ILLUSIONS OF LIFE LEADING TO UNCERTAINTIES!!
Aren’t we all caught up with the umpteen temptations that are always lurking about waiting to inspire one with its teasing tentacles to prey and lure us into the world of illusions? Each and every one of us get caught in this ever tantalizing and sensual ways of the illusions.
Many go about and build their hopes, dreams, and visions on these illusions and they could actually be built on some limited beliefs and perceptions which may in reality not exist. This can be very disheartening and letting down especially with our yearnings and desires that are growing deep-rooted with the illusions which are bringing about a certain amount of illusions into our life.
Be it the path of spirituality if anything else is always filled with these enticing illusions which could actually derail us or allure us off the path into something else completely different. When caught in the trap of the illusions one may not actually realize the path getting derailed or getting off track. As we can get mesmerized feeling life is offering us everything on a platter and what more can one ask for!
The point comes, life will offer everything on a golden platter and also open doors of opportunities coming our way. But the initials days of hardship and realization have to be there. When we don’t have this and just go about the path chosen with pure ignorance and blinded beliefs would really be of no importance or consequence. After blaming or cursing life for the fall or drop into the pit will be wasteful.
Owning up and getting to know the necessities of going through certain hard experiences that are dished out will only make us stronger and more mindful. Through the art of acceptance, the forgiveness we can build strong pillars of support for self to work through the harrowing and treacherous paths that we happen to tumble on.
The tougher the life, the more the issues, better is the journey and amazing experiences being given for our souls growth and evolution. Fears and anxieties which circle about due to the circumstances of not knowing what to expect can put us on a downward spiral of resistance and uncertainties. We resist when we are unsure of the outcome and the whereabouts of what we choose.
Uncertainties should be acknowledged and respected as through this it is clear that the person is thinking and also analyzing what to do? And how to proceed? But getting caught on the path of
What
Why
Where
When
How
Can put us through an embarrassing situation trying to own up to the whole exercise.
Uncertainties can arise from the fear that is within us or at times lack of confidence in self. The illusions of life can at times be misguiding and the fears or a certain suppressed emotions can take a dominant seat. That would automatically bring Uncertainties into the front seat it’s irrelevant whether we wish to acknowledge the same.
So when dreams are built on a shaky foundation of illusions the natural path of uncertainties opens up for us. There is no looking back or even retreating from where we began. Since illusions can be deceiving the uncertainties would make it really difficult for us to even understand or to accept what is unfolding.
A beautiful example that I would like to share to make one understand the illusions of life that lead to uncertainties is :
Take a deep breath close your eyes, take a moment to settle in, and make yourself comfortable for about five minutes.
Visualize yourself driving or walking through a desert…!! The drive may be exhilarating as you swish past sand dunes and see the sands shift about changing its path. Now you feel thirsty and you have lost your route and the GPS isn’t working. Notice the feeling that starts creeping up. Holding onto that feeling now try to look around for water… you feel you see some kind of dwelling which can actually be like an oasis at a distance. You rush to the spot only to know that it is a mirage. There is nothing there but sand.
Notice what you feel and how the feelings/ emotions are creeping up. The sun is in the path of setting and the desperation within you is growing. Take a deep breath now and shake yourself out of this space knowing your absolutely safe and at home. Look around to bring your attention back to reality.
Through this short exercise, one can understand how illusions can play tricks on our minds and also allow uncertainties to creep in. It is than up-to us on how we react or act depending on the situation. In case you are feeling shaken or uncomfortable as body believes what the mind experiences. Walkabout and drink some water and affirm all well know you’re happy and safe.
The reason I even gave this simple exercise is to make one understand how the illusions can lure your mind into believing that something is there even if it’s not there. Through this how uncertainties creep up creating havoc into our spaces and lives.
Since our body believes everything the mind showcases and experiences the body language changes with the situation and we may start showing major reactions as uncertainties sets to take the dominant seat. Whereas when prepared and understanding that one should not build hopes and dreams on the illusions of life but on the reality of life the uncertainties will automatically take a back seat.
It is then completely up-to the mind to understand and believe that certain illusions are to be left just as illusions and move away for one’s own peace and happiness. Please note illusions are not bad it’s just that at times these are just beautiful teachers bringing in important lessons for us.
Acknowledging the importance and the lessons will make these illusions disappear as quickly as it appeared in front of us. The fact is on should be mindful and know that it’s an illusion and not the reality of life. By being mindful and knowing this would keep one more focused and centered.
Then there is no room for dejections or failures of life which can actually make it difficult otherwise. Hereby keeping a control over self these thoughts will not appear or even if some show it would be brushed away by you naturally.
On the path, we choose we should focus on reaching our destination without looking for shortcuts.
Every experience brings a beautiful lesson, no matter how hard or bitter it is. Experience and Acknowledge the teachings.
