Peace, Love, and all that good stuff ! This weeks show is a mellow one but good ! WoS – Lucid – (1) easily understood; completely intelligible or comprehensible (2) characterized by clear perception or understanding; rational or sane QoS – “The past can hurt, but the way I see it you can run from it or learn from It.” -Rafiki Off Topic – Greece Commons gotta nother thing comin | The Grammys | Parking ticket Topic #1 – Ease vs Evolving ~Anything you want to achieve in life that starts as a seed of desire is an invitation to evolve. In order to evolve into the next best version of yourself, you have to change. However, change is RARELY a comfortable process. I think it requires a lot of courage and facing and changing old belief systems that hold you stagnant. ~Ease is more so taking the easy way out. But when you go through life with “ease” its hard becoming comfortable being uncomfortable because you always do things that fall within your comfort zone. ~Letting go and moving on all has to do with getting out of the easing phrase and moving into the evolving phase and most of the time- you have to leave people or things behind- whether it be family, friends, and/or hobbies you’ve had for years...whatever the case may be ~Evolving is what we are meant to do, even if it involves challenges. It’s what we are put on the planet to do. It’s why we have desires outside of our reach. Most people steer away from it because it brings tension and fear- which always comes with goals outside of your reach. It brings tensions and fear making people believe that’s something they shouldn’t do because it’s bringing all those negative emotions. But really the reason it creates tension is because it brings up everything that needs to be healed, conquered and all that needs to be evolved and that feels like anything BUT ease Evolving brings up: doubt, frustrations, self- doubt, lack of self – esteem etc. Ask yourself first “am I seeking ease: security, saneness, and sameness OR am I seeking to evolve? There’s nothing wrong with not wanting to evolve- that’s your choice but own that choice then...but if you are willing to evolve then own that and ask yourself “what is the benefit of evolving and what is the cost of it!?” Which I think gives you your WHY behind what you’re doing Featured Song | Marcus World Soul x From The Roots https://youtu.be/jt00XN9ZzGs Topic #2 – Your Lucid Self – freeing yourself from negative thoughts ~Having a lucid dream means that you are fully aware of what you are dreaming during your dream. You should be like that in life, your seat of conscience is transcended to your mind moving and seeing the world as it happens, and you are centered in your conscience and all of life goes right by because the world becomes something you are watching instead of something you are. ~ “True freedom is freedom from yourself” not freedom for yourself ~ Change is the very nature of life but people are afraid of change. ~Fear is a thing its another object in the universe ~Your gonna try to fix fear but you should just let it pass through ~Life is a natural unfolding of reality ~You’re suppose to harmonize and work with life, fear doesn’t let you do that so, Letting go of fear is not letting go of life Topic #3 – The Thorn If you had a thorn that was directly touching a nerve in your body to the point where if it were touched it causes pain inside of you. So if you were working walking in the woods and a leaf touched a thorn in your leg then you wouldn’t be able to walk. It would cause a disturbance. You only have two choices; you can try to avoid everything in your life that touches that thorn or you can take it out. If you try to avoid it then you will be doing it your entire life. Disturbance tells you what your thorn is. The alternative is that you can remove it and never have to think or deal with it ever again.
