With Yesterday looming Doomsday,
21.12.12, there were all sorts of predictions and prophecies of
Meteors, Volcanic Eruption and even Zombies. You could even bet on
it, well whoever did, did not win!!!
One of the biggest shifts in my being
is having the ability to use paradigms and live after a near death
experience. I am been petrified of things in my life and now simply
I do not care about anything because I know about the place after
life. We should never be scared of living.
Maybe the world has come to an end and
we simply do not know it?? I know a hypothetical, but for there to
be life there must also be death. This is as simple as beginning and
end.
There are so many books of ways of
living from Ekhart Tolle, The Power of Now, The Secret, Celestine
Prophecy which is a novel it has brought allot of awareness away from
strong religious views of scaring us into doing the correct thing
where ancient Egyptians were petrified to leave there beloved Home
for the fear of the God Ra. We are now looking into fulfillment on
different levels. This cannot be found in material goods or number
of friends we have or how many dollars. It is the feeling of how
satisfied we are sitting or laying with ourselves within.
Can you lay or sit with nothing around
you and leave your consciousness to stillness and be satisfied. My
answer within myself is my own satisfaction, and we all find
different levels of what satisfies us. I have basically been on POP
detox since Spring Racing Carnival only posting what I have to when
I have to. I have taken a big step back from Social Media and not
daring pick up a magazine or watch pop culture. This detox has been
amazing.
I have found that when I pop onto my
facebook account I look at the images on my site and see that I am
leading the life that looks like an 'OK' magazine or my own 'Who'
weekly. There is no way my life is as interesting or intriguing as
the pictures I lead you to believe. My greatest achievement today
was to coax my 2 year old into eating some eggs for brekkie.
I look at social media such as Facebook
and it is a handy tool for people to stay in touch and have a glimpse
of what people are doing. I have come to the conclusion that
everyone is way more fabulous, eating way better food, drinking the
most amazing cocktails in the most fabulous cosmopolitan place ever.
(Oh, and wearing fabulous clothes, why don't we see the PJ's?) We
are all writing our own stories of what we want our lives to look
like. We are building the house for people to see the shelter that
we dwell in, although there are only very few that see behind the
doors. These are rarely the facebook friends we meet at engagements
to cheers and catch up with latest 'Facebook' news, these are the
friends that know my life.
They know what my children look like,
where I keep my hats and shoes. They know my star sign and the way I
laugh when I cannot stop.
Sometimes the familiarity of Facebook
takes over the identity of the individual. Unfortunately of late
some very dear friends of mine have grown apart and I have been
devastated.
I am transforming my life to detox pop
culture all together in my life with a limit per day for posts on
social media and what truly interests me. I am not going to listen
to ridiculous garbage about what gossip comes up, if I like a dress
or a hat, I will like it and simply not occupy my mind with it any
further.
I do not need material possessions to
make myself happy. Yes, when I go to the races, I will dress in my
favourite clothes and wear make up and have my hair done, but this
will not define me as a person, this is simply what I choose to wear.

I am choosing to see yesterday as the
end of the world, Yes! The end of a funny little fickle world to me!
I am choosing my new world to give more to myself and more of myself
to my family. I love writing, and that is it a love and an outlet.
I am not preaching to say this is what
you should do. It is not!
Maybe you should look into your world
and see what you are looking at.
Choose to look at what you want to see.
The beauty is we are all individual, we don't have to like the same
thing. I actually embrace when someone is really different to me,
because they are not a carbon copy. Totally boring. I love to meet
people from different backgrounds with different stories. There is
no right way or wrong way, we don't all have to agree, we are allowed
to have our own feelings and thoughts and not 'like' what everyone
else is liking.
I laugh at how many people are totally
adoring my 'cherry' bike right now. Seeing I am 40 married with a
couple of children, people think it is bizarre for a mature woman to
be using it as a form of transport. But everyone loves it and tells
me. Now if I was 20, young and hot on the bike with every male
thinking I was fabulous on the bike, the poor cherry bike would be
hated.
Don't Hate the Bike! Look at why you
would dislike the bike???
Anyway, a bit too much philosophy for
the end of the world.
An old proverb my grandma used to say
was,
“Believe nothing of what you hear,
and half of what you see.”
I am just thinking where does that
leave us with facebook?
