Passive Creatures of Habit

Passive Creatures of Habit

It is a very sad commentary that the majority of humanity, leans on its apathy, solely based on the

habitual passivity of its individuality, which is created from its very own false repetitive reality.

I have been told a number of times over my lifetime, that it is foolish to repeatedly do something the seem way, and seriously expect that we will get a different result. Human beings are passive creatures of habit. We have become passive creatures of habit out of pure and simple laziness. I know this to be true from looking back on, and examining my own personal life, also through seeing the lives of those who have been and are close to me. This state of being is so old and repetitive, that we are programmed to be this way by those who truly Love us. Our parents and others do not know to do any better, because they do not know that they are doing it. They are simply habitually teaching us what they were taught, in the way they were taught. Actually, we all know better, we simply have not taken the time to tap into that Divine Knowing within our very own Spirit.

We start out in life rejecting just about everything that comes to us that is different from what we were taught, and even some of that which we have experienced in life; that is the beginning of my way is the only way syndrome. We exist within an extremely complicated and confusing dichotomy, we want to be free yet we seek the easy way out; we seek to be told what to do by others, and we want to be rescued from our dilemmas in life by everyone and everything outside of ourselves. Therefore, within our very limited human mentality, we go about looking for and creating saviors out of men, women, and Spirit Beings that will rescue us from us. In the meantime, we go about propagating the habitual process of self-abuse in our lives, also in everything that we do.

Here is one of the most prevalent forms of self-abuse that humanity is famous for creating. We allow ourselves to be abused by others simply because we want companionship. Many times, abuse surfaces in the form of self-abuse, of wanting to do for others at our personal expense. We do what others like and try to please them all of the time, while we neglect our wants and needs, and also neglect to make it clear that we have desires and needs that we need to have met as well. Such a set-up seems to be okay in the beginning. Nevertheless, in time, such relationships become old, and overtaxing on our psyche, and we begin to feel and exhibit resentment. Most off the time, due to the overwhelming reality that humanity lives purely from the place of a surface lifestyle; no true depth to our existence due to a dis-connect from that which is Spiritual, neither party knows what has happened upon one or more glances. Most of the time, when the cause of the disillusioned relationship is discovered, nothing is said or done. The relationship continues on its currant course because the abused party is too fearful to address the situation, also because he or she is more comfortable with what they know, even though it is negative and self-defeating. Rather than step out into the deep unfamiliar positive waters of what is right, they choose to stay in the shallow negative and predictable waters of despair. On the other hand, the party that is receiving all of the benefits is not going to say a word to upset the very comfortable, easy, undemanding lifestyle that is being offered.

I am fifty-seven years of age, and most of my relationships throughout this lifetime have been the way I just mentioned. I am a servant at heart, and most importantly, I am a Lover, one who Loves to share my Love. However, Loving to share my Love was a very big problem for me because I did not know the first step in being a Lover. I had not learned to Love numero-uno (myself), I had not learned to take care of my own interest, Love myself first. Because of my choices, because of what I did, I experienced all of the pain that could possibly be experienced in a relationship. Actually, doing as I did, also limited me from doing what was best for my partner; I simply fed my partners illusion of how life and relationships are supposed to be. We all were sinking deeper into being passive creatures of habits, bad habits at that. It is the old scenario of, the blind leading the blind. Walter Scott wrote something that I think is very apropos to what I am saying here. “Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.” Here is something I wrote that was stimulated by what Walter Scott wrote.

What a fickle web we weave, when we go through life and deceive, in our grand attempt to please, yet we are quickly brought to our knees, in the end not a single one is truly appeased, because our vision was to narrow to see, our True Sacred Reality.

It is past due time, that we stop being passive creatures of habit, and start deliberately creating our reality in a Most Positive Spiritual Productive Way. We are the creators of our reality. That means that we have been given the right to create our lives and surrounding worlds in the way we see fit. There is no one, and nothing that can force us to create anything in a particular way. We are totally free to create as we see fit, as long as we are not trying to force our beliefs and ways of doing things on others. Those times when we think we can and have made others change, we are wrong. When we tell someone to do something, and later we recognize that person did what we told him or her to do, we must understand that he or she did what was done through personal choice to do so. Sometimes we get so conceited, that we think within ourselves, we have the power to make others change and do anything we want them to do. However, we only have the power that others choose to give us, when it comes to how they think, say, and do things.

We are passive creatures of habit that are always trying to be aggressive when it comes to knowing what is best for others, and telling others what they should be doing. The sharing of my scripted words could be seen as such. However, that is not what my sharing is about at all. The difference in what I am doing in and through my scripted words is this. I am sharing with you what has come to me, for me, not for you. I simply share what is for me with whoever chooses to partake, because it is highly likely that some of what works for me, will also work for someone else. This brings to mind one of the habits that all of us either still have or once had. I am speaking of the habit of pointing a finger at another. We are very quick at seeing others errors, and pointing a finger at their shortcomings. Why is that the case so often, could it be by chance, that it takes the focus off what we are doing? I plead guilty of doing such.

I am committed to doing everything within my power, to be as aggressive as possible in living this gift of life to the fullest here on Earth Mother. Daily I seek a greater connection of Oneness first with GREAT SPIRIT, and then with the Whole of Creation. I recognize that I am not in this thing called life alone. As I stay in the Sacred Presence and the Divine Energy of GREAT SPIRIT, all of my perceived needs are always met in Divine Time. There is an old saying I heard many of my elders say while I was growing up; “I may not get what I want when I want it. However, God is always right on time.” The only form of lack there is, is our lack of belief in GREAT SPIRIT as our Ultimate Eternal Source of Abundant Supply, and that abundant supply is waiting for us to align with it, in order that we will receive the eternal flow of abundance that is rightfully ours. I am an Aggressive Creature of Divine Habit. The habit I am speaking of is the habit of being in tune and flowing with the Oneness and Unconditional Love of GREAT SPIRIT. There is no other way for me to be.
