The Real Me Is Truth and Love

At any given moment there are a million things that I could find to want from this life, in this life and for my life.  Everywhere I turn there are sparkly, shiny objects that distract me from my goals, lofty though they may seem sometimes they are in fact attainable if only I can discern the truth.  One day I will  learn to look with my blinders off; I will know instantly what is real and what is all a beautiful yet wholly misleading illusion.

In my time I will constantly struggle with the question of whether money is inherently evil or if like everything else  human beings touch, money is corrupt because the soul of the possessor of such wealth is they themselves corrupted.  Is money evil or are we the ones guilty of evil?  One thing for sure, it is just a simple peace of paper, the value we place on money is the value we place on material wealth.  What good would it be to gain the whole world: the houses, cars, jewelry, status and privilege if you have to lose your soul in the process?  What good is all the material gain if you destroy the souls of other individuals, making them yearn for things that are not necessary, setting impossible standards for them to achieve?

Even the Holiest of hearts are guilty of desire, wanting is a human flaw.  We want more than we can understand, we want what the Jone's possess, we want love, we want happiness, we want to live happily ever after.  What you desire will bear fruit one day, you will indeed get what you want.  If your desires are heaven sent, then your soul will one day ascend, if your desires are earthbound, made out of flesh and blood, then you will continue to sink into the hell here on earth that you have made for yourself.

You were born with everything you need to survive, to live and to thrive, perhaps you were told otherwise, someone taught you a different lesson, led you astray without you ever fully realizing that you are walking down the wrong path.  Opening up your mind to the possibility that you do not know everything, that you must question all that you have been is quite scary.  Who wants to think or believe that the life they have been living is not an authentic life?  Your ego will make it difficult for you to begin your journey because ego loves power.   Let the mind rest, let your heart speak for you instead, one day you may find your true purpose in this life.
