If we are born
into a family, culture and society that is confused, corrupted,
traumatised and dysfunctional then our immense and wonderful intelligence
will take on varying degrees of the same confusion, corruption,
trauma and dysfunction.
If we live unconsciously,
we become dysfunctional to one degree or another, and destructive
of ourselves and the world around us.
We will re-create,
with god-like ability, in exquisite detail, all those distorted
ideas and beliefs about ourselves, life
, relationships, the way the world is, spirituality -- all the ways
of getting by and surviving in a damaged and dysfunctional world.
Eventually,
some of us will just give up and remain in limited, closed down
lives with our wondrous intelligence, consciousness
and life, locked away, suppressed and inactive -- "asleep".
With some of
us, the "fires" of our inherent nature will push us to
try and shape the world, force the world to fit our distorted
beliefs, helping to create immense destruction and suffering.
Regardless,
we are all still searching for the truth of what is actual.
The incredible resilience of our inner life force leads us sooner
or later to see through the illusion and confusion of our lives
and the world we find ourselves in.
