The Faux Pas Press #181: Karmic Advantage



Finding stillness in the Mind is an important part of wellness. Not talking about the brain and all of its functions. Talking about the ever-expanding network of hearts linked in the collection, processing, and dissemination of spirit juice. (Why do I use terms that make no sense?) I am talking about a spirit substance fueled by our thinking and our emoting day in and day out. This substance, forever linked to people, places, and things, keeps us either trapped, emoting and thinking in the same derogatory ways, an analog tape repeating our mishaps, or liberated by the redeeming power of new fuel, speeding energy along the Silk Road to aid us in the desert. This is true for all places no matter how desolate.

Afghanistan has been seen by many observers in the Mind, been seen in the Ocean of Consciousness, and the emoting and thinking of a few, both here in Central Asia and in places like it, have fueled the dismal energy that lurks around. These few leave a silent majority in lack; this majority left to deal with psychic vampirism and residual of bad programming. Resources are limited and dreaming is limited too. Those who choose to think uniquely are not rewarded by custom and find a life of continued challenge to break free.

So then, the karmic problem of geographical advantage and disadvantage ensues. And millions live and die having never had the chance to glean the ocean. And we in the West transform our perspectives day in and day out through violent and efficient action; we find ourselves advantaged by people, places, and things, but these advantages are not what make up the substance of our lives. Do we sit in the wake of some karmic advantage? Our position in organizations of awards and punishments does not account for the substance of our lives. Kind words, spoken to our thirsty ears, as awesome and healing as they can be, do not necessarily pave the ultimate pathway. And as awful as the circumstances appear, the destiny of individuals is not determined by circumstance. Stillness can be found in any prison. Stillness starts with a surrender to the Ultimate and an acceptance of vibrant life within.

Our troubles are attributed to the fuel of this spirit juice. Our relationship to our thoughts, our relationship to this perpetual emoting determine the wellness of which I speak. I have been taking action daily in the direction of good results for others. I can change the way that I do business. My family will draw near as I draw near. My desired physical prowess draws near. It seeks me. My financial goals seek me as I seek them. The real-life return to dreams happens. And my peace is a constant as I cultivate it. Life and death, ones and zeroes in the programs we write; the consistent application of thinking and emoting produces the miracles we need to write the programs we all need.
