''EVEN YOUR OWN SHADOW LEAVES YOU IN THE DARKEST HOUR OF THE NIGHT.''
Sometimes we find ourselves wondering why our life seems to constantly bring us more of what we don't want instead of what we have asked for. Our desire for materials or experiences is an energy that we project onto the world and not life that projects the energy onto us. We decide through social programming whether something is good, bad and right or wrong and are therefore placing another distorted opinion on what we call the world. This opinion has been built up layer upon layer by the social programming that has been constructed over many years since the birth of mankind. Regardless of where they have come from it is up to us to remove them if we want to be free. Looking for someone or something to place the blame on is a complete waste of time and a disregard of personal responsibility in ignorance of our own needs. We are responsible for every single situation that appears in our life. Yes you are responsible for every single one of them as it appears in your life. Taking responsibility for our whole life is the first step to freedom and anything that we are not accountable for will fall away from our experience. We are not guilty of anything that we do not understand though we are responsible for raising our self-awareness to do better. Becoming free from our own imprisoned mind and adopting simplicity where complex situations arise is the key to a happy and successful life.
We all have needs in the world and there are many obvious necessities such as love, nurture, food and water which we all need to sustain our existence and grow in a productive and healthy manner. If we search deep inside we will find that most of our needs are not really needs but habits that we have trained our minds to copy and follow. We now accept them as normality and have come to believe that life would be empty without them. We have accepted these ideas and memes which appear in the form of slogans, systems, signs, images, pathways, habits, moods, modes, strategies and a multitude of other forms they arise in. They become gently infused into brain leaving us unaware of the damage they are doing to us in every moment. There is nothing wrong with desire in the world the problem is the neediness of the desire. It is suggested to give up the attachment to your desires or at least begin the process now. We seek our dreams to the ends of the Earth and become frustrated when they do not materialise and after giving up we change direction. This is usually when the dream appears. (When we do not hold that particular desire anymore).
When someone or something enters our life or leaves us it can be devastating if we are not prepared for it or aware of its coming or going. If we are internally and mentally trained we are aware that such attachments are destructive to our existence and then have the ability to make the change to what is beneficial for us. You never actually lose or gain anything in the world you only think you do. Experiences appear in front of us on a daily basis but usually we do not like what we see and don't even realise that we have brought them upon ourselves. Should we get upset or frustrated about this? This kind of reaction will not serve us and will emanate an energy out of us attracting more of what we do not want. Everything manifests from the unconscious then into thought form and manifests on the physical plane with its counterpart energy field in consciousness. All that anything can be at any moment in time is all that is possible under the current conditions. When someone has upset us and we seek to change them or the circumstances we are operating from a point of resistance in the universe and are sending out a negative energy which will bring us more and more of the same. We often feel that they could have tried harder to satisfy our demands. When we think in this way we overlook the fact that most people would obviously do better if they only knew how. Doing our best is never a failure it is the gateway to better things no matter what the result is. We either choose to accept things in life or battle them out with our mind until we become mentally exhausted or physically ill using energy that we could have put to use elsewhere in finding solutions. Usually later on we find that most of the things we did not receive where to our own advantage and something better was waiting around the corner. Like a teenager who wants the latest football shirt and acquires it on impulse in the shop only to find it marked at half the price a few days later in another shop. Though how many children do you know of that learn from these kind of experiences? Hardly any! They usually go on applying the same attitude towards life for years until they finally learn their lesson, if ever. This is clearly seen in adults too and is where most of the children pickup their habits.
