Building a wall of excuses

Posted on by philipdodson

Brick by brick we build our walls of excuses as to why we can not do something. Every suggestion is met by a wall of negative reasons to not do it. The mind sabotages as it perceives a risk.

It’s better to find reasons to do rather than to avoid. But that means stepping away from our mind and its ego.

This requires us to stop projecting forward, to stop focusing on the outcome, the end result. This is all involved in looking into the future and the uncertainty creates psychological fear, a thing we can not deal with now.

If we just focus on how we can start doing something now. Focusing our energies on just the first step, getting started. We will never know how anything turns out, however, we all know how to do that simple first step…the simple steps do not allow the mind to see any risk.

After all the future is unreal, so we just don’t know what will be, so worth just starting and not worrying about anything else. A series of tiny small repetitive steps create some of the most spectacular things. There is no opportunity to build a wall of excuses as we are focused and busy with lots of straightforward easy steps and we are in the moment enjoying the doing not in the mind and looking to why it won’t work.

Find a reason to build something not to build a wall of excuses to stop doing it.

The lunatics have taken over the asylum

Posted on by philipdodson

That was a lyric from a song called “The Lunatics” by Fun Boy Three.

It describes quite well our current situation as humans…how the evolution of the human ego of thousands of years has accelerated now to such a level causing us to behave in a way that is so far away from our true essence of love as human souls to an insane mind-obsessed state that most humans now spend most of their lives in. It is what we’ve become conditioned to see as normal.

We are deeply unconscious within repeating fear-based thought patterns, where if we were to be fully conscious and in the moment, we would recognise instantly the madness of our behaviour. Out light would shine onto the darkness of the mind and the collective mind.

This ego phase of the human race is all part of the growth and path, we will eventually evolve passed the ego and transcend to a conscious dimension.

The darker and more insane our human behaviour becomes, conversely, we awaken and start to see, to realise, to become aware.

We are in a stage where the human ego is fading. Light always comes from the dark, it is the balance of the universe.

So for a while, the lunatics will be running the asylum.
