So, clarity and confusion. Two simple words. Yet two words that have a profoundness that affects our lives every day.
Moments of clarity bring us serenity and peace, as we see the wood for the trees, or we uncover the meaning of the events in our lives. Clarity brings with it trust, that we are on the right path, that we are in tune with the people and events in our lives. Clarity is a very personal thing. Clarity gives us flow and the ability to glide.
Confusion slows us down, and is characterized by feelings of uncertainty and chaos. Confusion often conjures up negative energy and feelings. We often struggle through confusion, or we resist or reject it. In reality confusion is an essential part of all of us. Without it, paradoxically there would be no moments of clarity.
In recent times, I have noticed again now the influence of other people can profoundly influence feelings of confusion and clarity. A focus on confusion is often created by feelings that relate to people in our lives or events that occur that alter our journey for reasons we do not understand.
In recent times, clarity has become a human condition for me. Clarity always exists. Nothing we think changes the clarity in our lives, it is the way we think about things that changes our perception of clarity. Lack of clarity has something to do with the way we are wired, the thought process we individually follow, and confusion is simply our way of trying to establish clarity. An internal communication process drives feelings of clarity and confusion and clarity can be a state of mind, nothing more, nothing less. We can choose clarity above confusion by simply accepting events and circumstances. Acceptance .. Yes, that is clarity is it not?
Happy Christmas to those who have arrived here to read this post. The world and the media remind us often that Christmas is a time for giving, for compassion, for family, for celebrating Jesus and for receiving. It is also a time when we reflect on the past year - what has occurred and happened in our lives and where we have come. The New Year beckons and we begin to look forward to the positive changes that we desire, our aspirations and hopes for the future. We want to feel better in ourselves, and have an improved world with less stress, anxiety and suffering. Looking forwards is a powerful thing. It provides us with the ability to consider what may be, as we journey into the unknown. It enables us to work out where we would like things to go. In the animal kingdom, I expect we are one of very very few species that have this ability to look out over long periods of time. Other animals will look forwards I expect season by season, if that. They concentrate on the present. ...
