When a child was asked to sit, she kept standing up. When it got to a point that the parent threatened to break the child’s leg if she continued to be disobedient. The child of 5 sat down and did not move. The parent looked at the child and said how proud she was of the child. The child looked up and said “IN MY MIND, I AM STILL STANDING UP.”
Many times in our lives, we are forced into situations we are not comfortable with and we go through the motions of the new circumstance and in our mind we are still who we have been so long, doing what we really wanted to do in the first place. There is a disconnect between the inner ‘I’ who is trapped within the external ‘I’ who we project. The first visible sign of this disconnect is a bulging waist line.
This disconnect between mind and body manifests as stress leading to the release of cortisol, a hormone which floods our blood vessels. In olden day when man lived by instinct and had to hunt for a living, and lived under the fear of being meal of a bigger beast, cortisol served its purpose. Today we get the same panic attacks and feel the same anxiety only difference is the beast is within. We fight ourselves. We constantly make ourselves believe that visiting a place or meeting a person or eating a certain food or doing something in particular or acquiring a certain material possession will make life better for us. We believe all these events and entities are real and a solution.
The truth is every ‘problem’ does truly have a solution, it just so happens that the solution leads to the creation of three new ‘problems’. Someone who is single wants to get married. Someone married wishes they were single. A childless person wishes for children and someone with children how much more time they had when they had no children. People spend hours in front of a tv or shopping and say they have no time. People take up causes to find a purpose. Some want to save the whales, some save the trees. Some want better housing, some want preservation of low income housing areas. The list is endless. And when things just seem about right and life begins to cruise there is either a natural calamity somewhere or crazy people go around blowing trains, buildings and communities – for a cause they believe in.
But what if people in their spare time, when there was no work to be done and no unfinished chores, just stepped out and enjoyed nature just as it existed, or visited a library and read a book, or visited a hospital or an old people’s home and donated some time, or retired to their room and prayed and meditated, or visited a neighbor and offered a kind word or help with a chore. These are moments when we realize that we are blessed with more and so we can share. More of what, you may ask. And it is Time.
My friend, when we arrived all we received was time and when we run out of time, we must leave, this temporary home, this planet we call earth. It is just one of the many destinations – this rock that is alive and abundant, this piece of the universe, a spec is the physical plane of the cosmos. Everything that was, is or will be created – is an act of love. Love is the only power or force that creates – hatred is what destroys. Destruction isn’t permanent. Everything that is not serving us, or has fulfilled its purpose will end. In a physical sense it is recycling of energy from one form to another, in the spiritual sense it is the death of the old and the birth of the new.
No one came with a stick of coins in their fist or a wad of currency notes, and when we ‘die’ no one has a truck at the end of their funeral procession. So my dear one, enjoy your time. It is a gift from our creator and this is all we have. Though a concept in the human dimension – for animals or trees have no such attachments to time or memory – the move on. Even children – enjoy each day as it arrives. They do not remember an insult or a physical bruise for too long. But as we grow we condition ourselves to hold on to stuff, fill up our closets, cupboards, pantry, basement, attic and garage with stuff that is not serving us. Stuff we do not see ever or even forget exist, but we hold on to them – baggage. We grow comfortable, complacent, get used to our bodies and when we do not like what we see, we go buy new clothes and new makeup. We get used to our miseries and diseases.
Tell someone their troubles aren’t real and they can be fixed – sure they’ll believe you and even do something about it and replace with a new ‘trouble’. And heaven forbid if you ever tell someone that they are not sick, all they need is rest, more fluids and a change of space. They hold on to their diseases like an infant who clings on to their mother’s breast for comfort. First thing people tell me is how would you know what it means to be sick, you are never sick. You are lucky. My doctor knows more or better and if I do not take this drug … or it is part of my family history…. I feel like asking them did Adam or Eve or whoever was the first couple according to your belief or faith - who was gifted these genetic disorders that you so proudly claim as part of your heritage?
You might ask, where am I heading with all this… right?
I will only say “if you are comfortable with what you have and who you are, stop complaining and enjoy your life – what you have and who you are.” And “if you are not comfortable with what you have and who you are, stop complaining and change – let go of what you have and who you ‘think’ you are.”
