Signs, Symbols, and Self-Indulgence

By Chambo Fresh

Disclosure. Our cosmic awareness bridled with sensual discipline in the transference of information from one avatar to another. Our heaviest of circumstances, the growth and welfare of others, and liberation of the guilty conscience. We've got the best of motives. We're thinking of you of course when disclosure becomes a "necessary evil". But our relationship to others, the Living, those who may not have chosen wisely or those who may have it all together. Our disclosure of secret information to another is part of rebooting our own systems. These new programs teach us that there is one main consideration we ought to take into account. Will this information we are sharing update positively or negatively the hardware of another soul, avatar, creation, etc.? When we make amends, beginning with our own honest survey of the system, do we consider the growth and welfare of others? This may not be the best way to propagate fear through out but it is the way of consciousness.

We can hardly disclose in great detail the nature of extramarital affairs, for example, on the shoulders of an unsuspecting wife or husband. When we do this, thinking that our disclosure is actually helping the growth of our beloved, we recklessly make the burdens of others heavier - this, in turn, does in no way make our burden lighter. "Telling all" sometimes is a sign of our own self-indulgence, a symbol that we are not as far along the Road Less-Traveled as we thought. In making amends, we ought to consider this - tact, humility, and compassion. Employing the art of listening - really listening to what one is saying. Or, we can simply try to escape the treacherous and unforgiving Terrain of Now and find ourselves even more lost than we have been.

Standing on our own feet, without the approval of anyone else requires that cosmic awareness with sensual discipline. A simplicity so to speak. That old, neurotic self-hatred has nothing to do with helping others. Making our exploits the center piece of the conversational table does not promote growth. It is acting - it is self-indulgence which, as a result, keeps outdated programs running their course. Seek out the guidance of a trusted ally while braving the deep Ocean of Consciousness. Doing so will result in a mature balance with interpersonal relationships - even in the most fragile ones. We are not the heroes of our own grief - we are the heroes that lift the grief of others by being kind to ourselves. Disclosing what a Shit Bird I have been to every, living soul is just plain neurotic.
