Escaping ... Part A'

Growing up a child will observe how adults invent numerous forms of escape from their daily routine, and eventually will start imitating them.. Sooner or later these pleasant pastimes become a source of limitation,addiction and finally pain…

Nature
Can nature itself actually be a form of escapism? If so,why?

"Because deep down I don't really want to change anything within myself. I can't stand the frenetic pace of life and the people around me… I just want to get my fill of peace, quick and easy…"

This attitude will make me sad each time I return to the city; it will make me oversensitive and/or sarcastic. It will make me forget that happiness in life comes when I honestly share the fruits of my progress and spiritual endeavor. This, however, can only be achieved on the field of relationship, and by overcoming its inherent challenges attain peace of mind.

Creative stress (?)

The Mythology of Stress (cont.)

There are some myths about stress that hide the real inner work that has to be done:

Myth ΙΙ:
"Small quantities of stress have been proved beneficial because they boost our creativity "

Truth: At present stress (fear of failure) and other emotions have coloured the soul to such an extent that we have forgotten how it is to feel our natural feelings. While intoxication or alertness by chemical means are in fact desensitization (alcohol, nicotine, drugs) and toxic shock (caffeine), they have entered our culture as bliss and refreshment in the same way that fear and worry have become motivation for creativity and interrest.   

}It is a illusion that stress, or putting pressure on people, is necessary to get things done. Why?

Because when fear (emotional pain) is invoked and used as a motivator, it always results in a drainage of emotional and spiritual energy, which eventually can lead to physical disease.

don't be busy just… take it easy

Situation
When things seem to go wrong or not exactly as we've planned, clouds start gathering in our mind…then the rain of negative thoughts starts along with the thunder of worry… we are unable to think naturally and so our actions are wrong…
With an eclipsed intellect our priorities lose their proper order and our focus goes to our actions…our energy flows towards our focal point…but they don't seem to improve and so disappointment creeps in to become a regular in our life…which means a characteristic feature…such a deep characteristic that we forget who brought it in, in the first place…


'Soul'ution
It needs to teach ourselves to change its way of thinking before changing our actions…thus our focal point moves automatically towards the real point of internal power…rejuvenating thoughts are then being emanated naturally even during the worst circumstances or atmosphere… Through the stable exercise of returning my vision inside, to the quality of my thoughts , I can sustain the awareness of the seed of my action and not the results; then success seems easier than I thought…
I was just too busy…


Exercise for the day... traffic control
Let me exercise switching my focus… through consistent exercising of reflection and meditation, I the soul learn to grasp the internal contrasts…like a well balanced photograph has a sharp contrast, I need to start noticing where my focus goes and how it feels, very vividly; when I act, am I my hands… or the soul that animates those hands…?

Through traffic control I learn to experience the contrasts… then I can choose… i.e act
