I'm BACK!
I have been away so long. Life does get away from us (me). So much has changed in the past 2 years. But, then again, it has been said that change IS the only constant in the universe. (Boy, that's the kind of thing I wish I had said.)
I was a "high ranking" banker for the past 2 years and now I am not. So what I'm doing is; I am going to use this space to help myself, and anyone who wants to come along, try and find answers to some of the bigger questions I have on Life and the nature of reality (perception).
We are all alone in our personal uni-verses. We filter all of our current experiences through our past experiences, so no one will or can see or feel the exact same way as you (I) do about anything that happens. There are many things that are out of our direct control, so the only thing we can do is to control how we react to them. THIS is how we are the co-creators of our uni-verse in this post-manifested world we are living in.
One of the realizations I have had is that it helps from time to time if you (I) take "inventory" of our feelings, emotions and perceptions. Do they still work for us? Is how we are reacting to something the way a person with our maturity and experience level should react? Or are we coming at a situation with the same mindset we did as an adolescent, or worse, a toddler? Does our response paradigm serve us and help us in life, or is it time to examine this paradigm and adjust it to our "selves"?
Does it bring you closer to the "inner-peace" we seek?
This is not a daily, weekly or monthly practice. It is a constant state of being. Ever diligent.
Sort of like sailing a boat. Plan your journey. Set your destination. Set your course. Check your position regularly. Course correct as needed. Arrive safely.
Till next time...
