Down side Up!

Some thoughts can be quite menacing! In a world where it's difficult to tell truth from fiction(people lose themselves in movies cause they can't seem to trust the news) Hollywood gets a bigger audience than CNN. seems the world is upside down doesn't it? Criminals roams the streets freely while decent citizens cage themselves behind bars.

Did you get a chance to catch Constantine? Meet John Constantine(Keanu Reeves) Returned suicide "victim" turned demon slayer trying to earn his way into heaven. Appears Gabriel pulling his strings trying to bring about the end of the world and John needs to call in the devil to set things right.

Gabriel: If sweet, sweet God loves you so, then I will make you worthy of His love. But it's only in the face of horror that you truly find your noble self. And you can be so noble. So... I will bring you pain, I will bring you horror. So that you may rise above it. So that those of you who will survive this reign of hell on earth will be worthy of God's love.

Erie as the thought may be, it got me to thinking. In the face of eminent death even the worst of us calls on a power outside of ourselves. And in that moment, in that instant you can see our souls. But give us riches beyond measure and watch us fight, squabble murder, deceive and whatever else we can do so that we may possess it.
What is it that is in us that causes us to be this way? There is great and powerful good in us, All of us, yet we can only unearth it in the direst of circumstances. Is there a place inside us that we can get to, to bring out the good inside us? Or must we all walk through the fire so that we may truly be all we can?
What is the crucible that you must go through so that you may become what you were meant to be? What if in in all our attempts to protect ourselves from the harsh realities of the world, we are actually sealing our own fate with it's destruction. Trapping ourselves in it and actually giving up the thing we truly desire. The freedom to truly enjoy life and happiness without fear.

Open Yours Eyes

Have you ever been moved by an outside force. The kind of force that guides you but is less like a force and more like a subtle pull to the place you need to be. I'm trying to understand it myself. How does it know where you need to be? Do we all have an innate sense of equilibrium? A sense of what our lives are supposed to be about and somehow we loose sight of it. Do we get too caught up in the rat race to really see where we are?

In the "Movie Matrix" that's part one for those of you who fell behind.
Agent Smith: I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure.

What is the cure for the constant wading through life. What are we searching for that keeps us chasing our tales. What if we are supposed to be in the matrix. If we were created for a purpose, why are we trying to escape that purpose. why are we trying to break our connection with the source. I've been trying to understand my own place in the world. Get in touch with myself. To find that connection. But it's a struggle.

I'm trying tore-connect with the source. I've come to the realization that It's not about Me, but instead - Us. We together have a bond that moves us in one direction. A gentle call toward love, life, greater meaning, and whatever else we seek. But more importantly - our true purpose. That inner most force that reminds us that we are a part of something greater than just ourselves. At that point when we to find that equilibrium and we Rejoin the matrix In peace.
