THE POWER WITHIN

Depending upon our point of view and the way we look at life is the way we structure our thoughts and feelings. It has nothing to do with our "outward" feelings that can be bright and gregarious or dull and dowdy, it has more to do with those inner thoughts that are so personal to us all. It's those inner thoughts they we constantly utilise to compare the thoughts and feelings of others to ourselves, it's all done subliminally, and whether it's business, social or we actually 'fancy' someone there is that constant comparison to see where we lie and they lie in our placement in life. We can agree within ourselves to 'get on' with someone who we really don't like - not that they may be a bad person - but there's not much synergy between our inner feelings and them, even though we have to work closely with them. We do all of this in a blink of an eye, and think little of it, it's how we move around in life and it's what we do every time we meet someone. It's nothing to do with judging others nor forming "first impressions" either it's all that information that we give out about ourselves without hardly lifting a finger. The human being is a fantastic transmitter and receptor of information, we don't have to be psychic to pick up atmospheres and temperaments of others or situations, it's just that some are better placed mentally to 'see' such things than others, who almost cut off that ability because of inner narrowness of mind.

There have been endless experiments in the scientific field some quite way out as to our thinking process and what we do and don't pick up, especially those who achieve this information from different places. However, the trouble with the scientific community unless equipment is devised to capture such ethereal data it's all still theory, even if it's been proven in examples, but it can't be replicated, hence there is that "elasticated effect" where science at times is always trying to catch up, and where technological breakthroughs have to be made in order to verify what we already can see. That being that, it still doesn't eliminate what power we all have within us as to transcending the material aspects of where we are and just being super observant in situations and being able for want of a better explanation to 'read' into a situation with astounding accuracy, not just leading off lead questions but being able to retort upon aspects that no one has mentioned nor possibly commonly known. This is not rocket science nor is it some kind of "spiritual" awakening, this is applicable to each and every one of us whether we utilise that ability or not. One of the credentials for "seeing" is not to analyse what comes to mind, hence many intellectual people almost shut themselves out so used are they to pondering over information and seeing if there are patterns, synergies and anything else, once that millisecond of thought comes into place then that 'higher' ability is instantly dashed. Of course overall feelings can always prevail but that is more of an ambient energy than something that's seemingly ethereal in nature and beyond the right here right now.

The interaction between man and his material surroundings and the intricate network of synergistic algorithmic structures almost melds as an understanding or as an understandable structure evolves that has a greater meaning even if it's not totally comprehend able how one can relate to another. Where outward appearances often hide great commonalities that are confined within, similarly our mind holds more than just memory and form, it has abilities that are above our sheer functionality which in itself is beyond just being impressive or an evolutionary chance. The higher the evolutionary state of mind one gets the better the degree of clarity, understanding and purpose one holds, it's not the same reporting from the side lines, being in the loop of knowledge throws into the fore aspects that are 'felt' more than read or drawn up on monitors to stare at and understand. It's this difference that at times separates minds of repute, those that report with conjecture and those that harmonise with the picture that's unfolding. It's somewhat like describing the flavour and smell of vanilla, one can describe its uses and technical properties but until tasted and smelt it it bring into line a totally new dimension. Many people are technically competent yet can't smell the "vanilla" aspect because of their own mind set holds back what they deep down tend to reject about life as if it's against their base thoughts, and thus never quite go far enough.

Our carbon based society has properties / substances within it of an individual nature that are technically separated by a single molecule in structure yet the products of such are so vastly different. With this in mind it's not beyond the realms of comprehension that our minds can control how we feel over and above conditional responses, our own healing, our abilities to overcome, see, hear and sense all that is around us. Even the middle levels of thought elevation such as in our emotions whether negative or positive can temporarily enhance our levels of ability to do good or evil, providing some with an uplift in mind perceptions and associated physical manifestations. Too many people fall short of themselves allowing their emotions to control them and how they feel and what they say as opposed to the other way around. Of course worry and fear reduce our ability to do anything, which is back to why "religions" don't work as faith is but a facade and not a deed of same or a conduit to God. Anything that is not positive in dimensional thought automatically intereceds in our abilities and our inner strength to do wondrous things hence many people just survive life and trundle through watching from the outside and hyperthetically assessing their lot but just in effect pass time in minor persuites as they have nothing tangible to bolster themselves in anyting outstanding, no matter what level that happens to be in.

INEVITABLE INEQUALITY - A LIFE CONUNDRUM

The trouble with 'Politically Correct' people is that they are weak, insipid, fearful, unintelligent and have this universal approach to life that "one size fits all". They are usually single, over thirty, predominantly female (although not exclusively) and have a somewhat 'precious' outlook that belies their unhappy, unloved lifestyle, that many (not all) but many seem to induce. Life is not equal, never has been nor will be, we are not equal as people in the way that we have different abilities, aptitudes and understanding in life. Nor can life be responsible for the irresponsible, the United Nations is made up of a few countries that "have" and predominantly the rest - the majority - are "have nots", for whatever reason they are have nots. The successful countries on planet earth are predominantly Christian based and those ones which are predominantly unstable and unproductive are Islamic, where life is a matter of control, hatred and upset, global terrorism (in the name of love and peace of course) and although many would deny to your face quoting contextual verses, the talk and the walk are light years apart, the facts in front of you speak for themselves. The remainder are a mish mash of whatever corruption and bad management and lack of sincerity that is out there that's in power.

World turbulence will continue until eternity, there will not be an "accord" in life and the future will not be one of tolerance and peace as the pathetic so want it to be, it's not that others would like turbulence to be common place but the diversity of the past few years of migration shifts has toppled the status quo and so called developed countries have had thrust upon them illiterate and uneducated and ideologically stagnant people who because of weak governments, and the effect of political correctness have allowed backwardness to take root as opposed to bringing everyone up to date. In Europe the EEC in Brussels is at times living in a world of its own so out of touch with human feelings in the member states that it literally needs a rude awakening and new blood from those that live outside the bubble of conceited understanding and theoretical applications. There's even unaccountable spending and financial irregularities in Brussels itself not audited which for a "centre" of such as so called "responsible" body is reprehensible and smacks of  a smugness that breeds contempt of its own accord.

There are two kinds of life, the intellectual whereby those who forever consider the way things are going and predominantly get it wrong, it's possibly interesting stuff for television debates but no more than mental masturbation. And then there are those who basically don't give a dam as it's all out of their hands, and whilst they get annoyed at ministers endless procrastination and the press hyping everything out of proportion they have a thing called "a life" to get on with and enjoy the best way they can. Life is what you make it, there's no getting away from that fact, if you succumb or accede to circumstances you are finished. The sea change of life is accelerating at a speed of knots unknown to mankind, the breeding of intelligent yet illiterate people is also growing. Where many of the young are lost in confrontational situations so used are they to talking behind electronic devises and losing the ability to understand intuitive and personable feelings with fellow man. Age plays as a great part in how we have to adapt or make good who we are in life, at times we are forced into situations outside of our comfort zones and in reality this is where we and others actually grow and in the grand order of things it helps to keep us on an even keel and enhances stability to a degree. The current plague of youth unrest is not a "now" thing, it's been festering for years and political thought today is so wrong, with few strong and defiant leasers available it will continue until "nanny" states get real with life as it is.

THE PHANTOM LIFE OF NOTHINGNESS

The more we do the better life is, we find the energy and the ability and the will power to get through, even if we are exhausted and shattered, we do it. We plan our times and make the appropriate arrangements and fit in the appointments with the dentist, the doctor, having the car serviced, shopping, socialising, and whatever else we have to do we do it, and what's more actually have something called "a life". We dream or aspire to having to "do nothing" to be on that beach or countryside, chilling out over leisurely meals, a glass of wine, reading, swimming, adventure trekking whatever it is that gets our proverbial juices flowing. The moment we get time to ourselves we take advantage of it - or do we, strangely enough the "doing nothing bit" we often initially enjoy but that soon leads to a thought that we have "wasted out time" and didn't do what we had intended. We may have cleared the attic, the garden, painted the kitchen whatever, but then whilst that can in itself be immensely satisfying, we still haven't had that idyllic leisure time that we deep down would have liked so we often carry that feeling over. How we "decide" to enjoy life is down to us, if we hold near to our hearts a perfect restful time that we can indulge ourselves in then the chances are for most people such times will be few are far between. With that in mind we will forever be looking at falling short of our goals or ideals or whatever and thus there will be a stigma associated with our leisure time, which there shouldn't be. We should utilise what time we have and if by chance we literally "do nothing" then that's absolutely fine because it will have done us some good even if it's not what we would ultimately liked to have done. Aspirations, goals, realities, we can pick and choose and still be happy if one doesn't fit the bill at the last minute. We can't go through life harbouring the "I should have done this" or "I wanted to do that" etc, and not gotten round to it. Live and enjoy the moment rather than fear the "I should /could have" past tense scenario. If you didn't - you didn't, if you haven't - you haven't, that's it, move on, get the habit and eventually you'll get all you want done without the burden of mental pressures always lurking beneath the surface.

On the other side of the track where one has endless time and does little and whilst certain duties need to be administered we have less of a hectic life and no great schedules, life takes on a completely different stance. The mind often takes over and at times not only rules the roost but plays games in the vastness of the absence of doing something. If you have too much free time to hand you can feel overly tired and lethargic indeed the whole body process slows down. When that happens the mind loses its ability to see opportunities as they quite often appear not only tiring but full of effort and it's not the warranted effort that excitement can produce. Along side lethargy is the lack of stimuli  and the lack of real zest that one needs to progress. Even good and great things become lacklustre thus the mind sees life as an ongoing lowness and numbed experience with few ups and the rest lows almost "flat lining" on a living scale. Nothingness as such has greater consequences than being overly stretched. With nothingness life appears dull, in fact everything appears dull, and life also becomes very selfishly orientated, all towards 'me' and my home, and my life, and my space and that can at times form mental barriers as to letting yourself go, or forever leaving early to "get an early night" even at weekends and so it goes on. For the elderly it makes not too much difference but for those who are quite young it can have a profound effect upon how they think, live and move or lack of all those things. In some cases mental conditions can arise and it's very difficult to get out of them. We all at times go through patches of being very busy and then it can revert to the opposite because of prevailing factors around us and with those we regularly see, it's evolution in the making, there's nothing wrong with that. It's when we rest in our own state of nothingness that the ageing process speeds up and we then become embroiled in a self designed process of stagnation and pamper to it thus we eventually cut ourselves off from the main stream of life where we should be at.  

Rest is important, but like everything in life too much or too little of something isn't that good for us as it takes moderation to iron out and give credence to our lives. So what if we are thrust into a nothingness by circumstances, we don't know of how long we will be there so mentally it's a state of lack of understanding about our future, who we are and what is to become of us. These areas if not resolved at least to some degree will not only allow apathy to raise its ugly head but thwart within our ability to move forward, get ourselves out of our quandary and enjoy the rest of our lives. In the meantime we act as if alone amongst friends and family because our want to communicate is almost "offline" even if at the other end of the spectrum we want the closeness of others to feel that human warmth and break the coldness of our current state of thought. Nothingness can be the biggest problem we ever face, it's way beyond boredom it's when nothing becomes a lifestyle and that is when our whole ideology of life changes or morphs into something made up within our thought process. The trouble with our own thought process is that it's made up of a number of areas that can either come to life or stay dormant depending upon the stimuli we have. So if we become busy we see life differently, if we become becalmed then we can revert into a state of negativity such is the "switching" threshold we have within us all, some more than others. If we become becalmed then we can almost be the antithesis of who we once were with dire consequences. After all where the mind goes the body follows, it has to so if depression looms large even if temporary then our body feels the effects of such and so it all goes into a downward spiral. The good news is that there is always a number of solutions, but it's us that has to seek them out and utilise them, after all it's only us who can take advantage of such and it's not despite our wayward thoughts going to be handed to us on a plate.

YOUR LIFE - YOUR CHOICE - YOUR FUTURE

With upheavals in the Middle East and millions of Arabs seeking freedom, whatever that is for them, so used to being governed and working and moaning within staid infrastructures that they are not quite sure what they do want, although many are sure what they don't want. Years of oppressive religious bias governed by just a few and so it goes on, freedom is more of a concept than a way of life. But for those who feel oppressed for no other reason than than life isn't treating them well or that they are stuck in a time warp of situational fixation it's a totally different ball game. We can all at times when things "apparently" seem to be going well get stuck in a rut of "what now" and "everything's all right but there is something missing" and it's more often than not caused by our own actions and doings. Situations and circumstances are what they are, they can be changed in a flash or be almost etched in stone for the foreseeable future, either way we have the ability to work around them, alter them, change where we are , change what we do or any number of other permutations. Many of us however don't like this route or this idea as it quite often means drastic action that we are not prepared to take preferring to intellectualise or throw endless amounts of conjecture into the foray, but never the less it's us that has to move and shake to make effective headway. We are in charge of our lives regardless of circumstances and responsibilities, it's just us that we have to come to terms with, no one else, we are the biggest problem that we will ever have to face, all of our reasoning is within our minds.

Most people strive to do well, some seemingly with little ability forge ahead whereas others with learned  and inherent skills are almost left on the touch line of life just looking on, it's the way it is, although even within the latter sphere there are permutations for elevation and forward passage. The psychology of living isn't that difficult, we do most things with relative ease as it's just a natural act or stance from our part, it's the mental cloudiness that many face and seem to have difficulties in overcoming. The self created "conditions" that until they were given a name people got on with, now even the most subtle of tasks is almost a stress related feat of dexterity, and where once one would say "I'm busy" it's "I'm stressed out because of my work", everything is relative. What we say in life is a reflection of whom we are, if we keep on saying things in a dull tone of voice and it's predominantly negative then we will create a "wallpaper" effect of lowness and then that will be our self designed pattern, it will become our backdrop of life and we will literally incorporate whatever we do or say, good or bad into a stereotyped thought that will mould and shape our way forward within our daily life. We all know people who are forever ebullient and fun regardless and we know the opposite too, the latter we need to be in the right mood to listen to otherwise it becomes a toil and something that isn't conducive to uplifting the soul.

We do have great choices, it's often the motivation that is lacking even though the end result is to be in our favour, but if we don't push ourselves then neither motivation nor breakthroughs nor change will ever take place. We will be dragged on by life itself in the default lane and then at end up in a place where we didn't want to be in which is very common. Everyone has a character of some sort and it manifests itself or highlights itself predominantly in certain areas, conviviality, friendliness, easily communes with others and life, always smiles, helpful, knowledgeable and readily imparts it to others, etc, many have characters that are almost dormant and only shine when the need is there, in other words it's all subjective and controlled, in between they are probably dull, and that has a negative side. We need others in order to move forward, it's how we progress and who we know that is going to help us forge ahead, at the same time those that help us also receive an elevation from what has been imparted en-route, nothing happens ever in isolation. Whatever our aims or objectives are in life, it's down to us, forming a negative cloud to make it seem more palatable and less trying isn't part of the picture. Only by looking at the positive regardless of circumstances can we ever see the glints of blue sky in the grey clouds, sitting under the clouds we miss everything.

THE END OF THE RIDE

How many people are ever prepared for the inevitable or whatever crosses their pathway without prior warning? We are all different and cope differently with regards the self same thing, often our culture, religion, upbringing has an input as to our thinking or in many cases lack of it. Coming to terms with aspects of life can not only be shattering it can be life changing too, and for some it's a step almost too far. Bereavement, financial loss, health, relationship breakdown, friendship breakdown, losing your job, having an accident, being mugged or assaulted, robbery, fire, the list in endless and what it means to each and everyone of us is very personal. But what we must always understand that every second we are on planet earth time is literally ticking by, we owe it to ourselves to live the best way we can, and that has nothing to do with anyone else, nor are comparisons a worthy litmus test or gauge as to where we are or what we do. In the grand order of things nothing is in isolation, it's just that when something of great enormity happens to us we override the possibilities or potential of what could be thereafter. When bereavement hits us, our partner dies or something similar, we rarely want to see what options lie ahead for fear of it being disrespectful or not very nice or ungodly or callous and cold, but it's far far from that stance, life is ONLY for the living. And where REAL love comes into play - and you would be amazed at the difference between real love and "comfort love" the deceased would not wish you to be unhappy after they had passed on, with real love they would wish you to be happy, happy, happy, happy, and if you don't think that way then there is something wrong with you, your thoughts, your relationship, your love, your religion (and  religion has little to do with God), and respect for yourself. Religion has repressed people for centuries and held them back to the point that many fear aspects of life and live below acceptable standards. Every religiously controlled country is unstable and has massive enforcements to keep a dictatorial stance, (all under the name of religion) but in reality it's the few controlling the many, what you believe is between you and God NO ONE ELSE, not the government nor society.

Our thoughts about life fluctuate between how we are currently living and how we see ourselves, so we need to be real in this respect for if we veer off into areas of fantasy we will always live below our own expectations, even if our standard is currently relatively high. Adjustment in life is also something we need adapt to and stop the endless comparisons of how life was and how it is now, even if at times it turns out even better, which often happens. Many a bad scenario has a positive outcome, we must never lose sight of greater potential that we can't see or don't want to see for feeling unworthy of or from a lack of self esteem. There are few reversible situations in life because we can't ever turn the clock back, life presents itself in a different way as our 'mind set' changes and as we are mentally challenged en-route and thus see things from a different perspective and from a different time line. Our future thoughts are also re-aligned and that has a lot to do with our stability and how we physically live. How we as individuals see life has a bearing on what makes us tick, if we follow that 'love walk' and see 'happiness' as something that we are in charge of then we have a head start above the rest who seek to find love and happiness in others or situations, and thus rarely ever get anywhere except fed up and jaundiced. The end of one thing is always the beginning of something else, even though the new event may be totally different in what it is. In science the end of one thing is the begining of something else the use of energy is transferred to a different state, our lives are all molecular in structure from how we are born, develop and how we decay it's all governed by molecular structures. Our spirit and consciousness is something totally different, something that utilises science as a medium and a structure to allow - on earth at least - its ability to function, it's the medium called the "human form" but after death there are no limits whatsoever. (Unless you are an atheist or a Darwinian and then you are reduced to bone meal and will eventually be recorded as a joke in the annals of history).

For someone somewhere every day it's the end of the road, for all of us as a collective of humans beings there is a new dawn a new beginning and new start a new purpose, in fact everything is new except our past mind history that if we are not careful could continually hold us back to try and show us that nothing has changed, but that's all a lie, it cannot be the same even if the differences are minuscule because time has moved on. Stunting our growth and future with sad and disgruntled mind sets, deep sighs and self pity will only lead to enhanced upset and despondency, it will be our self created downfall that will firmly fix us to the present and stifle the opportunities and availabilities that life has in store for us. Our narrow thinking should not let potential be underestimated, after all what is 'out there' is beyond our comprehension and success and happiness is always a positive option if we don't allow 'religion', ignorant people around us, the pathetically negative media, and the rest to influence how we think and feel. Our vision of life no matter what it is is ours until it's modified at some stage, it most likely will not be the same vision as anyone else's vision even it has similarities, and it's this difference that can make or break us by acquiescing to others ideas or copying others opinions and thoughts or by literally giving up and like sheep following the herd then wondering why life isn't that good, because you've allowed someone else to take over and they haven't a clue what's best for you. If we create our own end of the road based upon someone else's vision or religious interpretation, unhappiness lack of productivity and decimation of the soul will ensue. Ending our lives having contributed nothing to life and perpetuating an ongoing status quo like religiously controlled countries, always lacking, enforcing, buying from others, never developing, and at the end of their time, like a time bomb Armageddon will be a self created prophecy. But for the rest of us who have free will the end of the line should only be that of death in our earthly form, the rest will be a new beginning.
