I have observed that things only have meaning when I give them meaning. There is no inherent meaning in anything. There is no task. No duty. No goal. Everything just is. I play with it however I choose to play. I can play victim… or victimizer… or victim-free. Saved... lost... or salvation-free. It is a pathless land. No authorities except those I choose to create. No walls. No bars. No chains. Just movement. Freedom.
The dark things like murder exist because the awareness of that freedom is dimmed. People fight to get out of holes they think they are in but are not. Nothing is around us except what we focus on or choose to see. We can play our lives however we choose to. We can make ourselves miserable. We can surround ourselves with disappointments… with pain… with sufferings. We might even find a way to soar.
When we get overwhelmed it pays to step back and observe the whole circus that lies before us and within us. All the constructs and mental gymnastics we go through to manipulate the outcomes. All the situations we drawn to ourselves. All the patterns and cycles we run through and refuse to SEE, let alone release. We are master puppeteers. All of us. Our refusal to look and see this about ourselves is perhaps the greatest trick of all.
Make a list of all the little tricks we play. You will notice the absurdity of much of it, but stay free of judgment. This is life in the Holodeck. Nothing is real. Not even the games we play. It CAN be quite entertaining once the real reality sets in. It can free up a lot of our overly-serious energy and make life a whole lot easier… Thank-you, Gipetto.
