Free Man Walking
Who Said, Freedom isnt Free?
When I tell people I began my walk last year in Marbella, Spain, sometimes their face lights up because they think I have a lot of money. While it is true I am rich, in spirit. My wallet is not fat. I say it costs the same amount to walk anywhere.
They say, (them) the Universe only gives you what you accept. This is sometimes difficult to grasp as a novice conjuror who was taught to be grateful for every crumb to land upon my plate. (and I am, thankful.)
We are trained to believe, suffering is good for the soul, money is the root of all evil, deny ourselves earthly pleasures. This crap was all written by the kings in the form of religion to deliver that opium to the masses before they realize there is enough for all of us on god´s green earth!
More Horrible Porridge, Please Sir
It is so deeply engrained in me that when someone gives me a loaf of bread, I eat it because I do not want to seem ungrateful.
The sick trick here is, I got a wheat allergy going on and that free bread makes me sick. I forget this as I take another bite and another bite. Maybe I am just greedy for eating foods that are bad for me?
I remember a colleague of mine saying, The Universe only gives us what we say Yes to. Now it makes sense to me. If I say yes to bread every time, the Universe gives me more because it thinks I love it!
The same goes for being poor or hungry or bad habits or gravitating to places that look like they cost less money. I may be the first to tell you, it costs a lot more to live in the Ghetto of the Soul!
The Ghetto of Soul
But if I keep saying yes to all the crap, the Universe gets confused and keeps feeding me more crap nobody wants, no how! No way!
If I keep putting on the same old pair of Stank Ass pants and shoes and foods and people, places and things, the Universe will keep giving me more of the same.
This is a difficult habit to break because our brains want predictability and familiararity and are very uncomfortable trying on a new pair of temporal lobes. Come on Cerebellum! Cartegena and the Road to Riches has begun to appear
If A Plea Falls On Deaf Ears, Will Anyone Hear It
The only thing you need to change your life, is to change your life. Sometimes I fall into the same old trap because my societal training is so complete. If I keep doing the same old thing, the Universe will keep giving me the same old thing.
I realize now it is my brain not feeling comfortable in a new situation. But Maybe I need to practice new situations until that feels comfortable. Acting as if you have been ther'e before helps you feel more comfortable in a new situation. Breathing into your fear and taking the plung into a new environment is as refreshing as diving off that cliff and landing in the ice cold, sparkling blue waters of a new life!
Do not just stand there on the precipice wondering what if... Take a deep breath , count to three and jump! Ready? One... Jump! Ha Ha Ha
