Random Thoughts in a Brain that Won’t Quit

Some days, the brain is over active and random thoughts speed through. A “squirrel!” moment if you will. These are some of those thoughts.

Use your time here in this physical experience for good. Do not get bogged down in the fear and judgment of “things”.

Treat others how you would want to be treated.
Criticism and harsh words are a powerful trigger to those who are on the receiving end of them.
How would you feel if cruel words were thrown in your direction?

What often triggers an emotional response in you due to the actions of another, are really a mirror of what you see in yourself.
What? How indignant are you at this moment? It’s true! think about it!

It is my belief that each soul/Divine spark chooses this physical experience to learn something. Often, the lesson is not about rainbows and unicorns.

Some choose to use what are considered the more negative aspects of humanity- violence, hate, anger, fear, ego, power, and greed– to create their experience. Others choose to take on challenges, be it physical, emotional or spiritual, in order to have this experience. Still others are drawn to the light and choose to live their lives in the service of gratitude, altruism, compassion and understanding.

This is often referred to as Yin and Yang, where opposites interact and through this interaction achieve a state of balance.

Sometimes, there is an imbalance which needs to be corrected. Today, so many conflicts face us every day, whether it is politics, environmental issues, people who assert power and greed for their own gain, violence, shaming and bullying behind the anonymity of a computer keyboard, hate, anger, fear, frustration….and the list goes on.

Our physical realm is not in balance. We allow these conflicts to affect us in such a way that we become part of them. We focus on them. We talk to our friends about an issue and all the while our blood pressure rises and we get more passionate about the issue, which often leads to anger (the friends or our own). Often in this state, insults are traded and in the end, both walk away so very angry and hurt.

We rail against everything! Complaints run rampant. We fuss, curse, beat our hands on the desk. ALL of this is energy being released into the universe. What kind of energy? Negative, fearful, egotistical, violent, hateful………. and, the Universe gives us more.

We share things we “think” are funny on social media……..memes that complain about “Stupid” people, boyfriends who misbehave complete with a picture of a gun as the answer (wth?), complaints on every type of person who has done something believed to be silly or ridiculous in a way which could be seen as offensive to the person who did it.

So what can be done? These people have chosen their experiences and it is not for me or anyone really to tell them any different.

Here is what can be done.

Hold the door open for a stranger. Send a handwritten note to someone just to say “hi”. For every negative, non productive action you see, BECOME the opposite positive action. This is an exercise in awareness in love and helps to achieve a more balanced energy.

Each person will make a choice how to proceed. it is not for you to accuse anyone of putting their head in the sand. Instead, try sharing that you honor and respect their choices. Period.

In the physical, we are separate, in the Divine Source that is unconditional love, we are one. There is no separation. So, every time you look at someone doing a bad thing remember, they are part and parcel of the one, just like you are, no matter how heinous they act.
