005CrAsH... The Enlightenment

For every moment you have spent wondering if you made the right decision, you solidified your ability to change. Periodically the opportunity presents itself for a chance to think deeply. For men, it might be that hesitant "I love you too" when you wish to respond to someone who has captured your heart in ways it's never been. For female's it might be the monthly cycle that reminds you how creative the species really is. Whatever the event is that brings with it a moment of clarity, your embrace is what foretells the outcome.

Finding that moment of tranquil thought enables you to seek the light and disembody the decisions that leave you hiding between the minutes of a forgotten clock. Reveal levels of peace. Reveal levels of sacred truth. Reveal levels of natural order. Reveal forever YOU!

004-RECLAIM your mind frame

Think back to when you were in elementary school. What sort of things went through your mind when you were in the 5^th or 6^th grade? How did you perceive your world? What about high school, did you think about things differently than you did in elementary? When you finished college I bet you had a different frame of mind then you did in high school. How about now? Has the environment changed or did you change? Why?

As adults we think things through, analyze, hypothesize, and perform a host of other preliminaries, prerequisites and preludes to a final judgment, choice, or decision. It's a wonder that we get anything done. What happened to doing things that "felt" right. Going with your "gut" feelings, and throwing caution to the wind. Has there been such an upsurge in procedures that no one can make a decision without identifying some form of "ready made" outline to life? Have we created an existence that diminishes our natural abilities to connect with earth elements in order to gain knowledge that would allow us to make better decisions?

There was a lecture in my area given by Wayne Chandler a few years back. He spoke about his book and some of the interesting people he met during his travels. There was one group of indigenous people who were "in tune" with their natural surroundings and relied on this connection for much of their daily living. This group shared with Mr. Chandler their knowledge of time and told him that we are currently living in an artificial time.

So what is artificial time? If you can answer this question then you aren't stuck within the realms of this man made cycle we call time. The current mind frame has evolved to a point which can no longer accept what reality truly is. Instead, it continues to encourage "drone-like" behaviors and provides reward for surface thoughts. Can this downward spiral be brought to a screeching halt? The short answer is yes.
