Do Not Disregard Your Environment.

Many people for many reasons leave their environment to another in other to have a better living. In most case, it is for more opportunities for either jobs, better living or marriage. This type of move, works for some but not for others. To believe that another environment would be friendlier than yours is one of the key element we have to consider.

Sometimes, what happens after we moved to the new environment is that the reasons of our move follow us. For example, we are moving because we believed that there are not a lot of jobs opportunities in the present living environment to another place where they will be more opportunities. But wherever we go that belief within us will be with us in the new environment. And this belief will make sure that we will find the new environment as the old.  

How this can be? Very simple; the problems we face most of the time in our environment don’t happen to us because of outside circumstances. It is the problem of our inner disposition. The conflict we have within ourselves is the element that is playing the drama of our life circumstances.

Let me explain what I’m saying with this illustration. Imagine you have found a map of an abandon house full of treasure. The place is very far away and the house was there for so long that it was covers with trees, and bushes. As an abandon house, the place is constantly in dark. You will need light to get in the house. Otherwise, it is impossible to see. And also you must carry with necessary material if it comes to dig so you can.

Also, you don’t know how the treasure you’ve heard about was hidden in the house. But you decided to do this expedition with the hope of finding the hidden treasure which will help you change the circumstances of your life. Your mind is been fruitful in imaginations and dreams. Here you are seeing yourself as one of the greatest men of the city with luxury possession.

You so cut up in your fantasy world that you did not prepare very well for your journey. And then you left. In front of the house you now see for sure that first you will eventually need a light and then you will also need something to dig with. But here you are without any of these. Even though you saw the house but you can’t look for the treasure.

What can we withdraw from this illustration?

Very simple; the man went to another environment in search of happiness with an empty hands believing he can accomplish greatest things of life. An empty hand is the result of lack of knowledge. This happened because the man did not assess the information.

Lack of doing that, his mind created for him an image assumption of how life could be better after.  This assumption caused his mind to be irrational by focusing on the future. Focusing on the future killed his awareness. Without awareness, there is no knowledge.

And this allowed him to step out of the present moment. Because he stepped out of the present moment, he missed the revelation meaning the instruction for his journey. Lack of instruction led him to not have the tools he needed for his journey. Everything is connected.

One single action can impact a whole generation. One single error can destroy a whole family thus the society at large. It is from one person of family some families have what we call generation curse. This is one of the curses many people are struggling with.

All that happened because you were never present in your own environment. Following life processing in nature, we can understand that it is not wise for man to jump from one environment to another without overcome the present circumstances. There are different stages in the process life.

We must overcome these stages through our understanding. You did not seize the opportunity given to you by the universe to forge yourself. Because you did not forge yourself, you will be vulnerable in other environment. This vulnerability can easily be avoided.

Now the lesson here is that every living environment is wisdom disguise ready to reveal one of the greatest truths to whoever will be ready to not escape it. If wisdom is at the gate of your mind, you will never miss the revelation. The wise man uses his environment as tools to grow in knowledge and wisdom. He is captivated by the wisdom of his environment.

For he knows how wisdom is very, very vital and that what is happening to him, it is the universe that is trying to get his attention. Before you can lie on the bed, you must first sit down otherwise you will hurt yourself said an old saying. You must first be a student to become a teacher.

If everyone can fly as bird from one place to another, we will never saw the need of transportation. Then there will be no cars, air planes, trains and no ships etc. Those who were before us did not escape their environment but rather they worked with it and overcame their struggle of their time and they saw the light and became creative.

There is no hazard in this life. The universe does not make a mistake. Wherever you are, it is the tools given to you for inner transformation. Without inner transformation you cannot merge into the creator’s consciousness and be in a perfect harmony with everything. Living outside the creator consciousness is what is creating the conflict in our mind, thus problems in our life.

If for instance you don’t know how to swim because you never got into any pool or water, how come will you jump into the sea to save someone that is drowning? That action is called insanity meaning there is no rationality in it. The good news is that everything is connected. We don’t need to go back to the old place but we have the power to turn the new place into learning environment. Become a student of life and let life forge you.

The one who is ready to learn will bring his/her awareness back to where he/she is. He/she will be captivated by the light meaning the intelligence of the moment to make his/her step. For, he/she knows that any type of action without light is the step into darkness meaning lead oneself in total confusion and misfortune.

When you walk into dark room, the light you have in your hand is the one that is going to guide you. This light becomes your leader. If for instance, the universe is the dark room, then the truth you get in the present moment become your leader to lead you into the universe. Without the presence of the truth in your mind, you cannot perceive the reality of life.

Without truth, you are walking in total darkness. What you may see may not correspond to the reality of the creator. Before your perception can be real, you need to understand the truth. To understand truth is to be in contact with it. And to be in contact with the truth is to be in the present moment. To be in the present moment means you have cleaned your mind from it clutters.

To clean your mind from it clutters means you have assess yourself. Without personal assessment, you will never know your weakest characters and your greatest abilities. It is with the understanding of the truth you have you can transcend the weakest characters and reinforce the qualities. It is only from personal examination you are able to make a right decision about your own life.

The man that does personal examination never escapes his environment. He is the man that respect life and it creation. He is the man that is always ready to make the move in the right moment. He is the man that is authentic in all his doings and faithful to himself. Such man understands the principles of light. He knows that to live is to be under the leadership of light (creator wisdom). He knows that when you want to escape light, you will fall into darkness.

Peace and Love
