What don’t they even know? Who doesn’t even know? Here’s what I am talking about. What if.. What if… Just what if the individuals that you perceive to have been the external cause of your suffering throughout your life or whom you feel may have been an instigator of sorts for the path of pain in your life what if they didn’t even know what they were doing when they did it?
True there are ways in which we create our own suffering through our thoughts and the psychological manifestation of this and also the physical at times manifestation of this but what if everyone is innocent or at the very least carries an innocence within them on some level most surely un-awakened if they are engaging freely or even at times allowing their own ego to feel justified in the creation of suffering in others.
To look at things this way we have to realize that an individual engaging in this type of action isn’t even looking beyond themselves or what their ego has placed as of most importance. With veils and layers of feral survival of its own growth and sustenance and the need to feed an infinite sense of anything less then present moment awareness..
This mind based ego is something that can only exist within the mind feasting like a king at the table of our own thoughts. Shiny rings and many things. Power and the illusion of control. Superiority and disconnection from the truth of inevitable connection that we each and every single one of us share. The inescapable and unavoidable truth that we are all indeed connected and that when we cause harm to another we cause it for ourselves regardless of whether or not we are able to be at all capable of this recognition.
This ego dance that supports a disconnection and a diversion from the truth and the true purpose of our living and our lives at times. But thankfully not forever. Thankfully not in permanence, for it will always dissolve to the truth. The truth is that candle in a dark room that brings light and while yes it can create shadows was not the entire room a shadow before its presence? Was not it all without light, instead of then containing a few shadows. Was the fear some of us felt as a child in the dark vanquished by a night light? One simple and pure point of light in the dark was it not enough to soothe us to sleep. (Mine was red when I had the luxury of choice as a child.. I loved Rudolph the red nosed reindeer.)
These are the thoughts I have awoken pondering this day. So I hope that someone out there reading this finds some truth within these words and within that truth that they may find if but for a moment some peace. For the burden carried of blaming others is yet another dance of our egos. It is but a more intricate move in the steps it is capable of when the pure truth of the matter is that when we are present with our thoughts and allow our minds and bodies to serve us in the manners that they are truly designed for that we no longer need to place the same effort towards the principles of releasing and forgiving. That these things simply flow as a stream in the forest flows towards the sea. There is no battle, it simply goes. Over, around, gentle and fierce but always flowing towards its destination.
I have to mention that the typing of those words and the moment that I placed myself within the thought of them I had my migraine subside. So I will leave this here for now. Go off and contemplate my own flowing towards the proverbial sea. Ever so gently ever so soft but always flowing towards that Divine source of all and my search for a deeper connection and reflection of this within my own life, soul and heart. My body guiding me to a path to peace and less pain and suffering for myself also. For surely there are a million potential other thoughts that I as anyone could hold that would do the opposite. I choose not to. I choose to listen to my body and flow towards peace.
I love you all dear souls. You are not alone. You are precious and you are pure in the essence that is you and only you. May your thoughts guide you towards peace this day and may your soul capture its purity of divine purpose and reflection within your day and lives. As you may wish. As you may pray. As you may dream.
