Responsibility to Your Soul

Why is it the sleeper cannot awaken. There’s no question mark there because it is a statement. Many lives later, you condition yourselves to dully continue your journey, missing what you came here for: to love, to live, to breathe the air of a magnificent physical world.

Some may question that statement, saying you are not asleep. Being bombarded with information twenty four hours a day doesn’t mean you are awake, though. Just stop for sixty seconds and look at the people around you, preferably in a public, not working place. How many are looking around, up at the sky, down at the Earth, listening to sounds, experiencing Life? It is literally amazing to me you can go through another life not realizing you are all here this time to wake up.

Watch traffic. If you are on a city street rather than a highway, watch to see how many people now never stop at stop signs (and some stop lights) when turning into the street you are on, sometimes even a left turn into your path. I would guess the percentage is way above fifty. Why? Didn’t you all agree, at some point, that society needed basic rules and to follow them? Why aren’t you?

You’re in a hurry. Where are you going? With the 300% increase in gasoline prices over the past seven years you have to know fast equals less gas mileage, money lost and pollution increased.

I suspect you don’t want to wake up. You don’t want the responsibility you know you already have to your own soul and the souls of everyone you know and don’t know…and to God. The problem with not waking up is that the pressure you feel inside is growing. You are more unhappy now than you’ve ever been, and that’s also because you know the play, the Big one, is about to begin, and you’d like just a few more minutes (years), hours (lives) before you play your part.

“Don’t worry, be happy” wasn’t a hymn to inaction, but a reminder to be who you are and shed fear and frustration. And of course smile at each other, for we are all together in this and we are all loved, forever and ever. Sleeper awaken!
