If we consider where we are at this point in time and more particularly where we are as a country, our logical minds have to tell us that we have come a very long way – as the human race as well as South Africans. Why is it then, that suddenly there seems to be so much negativity being circulated at every turn? Our brain is set up to deliver the visual presentation of the world we are experiencing right now bearing in mind that our visual presentation is based on our perception.
Being human means asking the questions of our own being and accepting the impact of the answers given to these questions. Conversely, being human means receiving answers to the questions of our own being and asking questions under the power of the answers. We have the power to define our experiences of this world through our own ideas. We know that we do not have to believe that a certain level of evidence is required to look into any possibility as long as we keep an open mind.
Most of us start searching for answers as curious and naive thinkers struggling to navigate in a world that appears to be other than what it is, as compared to what we ourselves are as human beings. Fortunately, we all finally arrive at some level of understanding of what the world is all about, albeit that that level of understanding transforms and evolves as we ourselves transform and evolve. And as we transform and evolve, we understand that we are the sum total of every thought and every action and transaction that we have ever undertaken, thus we are ever in control even when we believe that we aren’t.
Each one of us has our own set of beliefs when it comes to letting others control us. But when we become aware that someone is controlling us without our consent, are we willing to put it all on the line and walk away from any existing control structures or relationships that have separated us from our true identity?
Strive to understand what is true for you alone. Gain a proper understanding of what you want out of life. Know that anyone who desires to know truth can always find truth within their self. Become the master of your own mind and the creator of your own existence through your own personal experience, because it is only when you do this, that you will find peace, courage and the strength to move forward.
