THE COST OF CONTROL
Have you ever noticed yourself outgrowing the control of your mind? It may have been a little discipline you had set yourself, a routine or an expectation you had of yourself. And then one day you realise - you can trust yourself to be free and make a decision that is coming from a deeper place... one of more care for yourself, awareness of what you need or insight into a limit that was holding you back.
That my friend is a very precious moment of growth... for the mind can act as a gatekeeper of our reality... a self imposed role which is validated behind the scenes by our fears.
So while that control, be a it a presumption, an expectation, a fixed idea or a judgment can colour the world around you.... this is not my message here today... my message is this; the attitude of your mind is in relationship with reality.
Okay so that probably needs some unpacking...
Our attitude - the collection of our beliefs, our unprocessed and processed experiences and emotions presenting as our expression - how we are in the world.
Mind - the witness of what is arising interpreted into thought.
Relationship - interaction.
Reality - well, I am hardly qualified to say, so lets run with Oneness, Infinite, Omniscience, Omnipresence...
So if you look from the perspective of the Infinite, ever present all that is ... there are a few check points to go through before being experienced by the consciousness of our being.
And this my dear is where you may or may not pay the cost of control...
