Reacting

 

I have decided to do a series of short posts on various topics that have to do with how a spiritually aware and evolving person goes through their daily life here on planet earth.  Of course, our time here as a spirit having a temporary human experience is all about the process, not about any goal.  So we are not here to prove anything or attain anything.  We are just here for the experience.  Our experiences may be very pleasant, or quite negative.  In the final analysis, they all carry equal weight.

That gets me to the topic of “reacting”.  As I observe myself reacting to various external events, I can see how that reaction serves to pull me off of my center if I focus too much on that event.   My job then is to pull myself back into observer mode thus being totally objective about what is happening.  That way, I can act appropriately instead of reacting randomly.  Or not act at all! 

So pay attention to ways in which your reactions are triggered in you.  I am referring to what is put out by the mass media, entertainment, the nightly news, and lately, information from the political arena.  What about how many people are subtly trained to react whenever their cell phones alert them to an incoming call or text!  Do you feel uncomfortable about turning your phone off just to get a bit of peace and quiet?  How about family dramas?  Or if you are running a codependent/caretaking pattern and automatically react to help someone in need?  The list goes on and on. 

I am not saying that you do not help someone if they really need help, but only if they ask, and only to the extent that you are comfortable.  Your inner/higher guidance system will tell you when to stop.  

Keep in mind that many current events happening around the world today are deliberately orchestrated to create reactions and divert our attention away from who we really are and what we are doing here.  Those events can be selectively amplified for greatest negative effects by the mass media.   Talk about population control! 

So just pay attention to when you are reacting to the extent that you lose yourself.  Pull yourself back and return to your core self and connection to your I AM presence.  Your guidance system will steer you in the right direction. Remember, there is no such thing as an emergency, accident, or victim.  All events are orchestrated by a person’s Higher Self and life plan.
