The Connection
If people focused on each other instead of world events the world would be a much better place.
-D-Revolution
I’m writing my existence, realizing more than ever that the words we speak manifest. Do we actually call out our own fate? Is calling our own fate the balance of the world? The ying and yang? For those who keep their mouths closed and their thoughts sacred, I wonder is life easier that way. Is ignorance bliss? A person like myself who thinks entirely too much continues to pay a price for an over load of knowledge. There is a price to pay when you see the world differently from everyone else. Too much of anything can and will begin to take its toll. Everything will be balanced. Being relevant is key, but what is being relevant? In my opinion being relevant is having a presence about yourself; simply when you walk in a room is your presence felt? When you leave the room is your presence missed. Relevance comes with a sense of purpose and people can connect with your energy even if they don’t know you. I believe our spirits can connect with things we don’t physically understand. The illusions around us strip us of our natural ability to see all things are connected.
A friend told me he knows a girl who teaches small children, but lives with her drug dealing boyfriend she has child with. He went on to say how much of a contradiction it is to teach kids, but to let your boyfriend sell drugs out of the house your child lives in. I paused for second and then said “Do you buy drugs from her boyfriend?” He said “Yes, but what does that have to do with me?” I explained to him that he was a part of the problem, because we’re all connected. If we can think outside the box and discover the inner connection with ourselves suddenly everything that seems important becomes superficial. We would begin to see things clear and make better decisions about our lives.
Growing up I would sit and look at myself in the mirror for several minutes. I would begin to see things that I normally wouldn’t see with a quick glance. Have you ever stared in the mirror and looked into your own eyes? Most people avoid looking into mirrors unless it’s for vanity purposes. I challenge anyone to face the mirror. Look at yourself for about fifteen minutes and see what happens. Our fate and purpose is not complex only our self-image.
Illusion- something that deceives by producing a false or misleading impression of reality.
The stock market, banks, mortgage, religion, money and credit are all false realities. We focus on the very things that have no true meaning to our purpose in life. If you sit back and watch television pay close attention to the commercials. Most commercials are going to give you a false reality by advertising more vanity and a false sense of self. The more we focus on vanity the more we lose our reality. We’re all guilty of it. We’re being tested everyday to see how much we’re dependent on the system (the illusion). Do you really think they didn’t help the people of Katrina because they were black? Being black was a small part, but they waited to see what the people were going to do as whole. They want to know how dependent we are on the illusion built around us. We’re blinded by our own image of ourselves and therefore do not live up to our true potentials.
The Point↓
Take a moment and breathe. Pay attention to your inner spirit and signs around you. I recommend watching a few movies that I believe are very parallel to this article. “Grand Canyon” is a movie that really talks about the connection between us all in a very profound storyline. “The Matrix” is a movie that talks about self-image and “V for Vendetta” is a great film that talks about purpose. Get the family together and have a great movie night.

I have looked into the mirror and when and fell in love with me. I was a senior in high school when i did it and my eyes were opened to my reality. My reality? Love me first, and only then can I be capable of loving others if they deserve it.
The Matrix validates your points. I will have to watch the other movies you mentioned. Thanks again.

To look in the mirror and see what see’ s you… We are still trapped in an illusion of success in so many ways as a society….. needing to realize that we are in a slavery mind state…..

Words with this magnitude of righteous energy should always be respected and remembered.
