Exhaustion

Exhaustion. It is a state of being that is very common now on Earth. The pace of life continues to increase, communications increase and “down time” is less than it was before. There is little time in life for people to reflect and contemplate their surroundings and their lives. Exercise was once a part of life, but now it must be scheduled, along with family, friends, children and other aspects of life that were taken for granted. Community is missing, connectedness is missing. It is as though most of you are ships that pass along in the same waters but rarely dock to be with others. Look at the self-help books in your stores. Listen to the self-help people on television. They are telling you “how to live happy lives” and many of you buy those books along with the diet books or the books on being wealthy because if you are thin and rich you will most certainly be healthy and happy. But if the books and television worked would there be as many of you at loose ends? As many of you searching? The more they “tell you” the more you search, for now you have heard or read that you are lacking something and if you can learn it or buy it or try it or exercise it or diet it away THEN your life will fall into alignment and everything will be wonderful. 

IT is not out there. 

That is the news flash for today. IT is within. Happiness lies within you RIGHT NOW! It does not cost you anything because you are the only who can access it. All you have to do is go within yourself and it will be revealed to you. But you do not want it to be that “easy” because if it is, it means YOU and YOU alone are responsible for your contentment, your success, your joy and your LIFE. Guess what? You are!! There is no magic formula, there is no secret, there is no pill or piece of equipment that you need. You need yourself. It is fascinating that the one person you spend the most time with is the one you least know. Most of you can analyze all the things your family and friends “need to do” but you cannot assess for yourselves what you need to find this elusive happiness. 

Again, it is not outside of you. It is not hidden from you, but most of you choose to hide it from yourselves. The answers are within. The answers are simple and they require only that you choose to live in peace and joy and love. Please contemplate how much anger, hatred, revenge and wasted energy you bring into the world daily, hourly. Think of how you abuse others with your emotions and then begin to analyze how you abuse yourself with those same emotions. You are hitting yourselves on the head with anger and hurt and jealously and judgment and you think it is someone else doing it to you. Contemplate and analyze and we shall return to you for the answers. 

We leave you in peace and love. 

Namaste
