Distraction has always been the greatest weapon of control.
You’re either observing reality or you’re creating it. You’re absolutely never doing both. It’s fine to be aware of what’s going on in the world. But if you give all your attention to it, not only are you not giving your attention to your own life, but you’re also not changing anything about the world. Which is ironically the main reason most people give for being so into politics in the first place.
And I get it. I was a Political Economy major in undergrad and there was a time I seriously considered giving my whole life to politics. That was back when I wanted to be a lawyer. And don’t get me wrong, we need the right people in politics too. So on the face of it, there’s nothing wrong with that.
But there’s a deeper truth I’ve learned since that time: in order to change the world, we have to change ourselves. This sounds easy on the surface, but it’s not. Because we have to change ourselves from the inside out and because if you commit deeply to this work, it really never ends. So you don’t have time for distractions.
I know this reality is very compelling. And I know there are many things wrong with it. And that right there is actually all the more reason to do the inner work. Because that’s truly the only way to shift, alchemize, bend and alter the reality we perceive and experience.
There are so many beautiful people doing so many amazing things in this world. There are so many animals waiting for you to truly see and honor them. There are so many children waiting for your warm embrace. There are so many beautiful frequencies and realms available to us while we are here in this physical body. So many beautiful places God has created for us to see.
So yes, acknowledge what you don’t like about the world. But make sure you use these things to fuel your passions, not your criticisms and observations. And let them be YOUR passions. Let them extend beyond your television screen or the device in your hand. Don’t give into the temptation of distraction. It will rob you of everything you came here to be.
To our collective remembering,
