A few days ago I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown because of all the overwhelming crap going on in the world. There's just too much of it....!
I could barely get myself to meditate, but at some point, I was reminded of a VISION I had over 10 years ago about me standing on the side of a raging river. This is a picture that comes close to my vision only no trees or anything around it.
10689
It was murky, but I could "see" what was in it: Every kind of hateful thing imaginable was in it. So much rage, violence, perversions, wars and hatred. There was even rage against all of the rage. This river represented the world....
At the time, there were many problems going on that even I got emotionally caught up in it all; and wanted to do something about it. In the vision, I had dipped my foot into this river and had every intentions of jumping right in. See, I thought I could do something about it.... Just as I was about to go in, a voice above me said "If you go in, you will die." I stopped as if I suddenly woke up to the truth. I realized that the raging river was going in ONE direction. In other words, all of this evil stuff was being DIRECTED. The river looked as though it ended abruptly. You've seen movies and pictures where you can see there's a waterfall just up ahead.... It had that kind of look about it. The raging river was going downward.... But it's like you don't know this until you get there. And then it's too late....
Anyway, I can only imagine how that raging river is now, churning with such ferosity because things are much worse. I realized that every time I watched or read about the madness, I was being emotionally sucked into that insanity. Some "thing" was doing this to me.... If anyone thinks that I don't care about people, the environment and other lifeforms, they're wrong. And because of this, it's being used against me.
During meditation, I realized that I don't have to focus on that raging river. It's heading towards destruction....I told myself that there's always the beauty above it: the skies, the clouds and the stars above. There are the trees, mountains, rocks and life all around me. Know what? I immediately felt the peace in that thought.... Every once in awhile I'll look at the river (just in case it floods! :becky:) And then I'll remind myself of what REALLY matters in life....
For those who are in that raging river, I bless them and hope that they can change things. As for me, I'll find another way to do it....
Thanks for your attention, my friends.... :grouphug:
Love ALL and all...
