Ode to Medusa July 31, 2014

The other day I got into a heated discussion with a friend . It was in regard to the “New Age” belief system. “Everything is going to be okay! just think positive!”

Some friends say just ignore the negative. For me this is the moral disintegration of our mental faculties.

“To ignore evil is to become an accomplice to it.” MLK

“Don’t get so upset, just think positive and never get angry” – Some things should make you angry in order to instigate responsible and integral ACTION, singing songs all day does not help, action is required.

I know this may be coming across as brash but please know there is a concerted effort to manipulate your mind, to control what you think and how you think it. There is a difference between good and bad and some people really do believe they are the chosen ones. So what do we do? We need to understand ourselves “Nosce Te Ipsum” – Know Thyself –

Through this process we start to see the inner demons are within. Some of us are popping pills, doing drugs(abusively), drinking alcohol(abusively), constantly complaining, and pointing the finger.

HIS FAULT – HER FAULT.

I used to be like that, always pointing the finger, until one day. I was at a very vulnerable point in my life and had a realization.

After all the finger pointing there is only you, what are you holding onto? I asked where is my focus? The power of thought has mass but it is weightless without action. We can not do it on our own.

Tell the people around you how much you love them, they are in your life for a reason. Believe in them because they believe in you.
