A Prison of Our Own Making

Some people believe that a prison has bars and it is a place of punishment. Sometimes its not just criminals that are in prison. Sometimes very good people, think that if they do something for themselves it will be a bad thing.

I witnessed many people that stay in a job that makes them miserable because somewhere along the way they lost their own self worth or never had it. This also happens with marriages as well. Our society is so driven by guilt that is it a wonder the high suicide rate.

When we sacrifice ourselves in such a way, our souls start to slowly die. It is a touchier worse than the death. It is amazing the norms that we've excepted to fit into what we call society.

The question is who decided these norms? Is it cultural? Religion based? Why is it we feel that we must fit in so badly. Was it our parents? Their parents? When is it we finally have the right to decide for ourselves?

I have watched people stay together out of obligation. Each in their own personal prison. One thinking they have to stay because they have a handicap that they can't be independent. The other refusing to allow the person with the handicap to become independent. One begins to wonder who is the one with the real handicap.

Only after the death of one of them is the other finally free and independent. So much time wasted, that could have been better used for happiness. We all are capable of learning and changing. We have to first choose too.

These oppressive relationships that hold us down serve no purpose. Do we really have to hit rock bottom to see that we are capable of so much more. I once met a person that said, Rock Bottom was death. I beg to differ. Rock bottom, is that invisible line that once someone in our life crosses it there is no going back. We each have a line of how much we will put up with. Once someone crosses it. We are done with them or we will change. 

We are all adults that can choose for ourselves. We must reclaim our personal power or lose a piece of who we are bit by bit.

The Messengers

We are the mediums and channelers that bring forth the messages. It is not our job to censor or edit the message. It is amazing to us, how you take a message and instantly try to make it a negative message.

These messages are channeled with love and carrying. We want all who receive their messages to hear them and reflect on them. You have free will for a reason. Please consciously use it. Take back your power, hear the message with its positive tone and take bite size pieces if you choose into your life.

When you choose to play the victim you are in a prison of your own making. That is why on of the tarot cards shows a person that looks like they are imprisoned. Upon closer inspection though you will see that all the person has to do is step out of the rope or move a stick and they are imprisoned no more. They never really were it was a prison of the minds own making.

Next time remember that in order to participate in life you do have to take action. No one can do it for you.

Namaste,
