I have been thinking a lot about our existence as humans and how we come into this world with so many expectations and pressures, the way to live, eat, breathe and be. Society has developed this false set of “norms” or ways to be living our lives. But why do we assign meaning to all those things that’s not our authentic selves?
What if we are brought to this world to “just be” and give to others our unique selves? Maybe that is our true purpose in life. Without rules, expectations, or judgements. Every single one of us is unique without society’s pressures of what our full potential “suppose” to be. What if only existing is enough..like animals for example, they just exist and their purpose, so beautifully makes our eco system work without having any real responsibilities or pressures than “just be”. They are one with nature which we also come from..When we give, if we are honest we expect something in return, maybe unconsciously but still it’s because of expectations and habits that was taught from and early age..we are not to be angry, sad, have negative thoughts, we learn to look up to beauty, money and fame, when that is not who we are. Because we are born with a higher intellect than animals, doesn’t it mean we are supposed to make better decisions than them...
So ok... we have to be “responsible”, pay our bills and be kind and loving, but for example why does money have such power on us in many different ways? Sometimes I think about what would happen if money didn’t exist..Could we resolve our daily lives with responsibilities and communication to each other and work out obvious complications that would arise? Maybe our connection and communications to each other and the world would be more authentic..
I know when I just exist and just being in the moment, I’m able to create, breathe and feel freedom. I’m also the most real to myself and everyone around me. I let my Body and Mind and Spirit exist in balance without an agenda. I know we are taught to accept reality, judge, manipulate and train our minds, but isn’t reality what we make it to be..not the other way around..so if that’s the case isn’t “just be'' the most freeing and creative way to live? Even when I write sometimes is exhausting..When I feel that way I go back to my senses and feel the touch of the keyboard, listening to my dryer working to dry my clothes, the clock ticking, or listening to my neighbor’s heavy feet upstairs walking across the floors:)
Today’s Assignment:
Today practice not thinking, “just be”. Maybe it’s just watching your cat playing in the sunlight’s reflection on the floor. Feeling your feet in the sand, meditating, feel the sun warming your face on your porch or sleep. Let yourself “just be”.
