Written by Mathew Naismith
The dust stirs up around me when I walk which obscures my
view to some extent however if I had my head still stuck in the clouds the
clouds would most definitely obscure my view plus the consistent moisture would
stupefy any awareness that was still left in me.
The moral of the anecdote is it’s much wiser to suffer
choking dust & still be aware of what’s going on around you than to stick
ones head in the clouds thus obscuring all what one was aware of.
Human existence is like the choking dust and the clouds
represent a supposed better existence than human existence. One must always be careful of what the ego
desires, moist fluffy clouds to dust!!
This was inspired by how glossy and showy spiritual
awareness seems to have become to me. Desire seems to be out stripping the
basic fundamental principles of spirituality turning it into a side show. I'm
sure Buddha and Jesus wouldn't have been attracted by such glamorous desires.
When a showy post can out rank a less showier post with far better messages
attached to them, I can see the dark egotist ages returning.
People like Jesus and Buddha made obvious sacrifices to assist
the collective, desiring glamour over and above the good of the collective wasn’t
a part of their being. The funniest
thing is I don’t think they saw it as a sacrifice but a pleasure to serve the
collective as we all should if we are truly spiritually aware however, as
always, I could be very wrong in this.
