Fear Paralysis: It's okay not to have all the answers...
I have spent the last four days with my little family, camping. My son has played in the water all day – thankfully Jacob chose a gorgeous site right on the water! He always finds hidden gems in the world…it may very well be his best talent!
As I write this email I smell the fire burning, the sun is setting, the sky is a gorgeous purple and pink, there's a slight slither of a new moon, Declan is asleep and Jacob is off for a canoe ride. The birds are still singing, and some people are swimming and chatting in the distance.
Life is good.
As I look up ... I also notice the evidence of the chem trails left behind. It reminds of how easy it is for people to dismiss what they see as “rational” in order to keep enjoying the status quo.
“No, gracias” a woman in the distance appropriately just said. Pretending is not my MO.
Truth is, I want to know the truth, because I want to face what is, and in the process free myself from the fear that keeps most people captive to an increasingly smaller reality, living lives that feel so constrictive, they are slowly suffocating their own Life Force under the illusive grip of control.
The dragonflies are dancing together. Just as well, I could do with less mosquitoes. But I accept them as part of how it is.
There's no denying the trajectory of the future -- it has, quite literally, been written down in what modern day man considers sacred text: law and medicine backed by (populous) science.
There's no point in desperately seeking to awaken the sleeping masses, either – they have long ago made their choice to follow the word of their favourite storytellers.
It's also not worth it to decay in the closet, hoping for Prince charming to come save us from ourselves. Because life is meant to be lived!
I'd rather be here, fully immersed in the moment that I am in, fully devoted to the truth of that moment, trusting mySelf to have created it all for my evolution.
All I choose to do is be here, living my life in a meaningful way, my way, inviting you to join me and live your meaningful life, your way...
The more you stay in these conversations, the more you discover the somethings that get in the way. Fear is a massive something. It causes internal paralysis, guiding us to look anywhere BUT internally to choose...
Fear is infamous for masking the truth, because we are too afraid of the fear to face what is. We don't want to know ... yet, simultaneously, we can never not-know. Such is the nature of the double-binds that keep us captive...
For those of you thinking wtf, yup I agree. You see, I don't want to know what I know, either. I don't want to see what I see, hear what I hear. I don't want to be right about what I know is happening. I don't want this reality to be the one my son grows up in...
I can choose to ignore it and pretend it's all business as usual, and this reality doesn't go away.
Or I can educate myself on what's going on, and shape my response intelligently, and live congruently.
The time has come to find a way to ride our fears ... and transcend past our perceived limitations.
Truth is, fear shows up as a messenger ... do you know how to hear its message?
