I am reading one of Osho’s works: Being in love. Wow, mind blowing stuff. There is no love in the world, is what he says. You are born knowing nothing but love, but you are vulnerable because you depend on your parents for everything. And that is where the corruption starts. That is where the beliefs of your parents, their friends, your friends, your teachers and all the other members of your collective unconscious start to take hold of you and you get lost. You get lost in all the beliefs that once were justified and relevant but now are just believed. You lose your innocence, your love and the uniqueness and individuality of who you are.

The reason for this is control. We all know someone who has an “uncontrollable” child; a child who fails to conform to acceptable behaviour; one who does their own thing “with no respect for others”. Look at how we are trying to control the child to get them to conform. And we want them to conform to standards and norms that lack the love that we are capable of; standards and norms that have been in place for so long that few know the significance of them. How loving is it to take a child filled with innocence and love and drum the ways of this world into them? No matter what your religion or belief you have to believe that a child is born from a place of more love than what we currently live in. Surely? So what are we doing…unconsciously? We are removing the innocence and uniqueness of a being so that they can fit into a society that we spend everyday trying to fit into in denial of our truth and our very being.

For years I have been living a life for others because of this conditioning. I have always wanted to make people like me and to see them happy as a result of my actions. This has included my parents. In fact, they are the ones I have been most concerned about disappointing. So much so, that I reached a point of going into relationships for the other; because the other wanted to. In so doing, I lost myself and forgot what it is that I want. Fortunately this realisation is never too late as the truth is always with you; you only have to drop the lies. It is easier than it sounds. How do you know whether it is a lie or not? If you can defend yourself when under heavy questioning with a clear heart, then it is your truth. If you see yourself getting overly defensive because you are filled with fear of the illusion crashing around you, then you have found one of the lies to drop. Congratulations! Oh, and it is only difficult to drop them if you hold onto them. Otherwise, they simply fall away!

Okay, so this is meant to be a view on the world. What has been going on? What lies have we been fed and held onto? How have we given our choice away and conformed to the collective? Is YOUR financial situation as bad as THEY believe? Has YOUR life changed for the worst as was predicted? If it has, you have to ask yourself just how much you rely on the opinion of others to determine your health, wealth and happiness. Take back the responsibility for your life and know that you are in charge because it is your life, despite all the conditioning you have carried for all this time – it is still your life and always will be!
