THE MIND BOGGLES!! |
Change Your Life | January 22 2026 No. 948 |
What if we could all stop ourselves from being led, blindly, by the nose by our own individual conditioned minds - a veritable sickness that feeds off the collective conditioned minds of the normal crazy herds.
If we could unplug our conditioning, not only would be experience life as it really is, the moment in all its glory, not only would be stop reacting and being a perpetual part of our own problems and those of the world at large, we would become the solution - not just part of the solution because the solution to everything starts with you and me.
The crowning responsibility that we have - to take control of the one and only thing over which we have total control in our lives, our own state of mind - is a global one.
Don't be fooled for one minute by your conditioning, our collective conditioning, that your apparently little drop in the proverbial ocean doesn't matter, that wishing our world was a kinder, better place is like trying to hold back the tide...
You and I, the real you and I, can make a difference, must make a difference and, when we turn up to the here and now, actually do make a difference.
Presence lifts. Presence is infectious. Your presence lifts those around you who, in turn, become more present.
When you change your "little" world, you play your part in changing the world.
The science is stunningly clear - the more presence and calm there is in the world, the greater an impact it has on the world at large.
It's all too easy to look at the world and feel disheartened. But that would be to abdicate our responsibility.
Embrace your responsiblity excitedly. For starters, it will change your life.
If you have not already so far today, find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed, sit down and close your eyes. Breathe in and out.
As this is something that you will undoubtedly already be doing, this is something that should come naturally to you!!
What comes less naturally is paying complete attention to how it feels to breathe in and out. The oldest and most widely practiced form of meditation, focusing on how it feels to breathe stills the mind and enables you touch reality - a qualitatively different experience to the world in which you think you live.
