1. Material Love
November 1, 2013
Rich or poor, makes no difference in finding ways to avoid or dumb down to
insufficient love in your life. One of the ways, regardless of wealth, is to be addicted
to getting ʻthingsʼ, or the denial thereof. What do they REALLY do for you that more
love in your life doesnʼt have? The answer is that they are a substitute for more
love. Deep love for most doesnʼt come easy, and not that the ʻgoodies you wantʼ
always come easier either, and without sacrifices including seeing them disappear.
The material, and usually itʼs thrill of obtaining, always disappears or fades in importance.
Love on the other hand, only disappears in your mind that chooses to recognize that itʼs always there in
your heart or not. People have infinite love within, but due to the mind in conjunction with the heart, most
of it will lay as dormant, not used energy! Abracadabra, and the heart opens spilling the glistening feelings
of joy and bliss, but only if you are in tune with the relaxing harmonious positioning to life.
Itʼs easy to avoid the emotional, spiritual, conscious meanings of life by chasing and/or acquiring other
things, including of course more wealth. While working in Manhattan (NYC) for 20 years, and keeping
open to seeking spiritual riches as well as the material ones, I began to enjoy the material quest, and
maybe more. Then, the next day after Christmas, I sat on my 40th floor balcony over looking Central Park
and the thousands of tall buildings when an epiphany came to me. Time to walk away! I could see that
everyone I knew were getting wealthier too, and often moving to upscale homes in
the ʻbedroomʼ class communities. That takes years more of
support to pay for the toys which are wonderful, but leaving
no time for evolving the inner aspects.
Most around my circle were continuing to march in similar
step to a life dedicated to making more, buying more, and
avoiding the journey to the deeper things in life. Likely they
had little idea beyond having to work, and buy more to lead
the ʻAmerican dreamʼ that they couldnʼt see itʼs called a
ʻdreamʼ because thatʼs what it is! ʻNew thingsʼ are nice, but
when they are lifeʼs priority, there will always be a ʻgapʼ
between them and your inner spiritual, conscious self. That
attitude multiplied by the many, rich or poor, contributes to a world of sheeple who
are controlled by their material desires. Those who choose the path of ʻloveʼ with the accompanying
awareness raise not only their light but the light of humanity which has been in the dark blindness of all
history. Time to stop sidestepping love be it loneliness or fear.
Itʼs a new world that repeats being new faster and faster, and mostly through technological marvels. The
technological growth is growing at such a fast pace while humanity is evolving at the pace of a turtle.
Inevitably, human inner growth will suffer more and more as barriers or distractions continue to de-elevate
or dumb down humans to lower sheeple, zombies, or robots. Be a light to yourself, love,
and the evolving consciousness of the world. Call it ʻgiving backʼ for the blessing of
being here at this moment.
