EXTROSPECTION vs. INTROSPECTION...

EXTROSPECTION vs. INTROSPECTION…

Acts of terrorism in the world invite a great deal of extrospection, which according to the dictionary means: habitual interest in or examination of matters outside oneself…

Introspection is the self-observation and reporting of conscious inner thoughts, desires and sensations. It is a conscious mental and usually purposive process relying on thinking, reasoning, and examining one's own thoughts, feelings, and, in more spiritual cases, one's soul. It can also be called contemplation of one's self, and is contrasted with extrospection, the observation of things external to one's self. Introspection may be used synonymously with self-reflection and used in a similar way…

During extreme extrospection, one is very adversely distracted from introspection, which is imperative in resolving personal and interpersonal problems…

We live in our contemporary world in the “fast lane,” which predisposes us to extrospection rather than introspection…

Many times, in our very troubled world, we are distracted from introspection by our very survival needs…

Terrorism, wars, bad economy, deteriorating environmental conditions, poverty, famine, severe illnesses, broken families, enmity between individuals and nations, based on so-called “differences” such as race, nationality, creed, social status, gender, and the like, are some of the most common distractions, which if allowed, prevent us from being introspective…thus, not only they handicap us by preventing us from resolving our problems, but make them progressively worse and unbearable…

Suffering, pain and unnatural and premature death are the ultimate result…

AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT, AS THREE QUARTERS OF THE WORLD POPULUS BELIEVE IN REINCARNATION, IT SHOULD HAVE A HEALING AND UNIFYING POWER IN OUR VERY TROUBLED WORLD…WE COME IN EACH OTHER SHOES, REPEATEDLY, SWITCHING RACE, NATIONALITY, CREED, SOCIAL STATUS, GENDER…UNTIL WE LEARN THAT WE ARE ONE THROUGH GOD WITHIN AND EVERYWHERE…THEN WE FINALLY AND REALLY ACHIEVE…TOTAL FULFILLMENT…

We try to resolve these problems by lumping them all up together and dumping them on the lap of an elected official, who in order to be elected and lead, learns what the crowd wants, puts himself/herself in front of the crowd and promises to do all that the crowd wants to be done, in order to abolish all above ills…And this leader may be a genuine and great leader with the best intentions at heart…

And guess what? After the “honeymoon” is over, it never works that way…

JFK spoke the TRUTH, when he said: “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country!” Based on this statement, is Barak Obama following in JFK’s footsteps? We want to believe he does…

What is the solution?

We need to LIVE, TO PRACTICE DAILY AND HOURLY THE REALIZATION, THAT WE’RE NOT “DIFFERENT,” SEPARATED, BUT THAT WE ARE ALL ONE THROUGH GOD WITHIN AND EVERYWHERE…AND GOD’S MAIN ATTRIBUTE IS LOVE…

WE NEED TO FORGIVE AND LOVE OURSELVES AND EACH OTHER, WHICH MEANS LIVING IN FREEDOM, PEACE AND JOY…BEING HEALED…

THIS APPROACH TO LIFE BRINGS US FROM EXTROSPECTION TO INTROSPECTION, AND ENABLES US SPECIFFICALLY AND INDIVIDUALLY TO DISCOVER OUR BLOCKS, BARRIERS, OBSTACLES, RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS FROM THIS AND OTHER INCARNATIONS, AND LET GO OF THEM, AND THUS BE FREED AND ENABLED TO CLEAVE TO AND BENEFIT FULLY FROM OUR GODLY OMNIPRESENT AND OMNICENT INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE SELF…REACHING NIRVANA, TOTAL FULFILLMENT…

IN ESSENCE, LOVE IS THE ANSWER MY DEAREST FRIENDS!

LOVE ALWAYS,

Adrian
