The Writing on The Walls

I write about a lot of things. I try to bring awareness to all that may read what I write. But so many people don’t see the writing on the walls. So many people are stuck in “their” way of thinking and believing. Now I’m not trying to say a person needs to believe the way I do, of course not, but I do hope that its cause for one to pause a moment and at least think. People believe in many things based out of largely what they have been taught. This is the way it is; this is the way it’s always been. You all have heard that right? Well, it’s doesn’t make it true necessarily. Remember for the longest time people thought and believed that the world was flat. What did it take for people to “know” that the world actually wasn’t flat? It took pioneers of exploration, it took out of the box thinkers, people able to believe that there could just possibly be another way of understanding. We wouldn’t have airplanes if someone didn’t think a human could fly. We wouldn’t have explored space if someone didn’t believe there was more out there than just everything revolving around the earth. I believe that exploration of thought gives a person tremendous freedom.

When we allow the world to dictate what we think and how we think, I believe that we limit ourselves to only think about what’s in the box. Many people seem to be afraid of the unknowing, I don’t know, but what I do know is that I see a lot of boxed thinking going around. We use religion, science, politics and just plain fear to keep us chained inside that box where it’s nice and safe. Well, it’s also kind of dead in my opinion. When a person allows themselves to only live in the box, I think they are missing out on so much more life that could benefit them and the people around them. Yeah, maybe sometimes it feels scary and vulnerable but when the lights go on, it’s a EUREKA moment. An AHH HAA moment.

You see, we are not limited to our thinking. We can live beyond just what we know. We can explore the possibilities of something else. We can understand more than just one religion, just one way of science, just one side of politics. We can, I assure you. It takes bravado, curiosity and willingness. You can read the writing on the wall even if people keep trying to paint over it or steer you in another direction so as not to focus on the writing. Life is your choice, how you think is your choice. Yes, even if your choice is to not see it. But where would this world be if people didn’t look to think differently. It takes vision and it takes action. My writing is just a small part of the action to help a few people see that they too could take action and quite possibly change the whole world not just their own world. I’m tapping on your box, come see what’s out here.
