THE VOYAGE WITHIN

Do you have a destiny, a dream, an inkling of where you are to go to in life, is there something more than what you have or is what you have all there is, and if so there's nothing wrong with that. Many people have a feeling deep within that they would like to do certain things which have a solid resonance with them. Possibly no others can even share that or even know of it as it's never been mentioned. The idea that one would like to over and above what is currently happening venture forth and be an explorer, a writer, a cook, a discoverer, whatever it is that has a fascination and a stimulus for that inner self. Or is it a need for an understanding of the soul to reach somewhere else and gain a higher meaning of life, because it exists whether we entertain it or not. How do we want to end up and what happens between now and then can dramatically affect both who we are and who we think we are. It's a sad enditement to ourselves to think little of life outside our confines as there is a vastness that holds such knowledge about life and why some countries do well and others always lag behind and suffer and enact deplorable states and injustice. Our concept of life changes as we get older, our lives are pushed and pulled and knuckled into shape, things change, dreams shatter, new opportunities arise, people come and go, experiences are encountered good and bad, and time ticks on regardless, and when we are gone time will still tick on.

Making the best out of life is what we have for ourselves, sometimes it goes well and sometimes despite best efforts it doesn't, either way we have to get on with it and try, and try and try for if we don't stagnation starts to take place and then decay sets in. Decay is a part of the whole recycling of life, everything goes through the process even the universe recycles itself, it's all part of the very big 'bigger picture' sometimes lasting nano-seconds sometimes thousands of years, either way everything has a life at some point. For ourselves the moment is now and that's the crucial aspect of both enjoying life and allowing others to enjoy and share that joy with us for if that doesn't happen we certainly aren't maximising our lives and reaching into the fullness of it all. Our enjoyment is an essential aspect of a sentient existence, it's what makes us think and feel not only for ourselves but others too, it's a love based concept that never dies. Where there is an absence of love there is instability and ironically religiously controlled countries have a massive lack of love as internal mayhem and instability are their trade marks.

Our journeys in life are so personal that we can't compare to others as we are all individuals and we can't either appoint fairness nor anything else. What is, is nothing more than that. We have a free hand within our own self and it's a case of reacting to life the way it is and the myriad of permutations that exist and crop up because of co-existing circumstances often arranged subconsciously by others. The culmination of events in our lives is infinitesimal, and it's up to us to change or alter what we can in order to best make a headway for ourselves, otherwise life will happen by default, and then it may be alien to what we like and want and takes us to a place which is less happy. Sometimes life can be like a roller coaster others it can be sedate and slow, either way we are the fulcrum in our existence and have to move and shift and turn to make it what it is for ourselves. The reciprocity of life is paramount, what we put out we get a return, if we put out little or nothing then that is what we will reap so we can't blame others for a poor harvest if we sow few seeds. Our attitude is part of our journey as it reflects who we are and what we are, it's our face to the world no matter who sees it. Our attitude is our shop window so if what we have to offer looks soiled then it probably is, if it's always shining regardless of circumstances then it's that warm glow that others will pick up upon. But it's all down to the self, your life, your journey, how do you want to write your script?

THE SILENT NOISE AROUND US

All around us there is noise, not necessarily the noise we can hear, but noise there is, it's reverberating and vibrating to an effect and at some point up the scale it turns to light as it has an energy. We see and hear a very limited part of the entire spectrum but it serves us well and if we could see and hear more then we would have be able to differentiate between what it all means otherwise our minds would be constantly in an overload mode. To understand life more proficiently we need to both understand ourselves, which many don't, and life itself otherwise we end up as stoic and pathetic excuses of human life some of which is almost on the verge of being created as a race in the west at the lower levels of life, where self thought is the only reason for existence. Everything makes a noise, life is itself a vibration and all that is in the cosmos sings to a set tune, even if the harmonics vary. If we are discordant then we know there is something wrong, we don't need a degree in science to understand that, but it's too easy to be arrogant and understand what discordant life is all about if we don't have any solutions as to how to correct it or re-tune it to provide more comfortable sounds that like a well tuned car just purrs in motion as opposed to rough clangy sounds it would otherwise emit.

Unhappiness, sadness, loneliness, evil, retribution, anger, worry, unsettled, religion, nervousness, unreliability, dishonesty, lack of purpose, lack of being, etc, all the negative emotions are discordant and reverberate in an ill conceived manner hence if they are allowed to continue by default make us unhealthy and the consequences of which can be dire. Within the framework of life and that silent noise that's around us we create a new kind of noise, it's called 'our life' and whilst it's made up of the same stuff of everything else around us it's still unique to us, it will never be replenished nor copied such is the vastness of life and our part in it. Discordant societies are made up of discordant people and they run on for years and years, discordant lives are similarly created by the self, and at this point one must differentiate between being discordant and personal happiness because it's possible to have degrees of personal happiness within a discordant society, and it very possible to be unhappy in a concordant society.

When the harmonics of our lives resonate well when we feel good about ourselves and life, even if all isn't perfect, it's how we see ourselves and assess where we are and what we have and decide it's OK to be happy. It has to be because happiness is already within us it's not circumstantial, even though that can give us a degree of happiness itself, what makes one happy may not be the contributing factor to another's happiness. Happiness is not a journey, it's here right now whether you like it or want to believe it or not. What noise we choose to bring to enhance living to us is purely down to ourselves, no one else can enter into our own noise or happiness, we can contribute to the overall orchestral sound of life or be something of a clatter of discordant amplitude that everyone rejects or spurns or treats as something that they don't want. Many large companies and organisations are after years of service going bust, old values are being terminated as not compliant with today's cheap and easy short termism, where the resonance isn't very pleasing and thus in its wake of such sounds endless re-inventing is becoming an on-going strategy just to keep afloat regardless of what cost and expense.

Instability and the absence of real leadership relinquished for greed and power makes their discordant noise unheard yet its felt by all around. The atmosphere of many a workplace is negatively charged and this in turn is brought to the home life and distributed to those there who in turn distribute their negative harmonics to others and soon society is revelling to disconcerting sounds that start the whole ball rolling to ill health and where mental health is concerned the agility of the nation is then in jeopardy. Nothing in life is exclusive, it's part of the homogeneous overall sound where harmonics blend or otherwise, it's the otherwise we need to focus on as it's in our remit to be able to fix it all. But where showmanship is today's premier action it leaves the unseen unheard to slowly flourish until it's all too late and nations have problems looming large that know nothing of or about. Being "at one" with life isn't some "new age" diatribe, it's actually feeling that whatever happens you are going to feel good and not be a part of what is a temporal situation and that the ambient resonance of life is where you belong, for what is the alternative.
