As I was driving in peak hour traffic to my osteopath, a word
flashed through my mind – ‘gentleness’.
I could hear car horns, see frustrated faces mouthing
expletives and generally marveled at how many of us get into
our own angry bubble, trying to get work or appointments. It
made me ponder the harsh inner and outer world we live in
at times.
I put my indicator on to change lanes and checked my outside
rear vision mirror. As I did so, I noticed a spider web on it.
For a moment I observed the delicateness of the web and
how fragile and soft it looked, at the same time being robust
and strong enough to hold firm to the mirror as it rode
alongside me.
Do we tune in daily to that gentle, vulnerable place within
us all, or does our mind completely control us and make life
seem hard and success-focused?
What stops us from feeling our natural gentleness and
vulnerability? Is it our perceived needs and ego that drives us to achieve goals? Whether a professional athlete, banker, teacher,
cleaner, nurse, or police officer, what motivates us?
If the focus is on money, can we lose ourselves in that quest?
We could unknowingly be in an automatic loop of chasing
money whereby we start to value it beyond self and others and
make it our priority.
We could be totally unaware of how laser focused on
finances we have become. The mind is ‘booby trapped’ to
control us to believe the only way we can be free is to have
financial and physical security.
Money is a piece of paper with a number on it that we
physically exchange. Real value and self-worth comes from
the exchange of our heart resonance energy which is priceless.
We have all contributed to creating a physical collective
that totally relies upon money. It’s not that we can’t have a
lot of money, it’s the myopic importance we place on it that
is the problem.
What if instead of money we replaced the word with ‘love’?
Do we share our love or keep it to ourselves to accumulate, so
we can have as much as possible to spend on buying something
or someone, so we can ‘own’ it, or them?
We are now living in a time where money is controlling
the world. Maybe if each of us took it off the top of our own
pile, it would dismantle the harsh world-wide money web and
through being vulnerable and dismantling our own illusion,
we’d find the wealth of our true worth?
I hope so!
Love Jilly
