8 ways to Grace

 Alrighty now! Ready for an epic showdown! Ready for the tides to change, in the favor of the GODS! lol

     It's kind of funny when you realize you can say anything and it doesn't matter. You don't have to be self-conscious. Words are just words. Intention and attitude are different and can be rude, but words are just words. "Words are just words!" sang like Michael Bolton. So much of our worries are just a joke, not to deny how they legitimately make us feel or suffer, but they are often so ridiculous and imaginary. How light could we be if we let go of all of the ridiculous unfounded worries that we have? If we could see so much more clearly right now? How much could this change our lives? How much of our current behavior would we continue? How much of our current behavior is worthy of us? What would life look life if we could just stop all of the shenanigans? How free would we feel? How relieved and content? 
     I think so much of our worries are perpetuated by the disorder in our outer lives. We easily get thrown off by the madness of the world. We forget that we know so much better and we suffer so much more than we need to. We attempt to do so much more than we need to. Life can be so much simpler and easier. We just forget and try to run headfirst through boulders. "IT"S GONNA WORK SOMEDAY!!", we tell ourselves. Ha, what a funny thing. "I AM GOING TO BEAT THIS INTO SUBMISSION!", "MAXIMUM ENERGY OUTPUT!", "BURN DOWN THE FUCKING HOUSE!", just straight madness.
We are out of control. Clearly. Though not clearly to us a lot of the time. 
     We can work things out, we can understand, we can probably even get what we want. But we so often don't because we are not using the right leverage, we are using impossible leverage, super low odds. It's probably not going to work this way. Get it through your thick skull! lol. This is what seems to be the unsurpassable obstacle. We know we are smarter, we juuuust can't get there. We juuust can't relax enough. We juuust can't get a grip...Fucking annoying!!! just out of mutherfucking reach. Fucking Tantalus going for grapes.  
     Society is often too stupid to learn from. We got to learn for ourselves, by ourselves, unless we are lucky enough to find ourselves among a legit woke group that lines up with our life. We got to read books, go on the internet, experiment, talk to our few friends who may get it. Read my blog! lol my dumbass blog. At the end of the day though, it's up to you. Trying to shove enlightened people words into your brain like commandments won't work. You need to legitimately turn inwards and find the real sense to slow your shit down so you can get a hold on your life. Whatever this means to you. We have to change the culture so that we are less like chickens following the dude with the food pecking like idiots at the ground and realize that the messiah won't save us, we have to save ourselves. Finding independent intuitive direction is essential to waking up. You got to get over your new found ideas and turn them into fields of energy. Know when you've read enough, stop reading and get to work, whatever this may look like. Don't be an idiot and follow a half-ass guru. Stand up for yourself and do the work yourself. You can do it. Grow up, I think your probably tired of being an infant. You have the mechanics, you just need the heart to get out there and get at it. It may not be easy, it may take awhile, but it beats having your head up someone's ass or stuck in the sand in your debilitating naivety. 
     Something isn't true just because someone said it. It's true because you know it to be true. You have done the work. You have looked inside. You have found real inspiration and genuine direction. You have walked down the path. You are awakening. You will never awake if you are addicted to the leash. Cut the cord, float free into the unknown. This is the only way you will be alive. Otherwise, enjoy the drudgery of dimly lit half-truths and mediocrity. If you don't want to take these steps, then give it up. Stop wasting your time. Stop teasing yourself. Stop clotting the path so that others who are more interested have more room to travel. Stop pretending like you know what your talking about. If you don't, you don't. If you pretend to, you look like a fool and your creating chaos and suffering in this world. And your also still a child. 
     This isn't easy, but it can be done. More people are waking up than ever everyday. The truth is being distilled. But, garbage is also spreading and filling more of the world. Esoteric spirituality is becoming corporatized, becoming a fad, losing it's color and potency. Waking up means stepping out into the world as much as it means finding yourself within. It means maturing as an individual and developing behaviors that legitimately help others, that carve away at the grey disconnect that fills most of our minds. It means suffering this world instead of hiding from it in dream like fantasies. If you want to be alive, you have got to do some serious surgery on your mental garbage. You have got to confront unpleasant realities. Democracy isn't a guarantee. The whole world isn't like the Western powers. People get fucked up. Good people lose all the time. Dictators and authoritarian regime's will fuck you up if you don't get organized. If you don't get smart. They don't give a shit. If enough of us hide like babies and stay helpless, the wolves will devour all that we love. Grow a spine, fight back against your fears. Fight against indecency and complacency. When someone says something that is total bs and you know it is, speak up. We need your voice. We are way to close to fascism for comfort in our world right now. It is not safe. It will grow increasingly unsafe if enough of us don't get involved in healthy ways. Your comforts won't save you forever and they are getting more and more expensive to upkeep. Face your guilt. Face your beleaguered conscience. Do something! 
     What's getting you so down? Why are you so complacent? Why are you so unhappy? Why is your life so dull? Where can you start? Where can you start to make things brighter? What's the first step? Big leaps won't work. Your not strong enough. But, if you look in the right way, you can find a first step. Some little thing will call out to you. It will say, "Here!. Here I am!" This I can do. You don't have to be a saint or a hero to make a difference. Just learn to stop being so foolish. Be decent. Be honest. Recognize when you are not speaking the truth. Learn to stop yourself from spitting out half-truths. These grey areas can tear down the world and create space for nasty weeds to grow. Find out how to care for yourself. When you can do this well enough, look at your feelings towards others, especially those closest to you. You will find with great surprise how deeply you care for them. You won't be able to help yourself from helping them. This is just the beginning. It can go anywhere. If enough of us get involved, step up, we can do soo much together. So much more. We can solve so many of these huge problems that have crushed humanity for soo long. We can. It is possible. We need you. Life will step up when you do and back you up. Others will back you up. We will back you up. We will protect each other if we stand up for eachother. It will be clear and obvious what to do. We will know, because we won't stand in eachother's ways. 
     One last thing. Don't be so quick to judge. Judgment leads to tribalism, division which leads to violence and distrust. Learn to be objective, to not take things personally, to treat with others mindfully and with kindness. If you show them kindness it will eventually melt their hearts. If you show them attitude, it will reinforce their negativity and prove that they were right all along. We cannot afford this behavior. I believe in you and I will do my best to be here for you.

Best of luck,

Merlin
