DARKNESS SWALLOWS US

BECOMING TRAPPED

Our outlook on life and state of mind take us onto different paths and levels of existence where we meet like minded fellow travellers. We 'arrive' on a circle in life which keeps going around and around. On these circles are recruiters that test us to see how far we are willing to go - we find this in clubs, societies, the business world, even in relationships in a very subtle form. We become tools in the hands of others, blissfully unaware of where this will lead. Most of what happens in our lives are not due to our hard work, or lack thereof, but because of selection. These circles we are on start spiraling, either into the light with more enlightenment and awareness, or into darkness with more frustration and confusion. Once we start spiraling it is not so easy to stop it and it gets out of control. When we are spiraling into the light it's okay because we are heading in the right direction, not so with the darkness, it becomes a web that eventually cocoons us. We all need and use each other to some or other degree with one enormous difference : those in the light share with others their knowledge of freedom without strings attached - it is considered a gift to have the ability to receive the wisdom of the light and therefore it is given as a gift to others. The darkness however does nothing without a return - there are always strings attached - you owe me one - here nothing is done without some form of  payback......so, yes, we do prosper - but at what cost? What is the payback for doors being opened for us to prosper? It is normally of an emotional kind - guilt, shame, wrongdoing that we want to keep hidden....dirt on us - things we cannot pay off with money and it is here where we are swallowed by darkness and become trapped, being forced into situations where we do not wish to be, but are helpless to avoid. One of life's greatest frustrations is helplessness, where someone else has taken control of a part of our lives. This places us under a cloud of doom and gloom, awakening many fears and enormous frustration leading to irritation, anger and outbursts, normally against the wrong people, like our spouse and children, those closest to us. We never know when and how this payback is going to come, but we know it will and each time it spirals deeper into a helpless darkness of despair. THIS IS NO WAY TO LIVE A HAPPY, FREE, CONTENTED LIFE WITH THESE HEAVY CHAINS OF REGRET HANGING AROUND OUR NECKS......©
