What Are People Really Doing and Why ?

[gruntal]

I have wondered if one could reach a point where they had a goal, an outlook, actually a very self definition of being that shaped their life. But they could not or chose not to even talk about it.

I realize that borders on the fringe of mental illness. You meet some people at the store, you shake their hand; never knowing you were a robot disguised as a human being bent on having them for lunch. Literally. I guess to some people it might be very disappointing there are no dragons; no extra terrestrials; no psychic abilities, no absolutes, no dreams; the moon landing was all staged and the earth really is flat.

Oops I seem to have gotten carried away. Some of this is real. And some of it is not. But what? And how can you tell?

Which brings us back to the beginning. People have something they believe in. About you and about themselves. It effects how they view the world and how they treat it. It isn't obvious at first glance when you are around them. You might be frightened  if you knew what was going on inside people's heads.

Or you might be very pleased. Even stunned. Even ecstatic.

People ask me about my spiritual specialty or how long I have been on the path or what I have discovered. I am a spiritual troglodyte. I really have nothing to tell although I have heard some amazing things. Sort of like what if you could have a lucid dream with the Master Jesus. I had no answer, no argument, no observation to offer about what I heard. My whole thought process had to change to make sense of it. When it did I seemed drawn to something. For once in my life there was a purpose beyond self preservation.

Well maybe some day. I am definitely in a stage of transition. I do wonder though. What it would be like to do this full time. And know it was going to come to pass. That would be quite a thing to live for.  Especially if I knew it would be better to keep it a secret but to a select few. As for now I am not sure how much I even want myself to know.  I do try to smile even when I do not feel like it.

You do wonder though. People you meet. They smile.  And what is beyond that smile ?!  What are they up to?

You know, George, sometimes I think we can spend Entirely too much time in our heads We miss what’s going on all Around us, and I know it, having spent so Much time ‘in my head’ that way.

I’ve said it before, but I can pass a property during my walks that is being developed commercially…maybe a new shopping center...and not even Notice it. I’ve not been paying Attention, see, so it could be mostly Finished before I even see it’s no longer a vacant lot! The work was already being Done, but I was not Aware of it, see?


And once we become aware of something, it’s nearly impossible to ignore, from then on….we continue to See it, and wonder
about the implications; how it might affect Us; what part we play in all this. We wonder when it happened, and who is in charge; we notice Others who are involved in it, and we wonder about Them, too. We wonder, how long will it last? How will it effect the Greater Community? So many things….

Eventually we realize these kinds of changes have been taking place over and over, in life and evolution. Yet we recognize that it is no coincidence that the ‘development of this shopping center’ is Now, and We are Now. What will We do with this awareness? (this is an analogy; we're not Really talking about shopping centers, are we? *smile*)


The people you meet are smiling for many reasons, George Perhaps they are smiling because they have a financial interest in the shopping center. Perhaps they are smiling because their group will be holding a protest of the development later that same day. Perhaps their smile is in ignorance of the development, but still they have a Secret that spills over from their heart onto their face

Perhaps they see something in your Own face that causes them to smile in recognition and gratitude namaste, george.

"It is suggested" the shopping center may have been built to host a cafe where at some point in time a person would walk in for a snack and meet another person that was to become a partner pivotal in some future evolution of the human experience. Did the carpenters that built a certain small animal enclosure realize they were constructing the future birthing place of the Master Jesus? How many quintessential tales are there of people rudely thrown off their flight or bus or ship that later crashed and burned?

And even if you knew that would you tell anyone? Who would believe you at the time? What would be their reaction if you even tried to be the prophet ?

The hardest thing about this is to accept it is NOT a coincidence. If so what if anything is our part going to be in all this?

And is the Devine we seek for real and if so are we inadvertently fighting it when we fail to realize the long term goals? I keep asking myself how much I believe - and if I deny the power behind it.
