I hope you can hear me. If not, there's nothing wrong with that. Maybe you can see me, or sense my presence. I know you may not be able to see me though. That is okay too. Sight is not everything. I want you to see beyond what your eyes see. I want you to hear not just words but hear thoughts. I know that sounds tough. I know that you do not want to trust feelings. I know that the senses we have were made for a reason.
There are more than just five, though. I don't have a number but, let me tell you, it is way more than five. Sense them out! Search for them. When you use them you will see more than you have seen. Wake up! Greet the world around you with a fresh face! Don't put on yesterday's smile or frown. Create a new image that is yourself and always will be.
What am I getting at? Where are we going with this?
I see so many unhappy people every day who are blind as to why they are suffering. They are forgetting what it's all about. They are caught up in their sports brackets, their jobs, the traffic, the nightly news, the race against the clock. It is maddening. Whether one makes the next red light or not does not determine greatness. Sitting on the corner day after day with a sign will not change the amount of change you receive.
Have people forgotten what makes us human?
Have we lost how to to care for each other beyond the material world?
Where did humanity go?
It's here. I can see it. You have seen it.
Half the time though it seems that a blanket has been pulled over the head of humanity.
It's ears covered by hands.
It's mouth clasped shut.
It's hands tied behind the back.
ENOUGH!
These restraints were created. They can be destroyed.
They are an illusion above all.
Being closed does not mean that you are protected.
The only way to live, is to be open.
Freedom has no locks on it's doors.
Do doors even exist there?
What is the fundamental feeling that matters at the end of the day?
LOVE
Love of what?
Does it matter?
Love in the sense of peace; of joy, of art, of life!
To know that you are just one element of a universe of elements.
That we are all created equally and humbly as elements inside a star.
That everything happens for a reason but we will not always know the answers...
exhale.
Does that scuff on your favorite pair of shoes really mean that they are bad?
So what, the wind blew your hair the opposite of how you combed it?
You dropped you phone and now the screen has a crack.
I do not give a single ****!
You should not either!
Be grateful for all the wondrous life around you!
That you are a conscious person who is capable of so many incredible things!
Know that love is not just sex and romance. Love is a quality of the universe. It is something that can be felt by more than just human touch. It can be seen, heard, felt, remembered, imagined, consumed, tasted, smelt, channeled, sung, the list is endless.
Love is an energy that sits with sentients above all other energies.
Just as in Interstellar, Love truly does transcend time and space.
Do we need to know how or why?
Probably not.
We will know someday.
I haven't the slightest doubt we'll figure it out.
In the meantime...
Love yourself!
Please please please!
Love yourself!
Love the world around you!
Love yourself!
Don't hate on the negatives!
That will only create more!
Love yourself!
Understand that in the end, all you will ever truly need, is Love.
