In order to be loved, you must first prove yourself worthy … right?

In order to be approved of, you must wade into the shuffling horde and discover that secret path to prosperity that somehow is eluding everyone else … that’s just common sense!

In order for your life to have meaning, you must become the person that is anyone BUT you … you must somehow amalgamate every positive trait from every hero or guide along the way (but none of their negative traits) while simultaneously sifting through your own inner psyche to do the same … it’s simple really; all the great ones do it.

For any who have not sensed the tongue forcefully thrust against cheek … well, now you know.  Doesn’t all of that sound completely ridiculous?? Yet that is what we subconsciously whisper to ourselves every hour of every day; in some form or another.  ANY time you believe such things you are living life with your heart closed.  Every time you buy into this fraudulent model imposed upon the masses … you are living somebody else’s life; or rather the life that they want you to live.

Unfortunately, there are a great many people that believe the meaning of life lies in gaining as much junk as they can, or gaining power over as many people’s minds as they can.  Their sole purpose in life is to gain more of whatever their personal drug of choice is … when your heart is open, you see those people for what they are … spiritually dead.  Their heart is SO closed that it has been locked inside a vault and the key thrown away.  There isn’t a lot of hope for them, although nothing is impossible … but that doesn’t mean that you have to buy into their way of living simply because they sniff obsequiously down their noses at you for not buying into their charade.

When you dare to live with your heart wide open … things come as a surprise to you, all the time!  You could be ruminating on topics of philosophical purport when suddenly someone crosses your path that completely changes the course of your entire day … perhaps even your entire life … and your totally good with that.  Not only is that okay, it becomes something wonderful … something magical.

Having your heart open doesn’t mean you get nothing done … it just means that you are open to wherever the Universe guides you; wherever God prompts your intuition to go.  You can work diligently, and be successful at what you do … but when you get caught up in the model, you are no longer following that inner, childlike curiosity that actually trusts something as innocent as intuition.  We lose that in SO many ways … but ultimately it all comes down to one, single thing: we allowed our hearts to close.

Break the model.  Dance crazily in the rain.  Allow the walls of those imposed structures to simply fall away.  Meditatively cause your heart to bloom … and let that garden overwhelm such constrictive restraints.  Dare to look at someone and see them for who they really are … a beautiful creation capable of amazing acts of love … instead of seeing the mirage of the model they hope to duplicate.  Be contagious … be a conduit of Love … show them that they too can let go if they want to … if they choose to … but you can’t make them, so never try … just show, and love, and be as blazingly wide open as you were created to be … to everyone … everywhere.

THAT is the meaning of life.

Peace and Love.
