Distractions

The things we do to distract ourselves on a moment to moment basis. Most of us use distractions to keep from having to think or feel pain or have to deal with tasks at hand. Then there are those of us that try to get rid of the distractions because we want to deal with them so that we can move forward but the distractions that we have previously created are always there struggling against us. Either way there is no balance. When our lives feel upside down more than likely there is no balance. We continue to allow distractions to take us away from the thoughts and emotions that we must let ourselves feel and work through. We give in because its easier than fighting against the world around us until eventually we stop trying to feel at all and just let life keep running us over. We release that voice inside us that tells us to work through our journey and hold our pain in. Our hurts, our losses, our anger. It all builds up and without release we become unbalanced, depressed, empty, and feel alone. The classic feelings of many in todays society. We sleepwalk through each day and just stick to our everyday distractions. We do what is expected of us by the world. Like drones we wonder through our day to day tasks. Running here and there, going to work, going to church, saving for that dream house, watching the news, discussing politics, joining the pta. All the while forgetting our soul purpose on this earth. The journey of spirit. Even when we go to church, the majority are just doing it because its what they've been taught is right and true. Its what someone else decided you should do, feel, and believe. Very few actually stop and really look inside for the answers they seek. Because to look inside is scary. Full of fear. Full of anger and sadness. To find the answers your looking for you have to stop letting your mind be cluttered with the mundane, look in your heart, and heal your wounds. Our wounds are like scar tissue clouding our true self. Covering up the spirit inside of us. We walk through our lives using good old common sense. The mind. It is a terrible thing to waste. But what about our hearts. Isn't that what truly matters? Everyone says: "Make sure your using your head." I say: "Use your heart" "They" tell you to use your head and not your heart because once you start using love to make your decisions you will no longer need them. We wouldn't need a government if we all thought and made our decisions with love. We wouldn't need the psychiatrists, the doctors, the police. If you want love then you must act with love. If you want peace, then you must act peaceful. How does our world truly believe that we will achieve peace with war? When you ask that question, does it really make any sense to you? It doesn't to me, and never has. Its just another distraction to keep us from seeing the truth and the real reality of life. We are all on a search here. A search for meaning to our lives. The God within is the meaning. The infinite power within us made of energy, vibrations....pure love. Pure light. As easy as it can sound....finding that balance, that love, that power...is overwhelming. You must go against all that you've been taught about looking outside for the answers and look in your own heart. The teachers, the priests, your own parents, can only teach you what they have been taught to teach you. It is your responsibility to seek the truth. Put the distractions aside, release the pain, breathe, and find your truth. Namaste.
