Getting back to You

How do you take control of your life? I don't mean by sorting out your financial or relationship problems, or by running away from whatever it is that is worrying you. I don't mean by administering the grip of an iron hand over everything that you do, to make sure that it works and that everything falls into place and so you are in 'control'.

This is not control, it is the mirage The System has trained us to operate by. It has little to do with controlling your life, more with establishing a comfort level within you that everything is 'O.K.', that you are successful, that your life is validated, worth something.

And yet, is it?

If you could push all the problems The System of Life throws at you everyday aside, what would you do? Would you know what to do? If you were still operating under The System's influence you might go to Vegas, or Rio, or London, or Paris. This is not what I mean. I mean how would you live your life if there was not one single daily problem coming your way?

Would you know how to live it?

You would have to face yourself and work out what your life should be about if The System was no longer dictating to it. You would have to face the reality that the life you have been given, hanging by such a slender thread, is really all you have and you would have to look inwards and question yourself about how you should really be living it.

Most people find this idea frightening, they are afraid to look inside because it is an unknown place and they fear not knowing what to do if they look there, proving that they are not in control of their lives. To them it is unacceptable that there could be anything else but the daily grind that is meted out to them. They dote on what everyone else does or tells them to do - within The System. Above all things they want to be accepted, to feel a part of things, to be loved. They do not understand that their lives are really about themselves just as your life is really about yourself, about your spirituality, about your mission here upon the Earth, about how you are going to make your life worthwhile and if you have never questioned yourself about these things and about how you might go about them, you are missing out on the greatest adventure of all.

Getting back to the real You is the way to release yourself from The System's hold. Examining what you want to do with your life, why you might be here, how you could help others by giving of yourself and how you could banish hate, fear and anger will start you on the journey of rediscovering yourself.
