We humans are supremely talented when it comes to making life difficult for ourselves... both globally and individually. If something is too simple we mistrust it, discard it as impossible or unrealistic. We defend our struggles like our lives depend on them... how's that for a paradox?
Why do we do this? Well, mostly because we have been conditioned to think this way, but not least because the "powers that be" who are running this world have an interest in keeping this belief in stand by creating ever more complications in our lives that we have to deal with. We are kept busy sorting out things and problems that shouldn't need to be there (and I'll deal with this in more depth in a later article), we are running around like crazy trying to keep up with a pace of life that we're told is normal when it's obviously NOT normal, and we go along with it as if we have no choice. Life is difficult, times are difficult, nothing comes easy!!! I've always thought that there must be a KEY, a very simple key to a very simple door, that when it's opened "all possibility" shines before you - and all of life's limitations and barriers and lies and illusory beliefs fade before the total glory of this light of "all possibility". I believe this key is already in everyone's possession, and I believe the way to find it is to truly understand that "there is no key... there is no door..." not outside you. YOU are the key and the door, and it is an illusory prison you hold yourself captive in. I ask you to do one thing - open your mind - ALL the way, as a short experiment - open your mind to the idea that you do not know or will possibly ever know the true nature of reality. All we can have is ideas about it, and beliefs about it that serve to give us a sense of purpose - and if we're lucky they might even bring us happiness and freedom and love (IF we're lucky... because mostly we choose to hold to the idea that life is difficult remember). But open your mind for a while to this idea that you do not know the true nature of reality. Now - mankinds most advanced level of science (at present), quantum physics, and all the most enlightened forms of spiritual teachings tell us basically the same thing about reality: that its essence is that of a field of limitless intelligence and limitless possibility - the "possible" only made "probable" by the act of observation. In other words - the focus of our consciousness, individual or collective, manifests what we experience as reality from that field where everything is possible. Read that again... "the focus of our consciousness, individual or collective, manifests what we experience as reality from that field where everything is possible". So - if everything is possible, then NOTHING is IMPOSSIBLE... right? It's that simple! Life is THAT simple. We are just making it appear to be difficult ( I say "we", but personally I'm doing a good job of making it very simple for myself thankyou... and it's not been that difficult!). Any resistance you may feel towards this idea is just a reminder that your mind is not yet open enough to accept it (which is not surprising given the extent of our conditioning and programming, from birth, to believe in limitations. So don't take it personally or beat yourself up about it - okay?). To make your life simple, even within a hectic world, you have to get past this inner resistance that is limiting you - take control, "own" your life. For a start, you can begin by taking it all less seriously, because in a reality where nothing is impossible, then "anything" is possible... even simplicity - and that's really all you have to remember.
