Choose Your Thoughts Wisely

It seems we as people have more control over our thoughts than maybe we would like to think. Or not to think, as the case may be. Where it is easier perhaps to believe that we are just passengers, beholden to a working mechanism that is toiling away in the background and reaching conclusions we pretend we are not party to. Just at the mercy of them and their consequences. An easy way to sidestep responsibility of thought or action, and although there is a certain level of subconscious workings that we are not fully aware of, there are also very clear and conscious processes we are aware of, and sometimes don’t always want to admit to. Where people can hide behind themselves, or get Stuck in Mind as they say, and will not step out of themselves for a moment to reflect.

But I always believed that thoughts start from somewhere, that they don’t ‘just appear’ as they seem to on occasion, and there is always A Train of Thought to an idea or belief. And like with trains, they have a starting point before meandering or speeding through various landscapes and terrain, picking up and dropping off characters until reaching the ‘station’ or conclusion. Just as a thought might until it terminates and is no longer relevant.

Do people give much thought to where their thoughts, motives, ideas and beliefs really come from? And where do they go? How they manoeuvre through your psyche, either taking hold and getting comfortable, or slipping through and dissolving into the beyond. And if they do take hold, how do they manifest? Are they out in the open to you and get to be explored freely? Or are they hidden in the back, festering and taking on a life of their own, not really being noted until triggered or brought forth by circumstance.

I try and articulate many of my thoughts and ideas, and sometimes how I believe they occurred, like in Be Mindful of the Labyrinth, talking of how we can capture ourselves sometimes in our own illusion. And of course, we can allow ourselves to be captured by someone else’s, often perhaps not quite aware of what we are doing or how to ‘know your own mind’ as one might say. Because as others sail along looking for ballast and crew for their Narciship, your thoughts and where they lead, are of utmost importance, because they can affect real life change if put into action. For better and for worse.

Because thoughts can create realities, as mentioned in Creating a Nightmare Reality, and that in society we as people are all going through life experience Separate Realities to one another. Where we converge in a shared version, where it appeared we were in a certain level of agreement on what we called ‘reality’. Not so much in agreement anymore though it seems, and perhaps some of the things that were just In Your Head, should well have stayed there. But even there they aren’t completely confined to that field, sometimes able to wander and influence from afar, because the power of thought should not be overlooked as we have seen it can be used to great effect. So, taking control of and being responsible for what is in mind seems paramount these days, remember, be mindful of your thoughts…

Spoilt Brats

We seem to have rather a large number of them now, but not children as the original term denotes, although of them there are a few no doubt. But the number of adults who are behaving like spoilt brats is astounding, and I use the term adult there loosely, because it is a very immature and juvenile group that have moved themselves into position. With An Attitude of Entitlement taking the helm in many a quarter.

Politicians and their Endless Pot of Resources that they keep topping up, making sure your money is No Longer Yours and becomes theirs, and that they always have their hands In Your Pocket, so that they can continue in their quest of Holding Us Back.

People on benefits, and just a general attitude of me, me, me, more, more, more. Which will get worse no doubt as they try to raid anyone they can, and if you keep taking it usually leads to one of two things. Either what you are taking runs out, or where you are taking it from withdraws access. And we now see that’s probably why it was so important to them to make sure people were tied in through intermediaries, so that you are aren’t entirely able to just cut them out of the loop. Clearly in previous more cash-based times, it would have been much easier. Hence why they needed all those middlemen mentioned in Who’s That Trip Trapping On My Bridge, a multi-level system that can’t just be stopped. Imagine a shop, just one premises, just one product and it does ok. But then something happens and it turns out the shop has gone rogue, either by way of shoddy service, goods or a problem, so it needs to be shut. People avoid it, trade drops and it goes bust by way of ‘natural selection’ in the commercial world. Or at least that’s what should happen, things being allowed to run their course and end up where they were meant to through action and consequence.

However, things aren’t allowed to run their natural course, because while that shop was being deceitful, it opened another branch so it could shift responsibility. And then another so that it could get ahead of the talk and create an image of respectability, rather than actually being respectable. That happens a lot with people, they would rather been seen to be doing something than actually doing it, often spending just as much time and effort on the illusion that they would have if they done it for real. Funny and sad in equal measure.

But it is not just time they are spending now, it’s actually people’s money, which they ‘spend’ their time earning, and the government ‘spend’ time and money trying to convince you they are necessary and need more of it. That elaborate set-up is starting to fray at the edges somewhat now it seems, with so many greedy fingers in the pot and money being chucked at everything except what it was appropriated for, it’s being emptied faster than it can be refilled. And that can be said of people’s tolerance and patience as well, that there is only so much people can take, and overlook and excuse before you run out of both. And it really does seem as though that’s what they are pushing for, that the people ‘lose their rag and kick off’ or whatever they want to happen, moving all the pieces into position for the next phase…
