Trapped

This post is a bit deep, too deep perhaps. But bare with me.

This has been brewing in my mind for a number of days already. If you have already read about The Myth.

This is about to blow your socks off.

"It's called the American Dream because, you have to be asleep to believe it."-George Carlin

Have you ever asked yourself  if there is anything more than this so called LIFE? I mean, is that it? Study, Work, make money, buy stuffs,  make friends , get married, have children, act normal and die? Same damn boring routine everyday and not everybody ever questioned WHY are we here?

I believe that the life that we have is a spiritual one. And most of us heard this before, that we are only living in a physical body and this body is but a container for our spiritual body.

You could compare your physical body to a puppet and You(your true spiritual self) are in total control of the puppet.

You feed it. You make it healthy. You allow it to have friends, have relationships, create a family, fall in love, fail and succeed to gain experience. Study spirituality and religion. You enroll it to a school to study and a whole lot of other things.

I'll use this wonderful metaphor to easily explain it.

Imagine yourself inside a Computer Gaming Shop and there are numerous games available. Now, compare this to this thing we call life and these games are what you play.

Games about finances. Games about relationships. Games about school. Games about health. Games about spiritual growth. Games about entertainment and other games that are available in this world that relates to life.

Now, with some of these games you play, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. But as long as you learn your lesson and keep a positive attitude you will win and succeed.

And now, here is where most of us get trapped.

Most of us gets trapped with this Physical Experiences and appetites that we have and instead of YOU- having total control of all your Physical Body, the Gaming World is now in control of you. According to scientist all the sensation that we experience is but a chemical reaction that is done by our minds.

The Gaming World tells you what to do, what to wear, what kind of life to live. Who wins and who loses. Who is rich and who is poor. Who to hate and who to love. Who is accepted and who is not.

In other words, you lost control of your Physical Body and thus fell into a dream.

Sad, but true.

Instead of having total control of your Physical Body you lost control, you lost your way. All these external factors are now in control of you. Instead of  what is within you that controls you, what is outside control you. Most people allow themselves be controlled by external factors than them having control of their reality. And most of us got trapped into this Physical Plane of existence and totally forget about our Higher Spiritual Nature.

That body that you have that is supposed to be controlled by you, is now controlled by the Gaming World. And you can't get out, because you got addicted to the physical stimulation and totally have forgotten the Spiritual Path.

Ancient experts on spiritual teachings says that we all got 'amnesia' and got trapped in this stimulating maze. Because of all the physical distractions there is. And we got fixated to this Toy( Physical Body) just like a kid who never wants to go home and just wants to stay inside the playground because it feel so good there.

The so called 'Prodigal Son' has to return to the Father's house where anything is possible and you have total control and stop this insanity someway, someday, somehow.

Now I know the full meaning of the phrase '"You are not your body and you are not your mind". As Eckhart Tolle put it- Most people think they are their mind and that brings them all sorts sadness.

Sometimes when you are so deep asleep somebody who is awake needs to wake you up.

Have you ever experienced having a good dream where you don't want to wake up? You are in It. Time to wake up. See you on the other side.

Life Begins with Waking up.
