Thought Nineteen

Belief systems are like cardboard boxes that we pull ourselves down into. We tape the box together firmly for we fear any other light getting into those boxes. We don’t have to take responsibility once we enter those boxes. We can reside safely ensconced with those mighty cardboard walls. Safe from difficult decisions, not having to worry about our lives. Living life unexamined. Knowing we are doing the right thing because our religion tells us so. Safe to make the same decisions life after life, head in the sand never knowing the difference.

It’s hard to choose to examine your life and beliefs. To see the scary things and continue anyway.

To choose to forget life after life. Some have called it the river of sleep.

No wonder.

If you could see what I have seen, would you be afraid or exhilarated?
Would you choose to walk in the dark, your heart beating with fear, your mind fierce, voice roaring your name?

Our brain and body have the built in bio-construct of fear. We literally can’t help being afraid in our bodies, but our minds can overcome this. We can be fiercely unafraid in our minds and overcome the bio-construct of our biological fear.

Everything we see is an interpretation of our external world based on the mapping we have built over our lifetimes.
Knowing that,
you can choose to be,
choose to see,
more.
