OTHER PEOPLE'S MINDS

We come into life unique with our own mind: clear, fresh, open... and ready to be programmed. If no limitations were placed on a mind after birth, but encouragement, nurturing and a love of learning and method for critical observation for the purpose of knowing as journey, the human race would be fulfilling a purpose. As it is, most minds are programmed with the current belief of the parents, society and systems already in place. The few that choose to journey beyond the prescribed and limiting "knowns" truly lead the way. But few follow.

We are in a very unique and evolved time in human development. We have many answers from the past and knowing the past can lead to a better future. Early philosophers opened their minds and learned some basic truths about human nature and shared and wrote. We have that information. Pioneers in the study of Nature and our relationship to it, paved the road for today's greatest scientists and thinkers. We have information at our fingertips and confirmation on every level that this planet offers everything that we need.

How is it then that so many are still going in the wrong direction? If each individual used the mind as it was meant to be exercised, we as humans would be moving towards the paradise which is already the creation. We, at our best, are the highest form of this creation and we do have the opportunity to realize this as a collective species. Some do realize it. Only by using their own talents and connection with the Source of all is it accomplished. Others may criticize and call it luck or birthright, but no person can achieve this height without their own personal engagement.

Each individual choosing for themselves to connect, attain, be, and attract will realize a paradise within and create a paradise without. It is those who do not rely on their own resources, and contribute, that keep themselves and society as a whole in limitation.

This can be taught only to those ready to learn. Those addicted to other peoples' minds and way of thinking will never break free and will continue to denigrate themselves and society. Even if the powers that be in one's life are extraordinarily oppressive, a mind can be free to be owned by the owner if the owner chooses.

If one chooses to truly observe the magnificence of nature, it becomes obvious that poverty and lack only exist in the mind.
