Life has only the meaning we give to it
...or, if you prefer, ‘Garbage in, garbage out’.
Quite simple really - so many philosophers throughout the ages have pondered ‘the Great Question’: What IS the Meaning of Life...and have come out with some truly laborious answers, spanning from the deeply esoteric [“Life is the Breath of Spirit as it descends into Form... Life is the Divine Dance... Life is the foolish dream of an Un-named Being], to some pretty mundane belief [Life is what you make it... Life is nothing but a blip in Time... Life is hard, and then you die...].
So for what it’s worth, here I’m throwing in my two cents: Life is YOUR investment of Energy, and you’ll reap exactly what you’ve invested.
It’s actually quite simple - No matter what is going on, within or around you, you choose how you’re going to respond... and this determines the quality of your Life [and it’s this quality - which we call the Vibrational Rate - which now acts as a magnet, and will attract more of the same... Yep, a self-induced feedback loop which can either bless and uplift you...or not. You get to choose...]
Isn’t it wonderful, to know that all the time you’ve been bitching and complaining about the intolerance of others, the brutal abuse of those who exploit their power, or the self-satisfying ego of religious / political / racial righteousness that decrees - or rather imposes - their own so called ‘values’ as being the whole Truth [and are quite willing to incarcerate those who dissent]...that ALL this was the accumulation of the energies projected by the masses !
Doesn’t it fill you with wonder, to realize that every single person who wallows in negativity, soon becomes the very Source of such in their own Life...
And then consider: Why... ?
Why do they do this...? Why are they so caught up by such turmoil... ?
Do they really think that their pettiness will take on a different mask if only they shout louder / get red in the face while spittle spews out of their mouth / point a righteous finger while decreeing J’accuse ! [and no, shouting ‘I accuse !’ in French does not make them more believable, just more pretentious !]
Really... ?!!
Has no-one ever realized that Life is a Mirror... and whatever we find to be soooo objectionable is simply our own projected energies... Has no-one ever realized that by proclaiming that this or that person is despicable, it only reveals their own lower brutish consciousness...
[After all , as a businessman I would never employ someone who declares himself to be so much better than others by pointing a finger to their so called ‘limitations’.
Saying that someone is less than you does NOT make you better, just more annoying.]
So then, What are we to do ...?... How do we stop participating in this corruption...?
Take time to focus on the beauty of Creation...on the gentleness that is to be found in altruistic pursuits... on helping others with no expectation of return or even recognition... of living Life as a ‘good person’, and not as the loudest lout in the neighborhood...
And there’s more - hold others accountable to this same standard - do not vote / support / promote / or participate in any views that are designed to restrict / limit / segregate others... Do not participate in spreading conflict or in the belittlement of others... and above all, ask yourself: How can I make my Life, and the world, a better place ...?
Remember - the image you find so repulsive...is your own reflection... Nothing is as vile as a righteous ego !
We choose this Path of Light and Wisdom... do not darken your vision - open your eyes....Namaste ...
