Disconnect Yourself From the Norms

In the process of disconnecting, one must consider what feels right for them. Do not be a member of a thing because the rest of the world is, be a member out of choice by exercising your free will. For example, this system has more holidays than necessary, and we comply and celebrate them without questioning and researching the source. This huge structure of commercialism robs hard-working people of money barely in existence in the first place. A new outfit because it’s Easter. Distributing bags of unhealthy sugar treats innocent children and dressing them in dark costumes with the attempt to scare others. To glorify Halloween. Give me a treat or I will place a trick on you. Do you hear how that sounds?

Every year we spend hundreds of dollars decorating our homes inside and out with gold and silver and wrapping paper to wrap up the most popular item, which costs more than our monthly expenses. Then we complain that we do not have money. But we had a choice not to participate, yet that dam fear kicks in and we are more worried about what others might say about us for not participating than we are about our financial future. Meanwhile, somewhere off on a remote island is a family living in luxury from all the money you have consciously given them to buy a product you didn’t really need. To fit in.

Our hearts and minds have been conditioned to allow false joy and as long as we stay plugged in, it will appear as joy until the moment is over, and we begin to see the remnants of struggle begin again.

Rest assured, you will be talked about, laughed at, and mocked the moment you begin to disconnect from the norms for the purpose of utilizing your free will.

Oh wait, do you think you are doing that now? No, my friend, you have not used your free will since you were a year old; after that, you began doing what you were told to do, how to do it, when to do it, and even whom to do it with, and from this, you became the person you see in the mirror. But that doesn’t mean that’s who you truly are. No, sir/mam, it is in the moment you make your first real decision, going against the norm, that you begin to be you.

            Disconnecting for the purpose of preparing the mind to find its truth is simply a matter of only doing things that are sincerely true for you, without regard to the outside input or concern of what and why you do what it is you choose to do. While simple enough, many don’t do it out of fear. Ironically, we fear what people think of us more than we fear “Mind” alone. Don’t believe me? Think about it, a person pays more attention to what she or he wears to church, work, etc, in an attempt to get someone’s attention or approval than they would to how “Mind” sees them partying and drinking recklessly the night before. Why? Because “Mind” is taken for granted, and even though we talk highly of it, we don’t really understand the concept or its power; thus, if we can’t see it, we tend to forget it more times than not. Sure, we speak of it ever so casually in daily conversations, prayers, curses, etc, but we don’t really know it. It’s time to understand just how important it is if we are ever going to have peace, prosperity, and joy truly. The only way to really understand it (“Mind) is to align with it.
