

Acceptance – Blog No. 22

quote1The wise thing to do when faced with adversity is to accept it.  That is the first thing to do.  After you have accepted it, you can decide how to proceed through it.  Adversity is not averse to confrontation.  Learn to hit back at it.  I think resistance is the most common reaction when it comes to adversity.  Accept that you will resist it.  It’s natural.  Then watch it for a while, work out how best to penetrate its shell.  Adversity always carries heavy armour.  If you can see at the outset how to get beneath this armour then you will save yourself time and you will save yourself pain.  You will expose at its core its purpose – to challenge, strengthen you.  To bring you to a new understanding.  Adversity is a worthy adversary.  If you understand its lesson before it turns your life inside out then you can transcend its negativity.  It’s possible to rise above your trials while they’re happening.  This is a skill you can cultivate and you can put it to good use in your everyday.

Do you tend to your troubles with a dedicated mind or a mind distracted by every other thing?  The problem is when you are distracted by every other thing.  Troubles, when they come, like undivided attention.  It is important, however, that you do not give them undivided attention for too long.  Then they become bigger than they were when they arrived.  The challenge is to keep them from growing and escalating.  It takes mind control and a deep faith in the power you hold over yourself to receive adversity in good faith and prevent it from swallowing you whole.  Do not allow your mind to wander down dark alleyways all day, unsupervised.  Be aware of what you are thinking, when you are thinking it.   Keep the negatives in perspective.  They are a part of your day, that is all.  Do not allow them to be more than a part of your day.

Your mind is particularly helpful when it comes to mapping your actions, if you bother to ask it why it makes you do what you do.  I do believe in mind over matter.  I think the power of the mind should never be underestimated.  Not in adults, and most certainly not in our today-children.  Are you aware how fast their synapses are firing?  Their little brains are eager, ready for their world.  We need to trust that they have evolved, ready.  We need to defer sometimes to their judgement.  This world is theirs to inherit.
