The saying goes, your will is my will. Not your will is also my will. Simple, but what it really means is that what we decide for ourselves, happens to us and what we don’t decide for ourselves, is also mirrored in our reality. Circumstances aren’t controlling what happens to us, it is only our reactions that reflect in our reality, positive or negative.
What is the nature of the mind? And what is the correct use of it?
The mind is a powerful tool, but it is just that—a tool. It is meant to serve us, not to define us or confine us to a reality based solely on what can be seen, measured, and proven. In a society that honors the observable and the tangible, I’ve found myself pondering the nature of belief, of faith in the unseen and the unprovable.
Why limit our belief only to what can be physically observed or scientifically validated? When the very essence of our consciousness, our existence, remains a mystery that no empirical evidence can fully explain, why not open our hearts to the possibility of the mystical, the supernatural, the unexplained? Astrology, horoscopes, and tales of fantasy are not mere escapism but gateways to a broader understanding of the universe and our place within it. They remind us that there is more to life than what meets the eye, that the unseen forces at play in our lives are as real and influential as the physical world we navigate daily.
The creation of modern societies has taken away this basic understanding of life. Life that needs to be simply observed and experienced, as opposed to lived by a set of rules that govern our every action, thought and behavior. We live in a bubble of knowledge created by those who believe they have discovered the right way to live, when really, it is all about self exploration and detachment from the external and establishing connection with the internal.
Why don’t we spend more time doing that instead? Why do we allow the noise of the world to drown out the gentle whispers of our hearts and souls?
There is a clear limit to the questions we can ask. For they will always return to the same existential standpoint, but we have become exceedingly answer driven and refuse to understand that life is simply offered to us to experience. That life just happens to us. There isn’t a need to seek. It is a process that we are all part of. And if we can all support each other in the process, we can then all undertake this journey collectively.
