Contradictions Along Our Journey

Posted Jun 13 2009 12:06am

I know that there are people who do not love their fellow man, and I hate people like that!

I wish people who have trouble communicating would just shut up”

There is no question, we are walking and talking contradictions. The above quotes are meant to be humorous however they do speak of how we often contradict ourselves. We have often heard people say “Do as I say, not as I do” when they are trying to teach us something. We often do live a life of contradictions, where as our thoughts don’t match up with our actions or where our ego based thoughts do not correlate with the voice of our spirit.

We find contradictions in many areas of our life, in our car, the speedometer goes up to 120 miles per hour, however the top speed limit in the United States is normally 65 MPH, in some rare instances it may go as high as 75 or 80, yet never to 120 or above.  We know that it is wrong to steal, that is to take something that does not belong to us, however many people do not think twice about taking company office supplies home or using the companies internet access or copiers to conduct personal business. For many these are accepted contradictions.

We tend to accept many contradictions in our life. Because we are in the habit of accepting contradictions we may not always take note of the contradictions in our life. As we increase our awareness we will likely uncover contradictions in our life especially in regards to what we know VS what we do. We will note that often times our thoughts are ego based and not aligned with our spirit. The more we turn inward to reveal our inherent wisdom, the more we may become confused by all of the contradictions in our life.  As we begin to look at what we have been taught by our parents, teachers, religions and our culture the more confused we may become. In many ways we may feel frustrated or become angry as we discover what once made sense to us no longer rings true. We may lose faith in our sources of knowledge and blame others for the confusion we feel. We may begin to feel that we have been lied to. Sometimes as our awareness of contradictions in our life becomes more acute we may feel as though are world is simply falling apart around us.

This time of increased awareness of contradictions in our life can be very unsettling to some; it can create fear and/or the feeling of being lost.  This is a time where many people who are on this leg of the journey will recoil to a point in their journey where they felt comfortable.

It is important to understand that as we go along our journey and create increased levels of awareness that it is not like a light is suddenly going to come on and we are going to feel a constant state of joy. It is very important to realize that we may go through what feels like dark times of doubt, fear, feeling lost and that this is part of our process. This is part of our journey and we must allow ourselves to work through our process, work through our journey and summon the courage to keep moving in the direction of revealing our truth.

May you be blessed with the courage to move in the direction of revealing your truth even when it feels as though darkness has descended upon you and you feel alone. Know that you never are alone, know that you possess all the wisdom which you seek and know that there is immeasurable joy in living a spirit-centric life, fore when you do, you are love and pure love knows no contradictions!

I know that there are people who do not love their fellow man, and I hate people like that!
