As we continue the course of awakening, many things are brought forth upon us. Certain needs, lusts, cares and thoughts; these are in actuality our body reacting to the positive reinforcement we are showering it with. A sad fact of our modern day is simply that most people are so in touch with rushing by the world to get where they are going, that at the time they get there; all they’ve experienced is the rush of passing all the good things by. When we learn to control our pace of life, we begin to experience a greater need for taking time out for ourselves; so we may understand life for what it truly is, as opposed to simply going with the unnatural paths so many take.

People are taught as they grow to dislike certain words, and to relish the warmth others give them; they are taught these mostly through personal experience and from people who influence their minds by their own experiences. The sad but truthful fact of modern education is that no matter how logical or factual the simplistic teachings may seem, experience and emotional properties are always brought into the picture by the instructor. We cannot rely on the teachings of others, if the others are clouded by personal interference, self motivation; or hold any true assuredness of ignorance within them. Read the rest of this entry »
