The traps of the intellect.
A mouse in an open enviroment runs freely sourcing food and mateship yet when put in a cage for some time it is forced to run down certain corridors to a wheel that it will run in and make spin and this soon becomes the only world it knows. When let out the cage it becomes confused and wants to go back into the cage it knows. It has become trapped in it’s own intellect by a long situation of paterning away from it’s natural state.
Life can be so cruel with it’s lessons, sometimes creating a trap that our intellect can fall into and once fallen into it can be almost impossible to see the way out . Life can bear upon us some funny challenges and society’s pressures can give us even more. Love, money, expectations, opinions, judgements, peer pressures, social conditionings/standards, right and wrong etc.
Sometimes a bad thing can happen in your life or maybe a series of bad things and what can happen at that point is that your thoughts on things may change. One bad day roles into the next and next thing you know a pattern is formed where all things appear to be bad. It seems as if only bad things seem to come your way. Any object of value whether material or of life seems to lose value, the close people who loved you dont seem to anymore, freinds seem like enemies, your family dont seem to care, co-workers are all out to get you, every person you meet seems to look at you strangely or walk away from you when your talking and then you look in the mirror and you even start to hate yourself. Nothing makes sense. You cant even live with yourself so you become someone or something else. Not that it’s even realised , but the mind is trapped into a way of thinking that you dont even know your in.
The flow of thoughts only go in a certain direction and slowly you cut yourself off from all of the beautiful things that life and the world has to give.
Stress and pain become a normality and you can start to walk around only seeing the world in a particular way, almost walking around with your eyes shut to the beautiful things that are always on offer. You start to except cheap pleasures or quick escapes from the pain your assuming. Drugs, alcohol, love from wherever you can get it, money for doing all the wrong things, freinds who aren't even freinds any quick escape you can get from the painful existence not realising that all these short term burts of pleasure are removing you further from lifelong happiness and fufilment. After a while you wouldnt even know what your hearts desires and passions truly are and if you had an inclining of what they might be you’d feel that you couldn't do that becuase youd probably only fail.
Then you'd start to think youre crazy for truly wanting or trying to find what you believe in, so you give up. You adopt this sub standard of happiness and fill your life with cheap highs and feed from the happiness of others forgetting totally where yours is.
Are you in the trap of the intellect?
Its easy to see where this can come about. Theres an old saying that goes along the lines “upon walking a track I come across a snake and in a rush of fear and anger I jumped on it trying to mash it’s head into the ground with the boots on my feet only to realise it was just a peice of old rope”. Sometimes our eyes lie to us. With the traps of our own intellect sometimes we dont see all the things that are on offer to us.
We easily forget the miracles of life. That we were born. That we can see, feel, hear and smell all the things that god has given us. The eyes we had as a child that seen no limitations. That even though we fell over many times we learnt how to walk. Then we learnt how to talk. The whole world synergises events in such a beautiful way and has infite organising power.
Birds can fly at exactly the right time every year to another part of the world without a watch or map, whales journey for months to another part of the world to have their young. The rains come, the snow falls ,the sun shines. The world spins at some great speed yet to us it appears stationary, planets seem to align in some strange harmony, the world has infinate organising power and time and space are endless from any given point that we are in.
You are a part of it all. A beautiful part of it all.
You are connected. You just keep thinking youre not.
Let go.Let go of the pain ,stress and hate .The past is the past ,the future is the future and the present is the only thing we are in. Find your dreams and why not give every minute you are in everything you can and let the universe handle the details.
There is about 13 billion nerve cells in our mind, why be limited to only using some of them!Your mind also has infinate organising power there to be used not limited.
The only limits are the ones you have in your own mind. The ones you grew to accept as reality. Escape the trap of your own intellect and go for it. The only way to fail is by not doing something. Every experience is there to be learnt from so we can get better and better. We are mostly born equal, nothing is innate. Think of any one who is held highly in the world ,think of any hero’s or superstars - think of the fact that they still have to go to the toilet and brush there teeth in the same way that you do. They get hot. They get cold. They get the flu. They sleep. They laugh. They cry.
When you give yourself to life, life will come back and find you.
So what is really stopping you .You.
If you can dream it, then you have the ability to achieve it . Believe it.
