Norms says who?
How can I start this ramble after a title like that? The truth is I have been opening my mind to the universe's signs and messages more recently! My recent mood represents a depressive state! Now I know I am not depressed as I work with people with depression and know it's debilitating. Also, I have long periods of loving life and my lows are not low lows just a sense of fleeing isolated from this world. This is because I am not living the life I desire. Now we can all say that but in all honesty, there is no excuse as to why we are not. The simple fact of the matter is we are conforming to societal norms. Who set these norms? (oh there's the heading title).
I am sure by reading my previous posts you have an idea of my mindset and thoughts on life. Here I often put my ideals about living that are somewhat different projections, which you'll also have picked up. The first major concept we all get wrong is we are on a spiritual journey this implies a planned route and many follow this thinking they are succeeding. To me, the real successes come from embarking on a quest to find your own route and in turn create what you and you alone desire.
This is all very well said and done sitting here tapping away at my keyboard preaching the right and wrongs of modern society I know. All I can say is this is merely a collection of my realisations after careful consideration. I live in a nice-ish area have a good job and earn a reasonable wage but this is not enough or even close. I am not wealthy and I don't mean financially either. What is money worth? As we all know the financial world is on its knees and we will see an implosion very soon so that is not wealth. Wealthy is living the life we have become here to lead. Or many come here to discover. In my younger days, I have engaged in some untoward behaviours as I am sure many have and currently in this phase of my life I have started smoking again, god knows why? But I have and here's why.
Disruptive behaviours...
In the past when I took a few substances and enjoy the experience I was fighting my ego and my quest. Don't get me wrong here I don't condone the taking of substances, only when this action affects others in a disruptive way! Too often we as humans take the easy option the one that gives us the temporary fix when in reality we need to work hard to complete our quest. My disruptive behaviours normally come when I am making a spiritual breakthrough of beginning to realise my true desires. This is the ego holding us back or maybe part of the game? We have a built-in auto-reset as it were. Since Mexico where I again realized the life of freedom and fulfilling my passion I have come back to the so-called normal life, and to prevent further progression along the path identified I have broken out the smokes and alcohol. It feels good, again the temporary fix (just for the record I am not over-consuming just more than my normal amounts). It's almost like my mind saying *** "but we don't wanna give you that" have this easy option instead. This pattern I today realise is a pattern!
Easier said than done
There are many energies crossing our paths in today's world and it's important to engage with the positive ones. This can be a very hard task as many negative energies are discussed, so we need to use our intuition. If something feels wrong often it is! When this is the case for us, it may not be for others but we must also take into account the fact at the same time fear or anxiety can be our body's way of giving us the push to try something new that could benefit us. Blooming mind field hey!
Of course, I am nowhere new transcending as if I was I would not be questioning it or trying to sabotage it. What is happening is that my mind is realising that the life I am living is not ideal for me and it's giving me hints and prompts to change it. How can I do this? Fuck knows is the answer to that one! But in all reality, I have noted the signs and messages from my mind connecting to the universe. Many things in my life are right such as the reiki healing business...
Quick plug here ...
Anyone wanting some reiki energy sending please get in touch. Of course, many are not near me but I will do distance healing upon request 🙏🏽. Thank you for listening... back to the ramble
This next stage of my life is realising that I don't have to answer to anyone or please anyone. This is my quest and I have gone off track. I am not designed for the 9 - 5 life and now need to find a way to disconnect from the system even more. This time has not been wasted though I now have a deep knowledge of who I am and what I represent and I love helping people as I do in my job. I am a healer and always will but now is the time to heal myself
I don't know where I go from here. I would love to sell up and escape the madness here in England but how and where and with what income? These are the questions I face right now and must work on to find my new path. All in all, things are good folks and although my mental health fluctuates I am sound of mind and realise this is a transition to go through. I am finding my tribe and energies and the path my quest takes me on next is welcomed 🙏🏽
So that's a wrap folks!
Connect with you next time... 🦶🏽💯🐒.
