Complextiy of Simplicity

Some people say Life is hard. I think that our culture is hard. We live in a culture in which the ideas that raised us never forces us to think for ourselves. We are raised by institutions like schools and churches. Institutions that mold and shape our ideological and theological beliefs. We are raised by corportations who influence us to buy into their products, and we end up buying into their ideas and we let their ideas justify and define who we are. We live in a society that forces us to suppress natural urges and neglect simplicity in order to fit into our society's view of comfortablity. Everday we go out we wear masks. We wear mask so long that we end up mistaking the mask for our actual face. And if we get sick of the mask and want to expose our real face, who we were made to be , we are looked at as crazy or we have lost our minds. My point is that there are so many distractions in this society that takes us away from who we are and what we were made to be. There are so many things we have surrendered our intelligence to because we have given it trust because it helped raised and shape us. We have let our creations and technology do the living for us. We have made life so complex that we can't even make simple decisions. . We are in control of so many things, but we can't even control being happy, or being at peace. Alot of us don't believe we can control our reality, unless it is picking up a remote control and turning on the tv. Putting your key in the ignition and turning on your car, picking up your cell phone to text message or call someone. If I told the average person in our culture that they are in control of their life from now until the day they leave this earth, they would not believe me, because we are so use to being responsive and we are responsive in ways that gives us less control of situations. Are we in control of our lives? I would say yes. We have the ability to choose. Not only do we have the ability to make a choice about our actions, we have the ability to make choices about the way we perceive events and situations. We are all creators, we might not have created the cards that were dealt to us, but we can choose to use those cards to our best advantage and create better realities for us to live in. We are always creating, we say life sucks, life really sucks because we are giving permission through our thoughts that life sucks, when we say life is beautiful that is because we choose to see it at such. The key to life is to understand the essence of who and what you are. Your are a creator and you were made in the image of the ultimate creator. We are all spiritual beings a having a human experience. This is not religious it just means that what we really are is not in the realm of physical limitations. Human life is just a short break in our journey back to our true selves. We are here to learn about life and master the power of intention and create what we want, that is what our creator had in mine for us.
