Negativity is a Choice
By mati. Filed in Life |
What is your perception of life? Is it good to be alive, or do you hate it? Are you happy or depressed? With all the earth quakes, oil spills, disasters and the economy being so shaky, it is hard not to get sucked into fear and negativity. The problem is that negativity lowers your spiritual vibration, drains your energy and eventually makes you physically sick, depressed or both.
So, what is the solution? Denial? Positive thinking? No, there is a different way of dealing with chaos, upheaval and disturbing happenings. Understanding is the way…
We have to understand that anything that we see as evil, non caring or even ecologically disastrous appears because there is an absence of light, love or understanding in the individuals who are causing these happenings. Take the oil drilling company who caused the latest disastrous oil spill – they didn’t even consider what to do in the event of a blow out. All they were focused on was how to rape the earth and make a buck. They didn’t even consider what would happen to the oceans, the wild life or anything else. Why? Because they are on the level of the second chakra, which is only concerned with money and power. Love and care isn’t even part of their reality, because those are higher qualities that belong to the heart chakra.
So, we can sit and get negative about it. Why don’t they see? Why don’t they understand? Why don’t they care? They don’t care, because they are not at the heart level yet. They don’t see because they don’t have their eyes open yet. And how can you blame a blind person for not seeing???
What we have to understand is that only awareness and understanding can bring humanity forwards. Anything we do in darkness and lack of love will simply bring us down. It could even signify the end of the world as we know it.
The solution is an almost hopeless task, but as long as there is a ray of hope, it is worth doing what we can. The people who DO have eyes, awareness and a loving attitude must become examples to others. The mind is like scissors – it cuts things apart, critizices and becomes negative and angry, so that is not the solution. No, we must remember why we are here. We are here to make a difference, any way we can. We are not here to focus on everything that is wrong, and pick it into pieces, we are here to express a different way of life, a different perception, a different future…
Yes, many things are totally wrong out there, but does it benefit humanity if I get depressed, angry or suicidal about it? Would it help anyone if I killed myself just to escape from the madness? Or, would it benefit the world better if I teach gratefulness, creativity and beauty? Would it benefit the world more if I can inspire someone to find their own expression in life?
Negativity is a choice. We can choose to look at everything that is wrong in the world, or we can choose to focus on what we can do to make a difference. This is not positive thinking, because positive thinking is just the other side of negative thinking. It is simply a choice to not waste your energy on things that aren’t here and now, and that you can’t do something about directly. Do what you can, instead of focusing on what you can’t do anything about. That makes sense to me. If doing what I can makes me happy, my happiness will make a difference at least in my immediate surroundings. So, do what you can, and be happy! Don’t let the darkness and unawareness take you down. Bring in the light…
