The future is unknown. We can either fear it or embrace it. If you find yourself stressed out about not knowing what will come next, you are trying to control the future. And what is the desire for control rooted it? Fear. Embrace the unknowing. We have survived this long, and our present moment has unfolded into where we find ourselves now. The general consensus I feel around me is that the world is growing increasingly darker, but that is no reason to loose ourselves to that shadow of fear. Is it easy to fall into the gaping mouth of eternal darkness? Yes, of course. It is not easy to withstand its power, and yet it is more than possible, with the tools of a strong spirit and quiet mind.
While I am spiritual, I was raised to be religious, and this whole idea of the future reminds me of one of my favorite verses, Luke 12:27 -
“Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.”
What can stress and worry add to the quality of our life? None. It increases our blood pressure, makes our mind race and fill with doubt, it throws us far from the subtle but powerful core of our spirit, of intuition, of our soul. Sit in silence until you find that silent center of your self, there all questioned are answered. In the silence, all becomes known through the unknown.
