Truth

There are wheels within wheels everywhere. If you try to look for the starting point of anything today, you are likely to lose your mind! You can never reach the root.

Journalists are busy trying to unravel the truth about the webs of lies around political scenarios, the Bollywood gossips and sensationalizing the private lives of well-known people!

Every day, there are new stories about people, almost as if there are multiple people residing within one person.

How boring and humdrum our own lives must be, to even think of indulging in such discussions!

Although, some of the journalists -turned podcasters do open our eyes to some authentic news, at least on the surface if not in-depth.

Of course, the more people who know you, the more trouble there is for you! Fact!

Yet, the publicity machinery is more active today than ever! Fake / exaggerated / misinterpreted “news” have become common place. The more “infamous”, the more talked about. Others may well be relegated to being “squares”.

What a world!

Vibration Energy

Recently, I was amused by a definition of “masks”. It said, sometimes, people smile at you with their eyes behind their backs! A creative way of defining duplicity.

If we are not vigilant, the smile can mislead us big time.

I don’t know why it is so necessary to wear a mask in the first place. Why is there so much to hide? Would it not be better to be more simple and forthright? Evidently not!

I was good enough at math to know 2 and 2 makes four. Today, it may add up to an irrational number!

Today, simple math does not work. There are complicated calculations at work and the brain is overloaded, not to mention the heart and other affected chakras.

All these videos that tell you things under “wisdom” only teach you to fear people and isolate yourselves. If you are constantly being suspicious of who means what, and who is out to “get” you, how do you live a productive life?

If we notice, all of us have a lonely space within us already. And we are complicating our lives by desperately seeking crutches to fill that space. It is of no use! Crutches are, at best, a short term illusion.

The only thing that works is your vibrations with the universal energy. It is protective. It is light to dispel all darkness.

Apart from our karmic pain, we have the pain of integrating our shadow side with our light side.

People who embark on this journey face several challenges, those of the death of the old and beginning of the new. AND isolation! Because people still have the image of the old “you” in their minds to judge and criticize. You can’t win. There is a huge price to pay here so, many just live on the way they know how, as comfortably as possible.

Frustration

By and large, we humans judge more than love. I guess we are so needy that we want to be around those who give, who anticipate our needs and dedicate their lives to each other. Something most naturally expected from certain close relationships more than others. But what is forgotten is that whatever roles we are given to play inevitably come with challenges, sometimes ones that can take all our strength to endure.

As we are coping with our own grief, disappointments, and frustrations on one side, no one is really concerned but ourselves. And if we let that mask we wear in public, slip, we are in trouble! All kinds of speculation and judgement is thrown at us.

This is the human being of today, that is building artificial intelligence today, to emphasize the need for something external to come through as an aid for us. Who have moved away from everything natural, especially our divine collective consciousness that holds complete knowledge.

The vastness of the soul is only being researched by science now, whereas India knew it eons ago.

Read about Indian, even Egyptian civilizations and we see evidence of the spirituality of humans, the knowledge they possessed and the relationship to righteous living as the hallmark of divine connection. Are we on the wrong path then, or are we on the inevitable path of evolution? Wherever it takes us and to whatever consequences we face in the bargain.

Counselling

 

Compassion and Kindness

Sure, go out and help people. That’s what life teaches due to mutual connectivity. But don’t deplete your own energy while doing so. Your energy is meant for your journey. And you require it regularly.

This is what empaths do. Help and move back. Someone who feels the pain of others but does not internalize it. Instead, helps in every which way to alleviate suffering.

Compassion and kindness are off shoots of empathy. Most important is balance though. Remember the principle of always wearing your own oxygen mask first. Keep enough oxygen for yourself.

Isolation

 That feeling of isolation when you realize no one is really understanding you and your explanations, however genuine, are falling on deaf ears! That you may well be on a different planet speaking in an alien language.

But, please don’t take it as an offence or a slur on you. It is really not. For the most part, today, people’s minds are buzzing so much with their own issues which they are trying hard to conceal or deny, that genuine communication or empathy for that matter, eludes them.

They are thinking west when you are talking east. It would be funny if it were not sad!

It has become the norm to excel in small talk “feel good” talk, as if the sugary words stem straight from a glass of alcohol.

Sometimes, it is better not to have too much awareness or understand too much! It kind of spoils you for superficial fun. Nonsensical interaction which is not designed to make “sense” in any remote way!

Our energies are spent more in beating about the bush than take a straight path.

But, when it concerns a large number of people, I guess, salutary changes in the minority may not be visible unless many begin to adapt.

So here we are, each one of us believing that we are on the right track but the tracks run parallel and so does communication become a casualty because there is no meeting point.

Communicate with yourself instead. Smile at these instances of being a chalk against cheese or cheese against a chalk! It’s all the same ultimately. And anyway, the focus was always YOU.

So, you can find yourself, your reality, your peace within, and stop wondering about anything else.

Stimulation

As we advance in age, you know what becomes a moot question? That how many years have we tried to come up to other people’s expectations, to get that much craved for pat on the back to feel good and feel a sense of comfortable self-esteem?

And what does it take to come into our own as yet undiscovered space which belongs only to us? Rejected by none other than ourselves in exchange for temporary happiness handed out by others. The crumbs of happiness that actually had such a short life and yet, we never quite understood this and kept craving for many such short lives.

But the day we realize the happiness on reaching and discovering our own space, it appears as the most beautiful garden, the most complete and the most joyful! Coming into our own! Feeling so wholesome that there is no need for any external validation or stimulation to fill any empty spaces within. Because, you see, there ARE none!
