TIME-HOPE-WISDOM

For whatever reason we spend time in the "out zone" you know where I'm talking about. That place where we vegetate, get stoned or drunk or whatever happens to be our particular zoning out fix. Regardless of the underlying drama of seeming ups and downs, we really are always at the moment of acting out a thought or reacting to an invitation or stimuli, either way we are now partaking in the act of getting stoned. Remorse, shame, guilt and all the rest of the "drama" is just more stuff with no good results. If a part of me "knows" that this action I am engaged in at this moment is not conducive to my well being, and yet I am engaged in it just the same! Then let the wisdom of that knowing be enough for the hope of getting free from these kinds of moments! WE CANNOT RESOLVE A PROBLEM FROM THE SAME MIND-SET THAT CREATED IT. Shaming the self into wishing to quit, putting the user self down, having guilt attached to every moment of our "zoned out" day, all these only add to the problem and now we are deeper into the MAYA than need be. Seek my children the everpresent SOURCE, TAO, THE WAY, and have hope for the goodness within you to win out. NEVER LOSE HOPE, LET HOPE SHINE IN EVERY MOMENT!
