This post was inspired by a person going by the user name of
ShuanM865, the following link is what inspired me to right the following.
Seriousness: I have had many moments when I will smile or
laugh at myself & at first I didn’t know why, I soon found out I was taking
life way too seriously. We are brought up to take life seriously for if we
don’t we will probably end up out on the streets or even worse. This type of
existence is very hard to evade unless we live as a recluse or hermit or at least
on the streets, we are forced to make money to survive so how is one able to be
there true selves in this existence & enjoy life for what it is instead of
for what it isn’t?
What it isn’t is serious unless we want to play out a
serious dramatic life which is obvious most of us did others wise we wouldn’t
be here. Life is about enjoying
ourselves even when going through adversities the only problem is the reason we
don’t enjoy ourselves through adversities is we have allowed ourselves to
become entrapped by taking life too seriously all the time. What life is, is a game or a joke which is
what I feel when I laugh at myself out of the blue, I know at that point I’m
taking life too seriously. Like with everything balance is the key, a balance
between taking life too seriously & not seriously enough so how does one
accomplish this?
First of all don’t fear fearing, embrace fear but before we
do this we must realise who we truly are which is a very powerful being
especially when we have our guides by our sides. Many times have I been saved
by my guides when asleep & awake, in a conscious & subconscious state
so in fact we have nothing to fear but fear itself.
Learning Through Our Dreams: In my dreams I will go into the
dark looking for whatever is in there without fear or little fear & in
actual fact I don’t mind fearing because I embrace it & enjoy it for what
it is which is nothing serious just a feeling.
We must keep remembering in our dreams we are what makes our dreams if
we wish to be frightened that’s what we will be & if we fear fearing we
will be frightened of anything within the dark but also the light if it’s
something that is unpleasant in some way.
We are so often told to rid ourselves of fear but when fear comes
knocking on our door again we fear it again however by embracing fear we
actually control fear & whatever is giving us fear.
In our dreams we need to practice this, go into the darkness
realising nothing can hurt you as it’s only the fear itself than can hurt you
however don’t go into the dark with an aggressive &/or destructive attitude
as this will rebound on you very quickly.
Go into the darkness to enjoy what is in there & after a while of
doing this you will find that the darkness won’t be as dark as it was when you
feared it, when you embrace the dark you embrace fear & yes conquer it if
that is your desire.
Now for me I have more trouble in the light of my dreams
because I’m taking life too seriously still by exacerbating my daily traumas, I
don’t fear fear or the dark anymore but I do take my daily traumas too
seriously which is a part of a game I’m playing in other words I’m acting out
my chosen role in life. This is a
different fear which is of the light & yes in my dreams I have feared the
light for the main reason I usually hide in the dark away from people of the
light which is represented by my daily traumas, I’m in fact hiding from my
known visible traumas however this is what I have chosen to do to date. So how
do we get rid of our daily traumas? Do exactly the same as we did with the dark
& related fear, embrace it or accept it for what it truly is a joke,
something that we don’t have to take seriously because we are all very powerful
beings as we are the ones in control not anything else especially fear unless
we desire it so.
We can have a lot of fun in our dreams once we embrace fear,
the dark, light & our daily traumas instead of looking at them in distain
because distain breeds more fear.
Another way of breaking down fear is approaching fearful animals in our
dreams like sharks & snakes for instance, look at them not as a dangerous
animal in fear but as just another spiritual energy form & realise we are the ones who have the power. Dreams
are a very good way to break down any fears we might have through life. One other
thing with dreams is if we don’t like an outcome of a said dream change the
outcome after awakening to a more favourable outcome, this works all the time,
you can even do the same through everyday life, imagine a different outcome.
Once we embrace & take control of fear in our dreams the
skies the limit even to the extent of astral traveling all we need to remember
is we are very powerful beings in our own right & with our guides by our
sides, which everyone has, we are invincible & eventually this will filter
out into our daily lives which will help us conquer our daily traumas. The biggest trick is don’t take life overly
seriously in this lies fear, we are all meant to be enjoying life believe it or
not, not just fear it!!
Shades of Grey: Earlier
on in the year I experienced a state of consciousness that I saw everything as
shades of grey with no form this also included dead space as it too was represented
by shades of grey so what is this conscious state of shades of grey? I’m
only presuming it was a reality not just of no time& space but from wince
everything was created from as the shades of grey represented no opposing polarities
thus no conflicts of any sort & no ego tendencies. Not noticing any form
within this state because of everything was as one as it was all somehow integrated
as one also gave me the idea this is where everything evolved from, nothing at
all was opposing anything else as it was all moulded as one which I refer to as
pure consciousness.
So is this pure consciousness truly shades of grey? No, the
shades of grey we identify with while in this state of consciousness are there just
for us to identify with otherwise, especially as humans, we wouldn’t comprehend
the existence of such consciousness as we needed something to relate too but something
that wasn’t one nor the other or opposing but as one with a slight difference however
none the less as one in unison. This brings up something I read about some years
ago about a man who was propelled into a reality to be told certain things
about life itself. He was on a beach with the surf rolling back & forth
under a sun lit sky, he was told this isn’t where you are but we needed you to
be in a place you relate too otherwise you wouldn’t comprehend what is happening
& miss the messages we are about to tell you. I can’t remember the messages
he was told to relay back to us but to comprehend anything he needed a place he
could relate too which is similar to being in a conscious state of just shades
of grey as it’s still something we relate too. Why the difference to a beach & just
seeing shades of grey? Conscious awareness, the more aware one becomes the less
definition everything one has or opposing polarities one will see, this is
brought on by seeing everything as one.
In this reality we see so much opposing forms like black &
white yin & yang/male & female & so forth, they are all opposing
because that is the way we like it or wanted it to be otherwise it would be as
it’s all a part of the game/joke that we have all created for ourselves to experience
different holistic & individual realities & what a game/joke it is. This
is funny, we shouldn’t take games or jokes seriously but we take life seriously,
you have just got to wonder!!
