Beautifully expressed, @simon62 and thank you for adding such deep thoughts to this post!
I love the Sri Harold Kemp quote particularly and wonder how many of us actually manage to achieve this, WITHOUT overlaying our own desires, want and needs onto others?
Yes, I do agree that we have the illusion of control in our worlds, but it seems we exercise this control only when we box our lives in, and contain them. And having done so we have lost the ability to extend ourselves, our range, our inner and outer territories, forgetting the boundlessness that is our birthright. I think many are beginning to wake up to the self without borders, to 'innerstanding' themselves and the limits we put on ourselves every single time we think, do or even be! Of course, a LOT of that has been manufactured and designed that way, so we remain ensnared within the Matrix, so to speak, but as the illusions fall away more are beginning to seek deeper answers WITHIN themselves...hence my joy at finding an image, the cartoon, which graphically illustrates this!
GLad you stopped by and thanks again for such a meaningful and honest comment❤️
You are most welcome. I am always glad to read your posts, they take me places I don't usually venture often. 😇
Ooh what a lovely compliment, @simon62 thank you! Its great to have fellow travellers along the road less taken...especially when you can take flight and soar overhead on the magical mystery carpet ride instead 😊😊😊
I am a Child of the Dragon on this twenty-second day of our Moon. 😇
Well one things for sure....as a dragon you will have no need of a flying carpet then!!! 😊😇😎
😂 😂
Handy though, for ease of descent from my ivory towers. The Child of the Dragon will find each Day of the Moon , to his benefit or his caution, depending on his native view. 😉
Two sides to every tale (tail) especially if one has a dragon's scale!!
Bet the treasure trove of gold comes in mighty handy too!
I refer, of course, to the INNER treasure, not the silly metal stuff 🏵👑🌟
Yes, the silly metal stuff varies value every time a President sneezes. I've been out scrolling. And I find I'm puzzled, or maybe not. Many posts refer to problems. I'm unsure of how to put this, but such a word should be faded out from one's vocabulary. The use of such words implies a person is beaten down before attempting to rise. 'No problems mate.' means just that. A bush outlook, that only challenges exist. Problems are for those who can't hack it.
Turn one's view around, and difficulties, thistles, rocky surface, hard gradient, thick wait-a-while, all become challenges. 'No problems mate!' 😉
