The Urban Mystic Chronicles

Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll

Now that I have your full attention -
What’s going on? Are we all crazy? Why do we eat the wrong food, drink too much alcohol and take lots of prescription drugs to counter all the side effects from the way we live.
Why do teenagers go on binge drinking? Why is depression and suicide on the increase? Why, why, why does the world seem crazy? Why are we bent upon destroying ourselves either through poor food or pollution or destruction of our environment or a lifestyle that simply goes against ever law of nature?

I was going to start this article listing all the things that are wrong with our society and the world we live in but it was just to depressing to talk about all of what is wrong with our society, so I am going to leave that negative, scary stuff to the experts, the politicians, journalists and the media.

I was told recently that the brain is designed to always look for Danger. Since primitive man stepped out on to the savannah looking for food he/she had to be careful of not being eaten by something bigger. Survival has trained our brains to use our senses to scan the environment for dangers. Our DNA/RNA has been program to look for situations that might be life threatening. Our nervous system can instantly act or react to any situation that has any hint of danger. The reaction can be so fast that our conscious mind can only make sense of what just happened after it happened.

So it is often our subconscious mind and our instincts that will get us out of trouble. But for our brain to keep us safe it has to have lots of information. Scanning the environment gathering data, anything that we might need to know to stay safe. The Newspaper and TV industry has been built on this need to stay safe, this need to avoid danger. That is why we have to read the newspaper everyday, consistently turn on the news and watch as much television as possible.

The problem is we over focus on what is wrong with our society and forget about all the good things happening around us. Good things don’t sell newspapers. The big problem with focusing on what is wrong is that we create a world built around our problems and not on our successes.
All of this of course is because we have allowed our brains to be trained by the generation that proceeds it and they to have been trained by the generation before them “The sins of the father shall be handed to the son” it says in the Bible

.

I have often said that our brains are a 100% successful at our programming. So you are 100% successful at your life now because you are living the program in the computer between your ears. If you believe that life is a struggle then it is, if you believe life is easy and fun then it is.

The brain doesn’t know the difference between outside danger and inside imagined danger. Your imagination is 100 times more powerful than your will. Don’t believe me? Then think of eating a luscious, juicy lemon and do your best not to let your mouth water. Our nervous system is built to prepare our bodies for the next moment. But like any machine that is always running at full speed our body will eventually break down. i.e. a nervous breakdown or dis-ease.

Our bodies need rest and recreation time. Our batteries need to recharge. Our fluid needs to be cleaned and new fuel needs to be added. I am always amazed at how the body can keep going for 70 to 80 years on crappy food, no rest, little exercise and mountains of stress. It truly is an amazing machine but still a machine.

So here we are with a brain that feels it is under constant danger sitting in a machine that isn’t serviced or taken care of and we then get upset when our body/mind refuses to do what we expect of it. How dare it get sick, how dare it get ill, tired or exhausted. So what do we do? We belt it over the head with strong stimulus or medications. We ignore all the signals being sent to the brain, all those body sensations that say “Danger, machine about to blow,” like Captain Kirk of the Enterprise we ignore Scotty the Engineer’s warnings “I’m giving it all its got but its going to blow Captain, its going to blow”.

Our world is speeding up, we all know that. Or is it? Is it not that we are speeding up, not the world. We are the ones in control we decide when to rest and when to work and when to sleep and when to play. We decided what to place in our mouths and when to exercise we decide what to listen to and what to watch on TV. Through our decisions, our choices we create the world we live in, our “Choices Produce Results”

The world is nothing but a mirror of what we have decided to focus on.

What is weird is that it is also how our bodies heal. If I eat well, take my vitamins, get enough rest, do the exercise/sports I enjoy. My body starts to respond by healing, regenerating faster, increasing energy, and my brain, free of its overload, works faster and clearer.

The world we are living in seems full of danger if I take what the news reporters say. But if I look a little deeper I can also see how many amazing people there are. People who care for the sick every day, people who look after the poor, the aged, the handicapped. There are people fighting for the Environment, willing to place themselves in harms way. There are caring loving parents, children and families. There is a vast network of compassion that runs through our society that hardly ever gets a mention in the media because its not exciting enough and that won’t sell newspapers to a society based in searching for danger.

I have recently been practising compassion while I am out in public. I do this by imagining that I am in a sea of love; that every one around me is doing what they are doing because of love. That is, they are either looking for love or giving love and that love motivates all their actions.

It feels great to go around seeing everyone in the pursuit of love. My whole external environment changes, my energy goes up and I begin to see and hear a different world. Frighted, angry people are searching for love so I send them some and happy people are already flowing in their love.
I am after a loving feeling of flow, so I say

“The Universe flows in me,
I flow in Universe
The Universe and I flow together.”

And then I do my best to act as if I can really feel the flow. It is a lot of fun. Give it a go and let me know what happens.
If it works well for you, tell your friends. Maybe if we get enough people being in the flow of love, something magical might happen. We might even start experiencing that peace can be more exciting than war.
