Peace to Your House no. 17

“Peace to your house.”

Embrace the Within.

Choosing enslavement is easy. Enslavement takes no thought, no action, and no change. Folks will enslave themselves to ideas that they formed as children, ideas that they were indoctrinated with, and keep these ideas all their life. There is no questioning, no searching, and no growth. My beliefs don’t require an elaborate amount of mental gymnastics, my beliefs don’t require violence, my beliefs don’t require coercion or force . . . My belief only requires belief.

And I get to choose. I get to choose whether I wake up feeling like trash or not. I get to choose whether I wake up and feed myself trash or not. I get to choose whether I wake up and fill my day with trash or not. I get to choose whether I wake up and live a trashy life or not. And for the past fourteen days, I have awoken to make the better choice.

And freedom is a lot more difficult than enslavement. There are choices I get to make and those choices mean the difference between freedom and enslavement. When my body feeds off trash, when my mind is thinking about trash, then my spirit is going to be a giant landfill. So, getting my body and mind together can only help fuel my spirit.

I used to think that I was doing all the things I needed to keep up appearances of living a good life. Everything looked good on the outside. It was a great facade. BUT until I took ownership of my whole life, my whole journey and stopped being a bystander to my own experience, nothing ever changed. I kept doing the same things. Until I started to want to change, nothing changed.

And it only takes the decision to start. And then the dedication to health is a journey of itself. And that is the choice between owning your choices and owning your life or just being enslaved to everything around you. Being enslaved to your emotions, being enslaved to the opinions of others, being enslaved to the media, being enslaved to the thoughts, being enslaved to the process of a fallen world. BUT you get to choose every day. You get to choose where this life is going. You get to choose your focus. You get to choose your journey. What thoughts, what actions, what history, what routine is enslaving you?

Peace to your home. Bless your being. The reign of God is now. Have the day you want. I hope you find whatever you’re looking for.

Peace to Your House no. 16

“Peace to your house.”

Embrace the Within.

People are always going to find reasons not to like you. Some will even find reasons to hate you. That usually has little to do with you and a lot to do with them. If I find myself feeling anger or hatred for someone, it says a lot more about my problems than it does about the actions of another.

Our triggers are what we need to work on fixing. The things that give us over to our passions and excessive emotions are the things we need to examine. We don’t want to walk around like a giant Pacman consuming everything or an emoji carried to extremes by everything we encounter. I need to find peace just like you need to find peace. And neither of us are going to find that peace for each other, we have to do the work ourselves.

All of us are different. We all have different circumstances, backgrounds, and genetic characteristics that define us, however, we all have mostly the same key parts that help us control our lives. We have a brain and a spirit. That brain makes some sort of sense out of all the inputs we have into our body and the spirit is what we truly are. You are not your brain. Your brain is your filter for all the stuff that your body is processing. So getting that brain in top health is going to help you evaluate and decide about what information your spirit has to process. That information that gets through your brain is what influences your spirit. What you think about and what your brain gets immersed within both impact the quality of your spirit.

You are not your brain and you are not your body, BUT a healthy mind and a healthy body are important to a healthy soul. Consider what you are letting your mind feed your soul.

Peace to your home. Bless your being. The reign of God is now. Have the day you want. I hope you find whatever you’re looking for.
