"Your True Self"

It's so fascinating, that as I'm awaken and rising in the presence of the new day, I take note of the fact that morning has once again arrived, right on time, and that it does so without any one's permission. This creative and long ago process does not happen all at once, but rather in a series of moments, it is truly a gift that every moment matters. 

Becoming aware of the inner self, and realizing that the promises made by our technology driven world is hallow at best, not to mention short lived. The minute our cellphones or PDAs become "obsolete" our senses takes a hit, and we rush out to buy a "better"one that will keep us up with the rat race, only to find out we are still rats, with more stuff; trying to keep up with what's in style. But there is a small voice inside that has long ignored, and causes us to mind our own business as our billions of miles of brain circuits are drenched with the latest news of celebrities and others who have fallen off the wagon, or been run over by one. There is a great longing which urges us to take the road less traveled and find out some deeper truth before the sands of life run through the hourglass of time. 

More than ever before, we are in search of our "true selves," which have been covered for so long by all the so-called "right" things in life, according to society's measure; houses, cars, watches, clothes and whatever else; the stuff that ends up in either a garage sale or an "estate" sale. These things that insist on diverting our attention from the inside to the outside and do not want you to wake up and think for yourself, are not the least bit interested in you. Unhooking yourself from the life support system that keeps you running like your life solely depends on what you have is an illusion. A way out of the maze of materialism, media influence, and monetary madness, is a release. As we become observers of our own existence, things become clearer, even though along this journey has been one of discipline and self-examination, with success and even disappointments,our lives are filled with moments that change us. The farther you get from the false promises of the world, the closer you get to the truth of who you truly are.
