Love The Present

Hello beautiful family. I hope you are having a fortuitous and loving day. These days it seems that more tend to focus on what is going wrong than what is going right. Though positive reflection is a key component to positive reverberation, separating the two as to wrong and right is still a distractive mechanism. The idea is to try and just be present. No need to put a definitive choke hold on to the way we see events playing out in our lives versus the way we wish they would play out in our lives. This has been ingrained into our thinking patterns. This is another manifestation of egoic response. By not just “BEING” in the present, we are missing out on the synchronicity of universal signals of guidance. I do completely understand that when things are tough or when things are not “going our way”, it may be challenging to understand we need to take a step back and just be. There is a reason why this is happening. Instead of trying to control for a specific outcome, try and just be, try and just flow.

The fight or flight mechanism has been indoctrinated into us all from the time of infancy. This is a coping mechanism for things out of our “control”. This is instilled in our neurological synapses from even while in the womb. As we grow into adults, these traumas stay with us because most were never taught to address them. Most were told to swallow their feelings and just move on. There is some truth to this action, however only a half truth. It is a good practice to not worry about about things beyond our control, because this only will have detrimental effects on our person. It can lead to depression, anxiety, anger and many other non beneficial states in our existence. The part that was left out is truly being in the situation where control was challenged. If we look at why we are challenged, we can begin to see that there may just be a reason why we are not supposed to have it a certain way at that certain time.

I myself have been dealing with quite a lot of situations that have completely reshaped any resemblance of what most would deem “control” of their lives. Many when faced with these challenges would become frustrated and angry. I know that these perceptions serve no purpose as to understanding a situation. I try to stay in the mind state of flowing with each obstacle that arises and not trying to fight it. It saves energy to be directed toward appreciation and gratitude for the present. It is not what is going “wrong”, it is what is going. I am being present in my lesson and appreciative of the perspectives I am gaining from forced situations. I am not trying to control outcomes, and I have become malleable like a lump of clay, adapting to new scenarios. I know that when all this plays out, I am being molded into a master crafted sculpture. I may not understand fully why I am facing these things, but that is not really the point. The point is I am facing these extenuating circumstances. My life is changing as it needs to change for the greater perspective, but I remain present in the change.

Often times when we fight for control over a situation, we are missing the signs that there is a bigger perspective going on. Learning to flow with what we face, teaches us so much about our place in this existence. We are not in control of the direction of the river of life. Sometimes, the river will take a sudden drop in the form of a beautiful waterfall. The water still stays consistent as it collects itself together at the bottom and continues to flow. Now the river has a change of scenery but it is still a river. The elevation changed, but by doing so, it opened up a whole new level to branch out and flow. It feeds new flora and fauna. New life is birthed everywhere. Sometimes the flow has blocks and obstacles along the way, but that does not stop the flow of the river. I do not see myself as a salmon. I am not trying to swim upstream against the current. I am being present, being thankful for my trials, obstacles, and tests. I know that wherever my river is going, what is happening to me right now is part of the architectural blueprints laid out to get where I need to go.

There is so much fighting these days. Seems like everywhere you look, division is being forced on most aspects of life. Everyone is offended about something someone said. This group over here are in conflict with that group over there. Why? It is because humans have separated themselves from human BEING. We are designed to be. When you add the “ing” to it, that denotes and action in the present. Be in the present. Your present. Your gift. It is not up to anyone to decided if someone likes them, or agrees with them. It does not matter if what someone says or does offends you. Be you and that is all that matters. Stop trying to control perspectives. Be perspective. Stop trying to expect that people need to understand how you see yourself. This is ludicrous. A mirror cannot see itself. Everyone is allowed to think, feel, say and believe what they like, regardless if you agree or not. All this conflict is over control of perception. This is a futile gesture. How you see yourself is all that matters. How others see you is of no consequence. Do not force your perception on others.

We are supposed to be a unified collective. This does not mean that all perspectives are unified. That would take character out of the mixture. The unity comes in love for our fellow brothers and sisters. The unity comes in understanding that people will not always see eye to eye and that is okay. The unity comes in knowing regardless of our beliefs, we are a cosmic family, on a cosmic journey together. Unity comes in flowing in the present and being empathetic of the individual paths one traveled to get there. We are the river, we are all flowing wherever it leads and facing whatever obstacles arise in the process together.

Just be grateful for your cosmic family. Love everyone regardless of race or creed. Love truly is the way to unity. Love your tribulations as much as your triumphs. Love is our greatest teacher, and if we follow its flow, we will all get to where we need to go. I love all of you very deeply. You are beautiful, powerful, and compassionate. I think about you and send you all love and healing energy everyday. You are all very important to me and in case no one told you today, you are all exquisitely divine. I will never stop believing in love because that would mean I would stop believing in myself. We are all connected, we are all one, we are love.
