There isn’t much that I haven’t already said. There isn’t all that much that life hasn’t already taught you. But, ah, the distance between the mind and the living of what you learn and gain insights to.
 
Technically, you already know enough. You know better than to lose your cool, yet you lose your cool. You know better than to try to control life and others. You really do. And, yet, here you are, perhaps controlling and bossing others around all over the place.
 
We come back to letting go. We come back to finding yourself. We come back to letting ego go. We come back to forgetting. You haven’t forgotten your ego personality, and so you cling to what the world says and does and convinces you to do.
 
You are not someone who would deliberately give lip service to the idea of giving love and not owning others, and yet, that’s what you may find yourself doing. You may feel a preponderance of your due place in the world being dishonored, and honor and its friend ego become supremely important, and so you throw your cool out the window for ego’s sake.
 
There is so much to let go of. There is so much for you to let go of because you fear giving up something valuable to you, even as your little ego and disputed honor and so on aren’t worth much.
 

We live in a time where our appearance is responsible for how people view our authenticity, how we view ourselves,  and how we function within society.

Where spending more time and focus on your appearance, at the expense of other aspects of self and personality; is a normal occurrence.  Where our value is based on the likes we receive on the internet, where adolescence are failing to engage in the classroom due to fearing attention for how they look.

It is the norm to experience the objectification of women and even men as we have become conditioned by the way we view our self vs. how we actually look.

By Wes Annac, The Culture of Awareness

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how the choices we make can affect our lives for better or worse.

There’s a force on this planet that wants us to make choices that keep us unhealthy and unaware of the spiritual realities that exist just beyond our conscious perception, and the last thing this force wants is for us to become conscious.

Awareness is the last thing the ‘powers that be’ want for humanity, and they want us to be lazy consumers who don’t know enough not to sit on our couches, watch TV and eat bad food all day long (when we aren’t slaving away at a dead end job that benefits them).
