SYSTEM FAILURE

We all recognize System Failure.  Sometimes it’s unavoidable.  Having reached the end of a serviceable lifespan, working parts begin to slow and snag, eventually failing.  This describes both mechanical machinery and systems of varying social, emotional, and belief construct—of both the individual and the community aggregate.  Without doubt, this describes an aspect currently at work in your life.

Let us say that you personally employ a system of communication that allows you to negotiate unpleasant people—avoidance.  Now, having enjoyed a system failure at your most recent job, you have stepped into a new one and are surrounded by a variety of new, unpleasant people.  Avoidance, your comfortable, worn-in, and relied-upon system cannot serve you in your new position.  Your avoidance system quickly fails.

Will you fail too—or will you attempt to succeed by constructing a new system by which you will negotiate these unpleasant people in your new job?  Let us say that you choose to succeed, reaching out for resources that include books, workshops, and professional advice.  You return to the workplace so armed, and find that your efforts pay you beyond the hoped for results—you are paid by adding to your personal cache, skills that ease your ways in other aspects of life.

System Failure is not synonymous with Life Failure.  Quite often, it is an indication that it is time to move to the next level.  Mostly likely, you’ve had options available for moving to the next level for quite some time, but have ignored those options.  System Failure takes you to the brink, removing all choices.  At the edge of the cliff, with no backward movement available, the movement left to you is the Leap of Faith (or Leap of nonFaith).

In retrospect, most people are amazed by how long they trumbled by, making do with faulty systems and equipment.  No longer supported by, or even believing in, the systems in which they were invested, they still showed up every day to pay their dues.  Why?  Does the phrase, “The devil you know . . .” sound familiar?

People stay in harmful relationships, work in dulling jobs, pay empty praise to false gods, and give energy to destructive community rituals—all for the sake of avoiding the unknown.  FEEL what you do, and what you think, and how you believe, in your body.  How does it live there?  How does your Spirit FEEL about the house guests that you invite inside yourself?

Your beliefs are more than thoughts.  Your deeds are more than actions.  It is our nature to need passion of purpose.  Feel it truly.  Do not approximate it!  Do not worship false ideas and trod false pathways, telling yourself that what you feel is purpose, when what it is you feel is tradition, a human construction of repetition.  Human traditions are diverse and ever changing.  They are false and illusional, founded in cultural stigma, dogma, and miasmic tones of narrow minded thinking.  They are used to control.

Your divine purpose is grounded in Truth.  Truth, as it exists in the Divine, IS the Everlasting, in the Eternity of the Great All.  This is not a fount that spews forth ubiquitous and conflicting ideas of how a human should dress and speak and genuflect.  Do not confuse what is human with what is Eternal.  Do not attempt to govern Spirit by attempting to disguise its power and connection.  This is like attempting to separate and name the molecules of a star, and continue separating them into smaller and smaller sub-groupings, which develop a desire to differentiate.

Look at your life today.  In which areas are you experiencing System Failure?  Choose one.  Before this system fails you, look at some higher ways to serve your Life and the Great All with a system of belief and action that better reflects service and wholeness.

Be the person in the perfect relationship, if only with oneself.  Be the person in the perfect job, if only with oneself.  Be the person whose thoughts and actions are harmonious to the Seated Soul.  Listen to your Spirit.  Let it guide your mortal life.  This does not guarantee an easier way, but it does ensure one that is genuine.

Blessed Be
