Fickleness

Humans…What fickle creatures we are.

No matter whether we profess ourselves to be stoically mature or simply evenly tempered we, in reality, change our most private thoughts and schemes many times throughout every day.

We don’t always like to admit that, so we try and trick ourselves into believing that immediately dismissing alternative ideas or solutions without acting upon them equates to never having them. We stubbornly refuse to give up the notion of our own steadfastness.

Understandable, of course, most would rather be seen as the dependable rocks of their community rather than the scattered lightweight pebbles the most arrogant of us believe our fellows to be.

Some can go as far as to carry the belief that unfaltering control of oneself will ultimately and quite naturally lead to control of others less stable. I think the state of our world now, and throughout history, shows this way of thinking has been held by and used rather successfully by most major world figures. None of whom would happily admit to being anything other than single-minded genius.

I, however, being absolutely certain that I will never be seen as a pillar of any society, let alone a world figure, will readily admit to the fickleness of mind and though I cannot confess fickleness to be a constant joy it appears to have some benefits.

Fickleness, to me, is a necessary by-product of a creative mind and as such should never be forcefully expunged from one’s character.

Focus, of course, is also necessary for any creator to achieve creation, eventually the “quiet zone” must be found in order to complete what is desired. Fickleness has no place within that zone, its place should always be held open previous to the zone.

I believe if we resist beating ourselves up about our state of mind that we often unconsciously follow this sequence. Though I also believe once we have achieved an acceptable outcome we dismiss our past non-focus as a waste of time, making ourselves feel foolish.

We do not realize that the maelstrom of previous thought and seeming missteps was integral to manifestation.

We condemn flighty fickleness and applaud strict focus when, truly, both are needed. Perhaps if we allow ourselves to admit to, and fully embrace, both we would tread more lightly on our paths. Perhaps if we allow our much-coveted steadfastness to sway just a little we may find an easier balance. Maybe we will find continual single-mindedness unnecessary to genius.

Glitter

The road to spiritual freedom is dotted with minute pieces of glitter, glitter that from a distance can seem so enticing and intriguing.

What could it be? Is it some treasure, some rarity placed in your path by providence, waiting to be found by you?

The hope and anticipation that carries one forward to solve the mystery can raise the energy of the seeker to new heights. The thrill of something new and shiny is manna to the soul, but distance and circumstance can play tricks with perception, both optically and psychologically.

Often once the seeker has traversed the distance necessary to ascertain the truth of the glitter, that much anticipated curiosity is found, it seems, to be nothing of any true value, just a trick of the light caused by its position and that of the seekers.

’Tis true that the cosmos will place enticements along your path to spur you on to new thoughts and ways, to urge you into new circumstances that you would not normally seek, and ’tis also true not all circumstances will be what you imagined them to be, that glittering could be diamond may just turn out to be stone.

This discovery can, understandably, bring a sense of disappointment and lead some to feel they have wasted their time and allowed their yearning to fool them to truth — a very human response but unnecessary.

Think, for a moment, what your path would be like if there was nothing to capture your imagination, nothing to liven your mind.

These “tricks” of the light are not sent to annoy, they are sent to enable you to find your own truth, to encourage you to step up and look closely at all that is before you and choose whether it has value or not, and value itself is a choice, for value does not only equal material riches, value can be found in wisdom gained.

So, we ask that if the diamonds you hope for are found to be stone remember that the stone was still able to reflect back to you that which you seek, and therein lies its value.

Step lightly along your path beloved children, allow what glitters to catch your eye and pique your interest, for there is time enough for diversions on the road to freedom.

Namaste
