Trees, Gravity and Us
We look at trees and laugh. They’re stationary and rooted to one spot. We’re free to roam around. Really?
The truth is we’re stuck just like the trees. Or else trees would not exist in our world, our universe, our reality. Our energy projects our reality, one out of the infinite possible realities.
Think of your life. Are you really free to do what you what to do? Go where you want to go? Buy what you want to buy? Be where you want to be?
The answer in a vast majority of cases (99%) is a resounding no. We’re stuck to our jobs, houses, families and heaven knows what else.
Also, trees don’t have any responsibilities. They’re stuck but stuck without responsibilities. All they have to do is grow and hang around. We have to grow, hang around and carry a truck on our head. Looks like trees got a much better deal than us.
Which brings us to our next topic – Gravity. As I mentioned in an earlier post, gravity is nothing but our “inability” to let go of rubbish. We hang on to old stuff desperately and in the process burden ourselves.
We can let go but we don’t. Why you ask? Because of fear. Fear of the good stuff. Psychologically it has been proven that people don’t want to embrace the good stuff, they just want to run away from the bad stuff; most like being somewhere in the middle.
The vast majority aren’t even aware that they are hanging on to the bad stuff. The funny thing about this bad stuff is that it is right where we can’t see it, but its right in front of you. Huh? I hear you say.
Here’s an analogy. Your nose is right in front of your eyes but you never notice it until you focus on it. Now you know where to look for the bad stuff. It’s right there lurking where you least expect it.
When a rocket lifts off, the maximum amount of fuel is burnt in the first 60 seconds or so. After that, the atmosphere gets lighter and lighter until it finally escapes the earth’s gravitational pull.
Life’s just like that. You need a tremendous amount of energy to escape this madness or you’ll be a hamster running in circles for eternities. But to do so you have to be designed like a rocket, you have to be as light as possible.
Most genuinely put in a lot of effort to uplift themselves from the situation they find themselves in. But during lift off, they bring along donkeys, monkeys and hippos. The lift off is a failure and they come crashing down. They blame life and give up.
Giving up is great. Do it immediately. Give up all the donkeys, monkeys and hippos in your life and get ready for lift off. You might not escape the earth’s gravitational field in the first attempt but you’ll be flying like an eagle. Royal, rarefied and regal. You’ll cover hundreds of miles in the blink of an eye without so much as flapping your wings.
Now that’s what life really is.
