Revelation

Listen to your life, the right path will reveal itself.

Most of us sit, waiting, claiming we are listening and awaiting some sort of divine intervention - a revelation of biblical proportion. But are we actually hearing anything? Without decision, without a conscious choice to HEAR what is being said and not just listen, can we see what is right before our eyes?

Are the answers to our questions just within reach if we could only raise our arms to take hold?

In this time when we move so fast that breathing and walking are taken for granted... is it even possible to know which path to take? If we slowed down enough to make rational and appropriate decisions, would we see the world through new lenses? Would we see ourselves, perhaps, for the first time?

I was told that you can hear better if you look directly at the person speaking. For some reason, we are visual creatures - we think seeing is believing... and yet we do not see clearly.. we lie to ourselves, tell ourselves that in order to be happy, we "SHOULD" __________. The blank matters not - the important part is the should. If we create a life full of expectations rather than intentions, are we not setting ourselves up to be disappointed? Can we ever ALWAYS do what we should? Or, could it rather be that we should redefine "should" on a near-constant basis and learn how to avoid self-judgment. Is this enlightened behaviour? Or are we ignoring certain truths in order to locate "happiness"? And is there anything wrong with that??

May we be, instead, realizing slowly which "truths" we have told ourselves are actually lies and opting to remove ourselves from their deception, judgment, and misery?

IF I listen to my self, I am a walking contradiction. And I have the power, now to CHOOSE. pt. 2 :-)

I can CHOOSE to evaluate lie and truth, decide, reassess and continue to move forward. OR, I can choose to ignore my instinct, my guide and contradict myself causing dissonance between my true self and this person inhabiting my body. I strive to align them, make them one with each other. The power is mine... and noone else's. Not yours, not his, not a higher power. I am not powerless to change my life - in fact I owe myself... I SHOULD do what I need to do, find what I need to find and, at least temporarily, put to the side all things that stand in my way - INCLUDING myself if necessary.

Love,

M
