Many years ago people thought the world was flat and if we set out on the high seas we would fall off the edge. Great thinkers believed the whole Universe revolved around the Earth. They look up at the Sun and It seemed the Sun was Encircling the Earth. As religious leaders had great power it was natural to assume Earth was the only planet God had Blessed. Anyone who tried to bring in other theories was called a heretic and executed.
Once the great explorers circumnavigated the Earth and never fell off people then change their view and knew the Earth was Round. This still left the Religious leaders with the idea only Earth was at the center and all the planets revolved around it. When it was finally proven that the Earth actually revolves round the Sun the Religious bigots had to give in to the truth or so it seems?
That was a long time ago and today our information is changing at the speed of light. We are in the Information Technology age and as we progress life on earth becomes easier with all the new electrical gadgets or so it seems?
We no longer regard Earth as a planet that is the center of the Universe for we can view Earth from outer space and know we a just one of the billions of planets that are floating around the Cosmos or so it Seem?
We might start to ask ourselves what the heck has all this scientific stuff got to do with us being happy and successful. Who cares if the Earth is the center or not? What does it matter if the universe does not revolve around us? We've got bills to pay, children to care for, world events to be concerned with. We have very little time to wonder about being in the center of the Cosmos. It seems totally irrelevant where we are positioned or so it seems.
So who are we and what is our place on Earth and what is our reason for being here. A person who can ONLY see themselves at the center and no one else is a selfish person. This is the EGOS materialistic view of life and mankind's burden. This is the isolated route many people walk and no lasting happiness can be found there. These folks expect other people to go running around after them and have to be at the center of attention. Some people use money as a lure to make others attentive to them. Status symbols such as flashy cars, big houses, expensive clothes become attachments they associate with success and this reference point is paramount to impress others of their importance. Not all rich people are in this mold but the facts are facts and many people today revolve themselves around their possessions. If we own luxury items they are to be enjoyed but they are just the icing on the cake. We do live in a consumer orientated world or so it seems?
To see life in it's true perspective we need to detach ourselves of objects and find a detached objectivity. An open minded view of who we really are and the purpose we exist. When we view life through Spirits eyes we see everyone as the center in their own perspective. We are souls resting in and around a Body. The Soul is infinite therefore our body is the center of infinity. We can live as a free infinite Spirit with a temporary central body. All our desires which lead to our actions are done Just for the Joy of it.
Work, Just for the Joy of It.
Play a Sport, Just for the Joy of it.
Be at rest, Just for the Joy of it.
Live life, Just for the Joy of it.
In this state of mind our consciousness can focus clearly on the job at hand. We can detach from our possessions and can be clear minded in our creative skills. Once we find clarity we see ourselves at the center of the Universe and become centered in our objectivity. The results are truly outstanding. It is this invisible force that separates the Winners from the pack. It is not of human kind. It is a force that links us to the power of creation and in this central attitude we reach higher altitudes. We can achieve great success from this elevated position
Joy is our eloquent Soul and it guides our way through life's maze for we are that Soul, a union with the exalted Divine.
There is only one REAL ageless answer in the celebration life. The one God has given us all. We fall from grace when we live outside the center of the Garden of Eden, Paradise, Utopia, whatever name we want to give Love and Joy. Our headquarters meet in the middle of our brain. Four quarters meet in the middle of a glorious existence. A point where our awareness becomes flamed by the power of Infinite possibilities. Sparks of wisdom light up each neuron and as each neuron alights, our minds illuminate with universal intelligence.
Each one of us is unique in our human form and our creativity should not be locked away. When we are aware we are all at the center of the Cosmos and we all share the knowledge and wisdom that leads to a successful life, we then have found our purpose of life. Helping others to enjoy their life helps us overcome our human flaws, imperfections and shortcomings. Using our creative skills to there maximum achieves our mission of Joy. We can light up the cosmos for we are all cells in a Universal body. Lets all become a shining Star.
