It's Just An Illusion......Why Are People So Caught Up On Material Things? (1091 hits)


Shifting The Mindset From Material Gain To Unconditional Love.

We live in a world full of natures beauty, but opposed to enjoying the beauty of nature and what the Creator has given us---many have decided to rather enjoy material things and destroy the beauty of Gods nature. To engage in things that look good but are not good for Gaia (Mother earth,) or humanity in a whole. Instead of electronic vehicles---because of the material and money gain, the powers that be decide to sell and drive big Hummers that pollute the air, instead of going green and paperless---more trees are cut down for paper, (which is just going to go into the trash,) instead of recycling---glass bottles and plastic containers go into the trash, instead of organic vegetables many of our farmers decide to pollute the air and the earth with pesticides and insecticides, and more over instead of using natural energy---fossil fuels are used which causes an imbalance of Gaia's (Mother earth's) carbon cycle. Although many of us are educated on the benefits of paying close attention to the dangers that pollute our earth, many still are ignorant to the fact that we are killing our earth and ourselves. Poisoning the air just to gain more money and to look cute/fine in that $75, 000 machine that is ultimately one of the major contributions to the big black hole of the ozone layer. The sad thing about it is that the ignorance of the people is so vivid to the point that perhaps once those who are not educated about the facts---are educated about the trouble that our earth is in, they will continue to buy bigger vehicles to pollute the earth, continue to use fossil fuel, etc. etc.

"Naked We Entered The Earth And Naked We Shall Leave"

Not only has love for material things become a great contributing factor to killing Gaia (Mother earth,) but it has also become one of the major causes of hate and jealousy between humanity. Young men and women are murdered on the streets everyday due to something material, whether it's someone stepping on someones brand new pair of sneakers, or someone sitting on someones car, the love for material gain has caused much chaos between humanity, nature, and the divine spirituality of the people. Materialism has distracted the world from the understanding of the concept that "We Are One."

I once heard an elder of mine say "The more money one has, the more problems they gain," which to me has proven itself correct on many different levels and especially from experience. However, does our world see the results of what happens when one reveals to the world the material riches that one has without one knowing the full understanding of the spiritual riches that one has. Well, according to the world that we live in, many will celebrate the material riches and completely over look the spiritual riches that has been bestowed upon us by the Creator. The material riches in many cases becomes a God, to the one who possess it and a God, to those who are the observers of the one who posses it. More so to the point where many will treat the evil driver of a convertible Mercedes Benz better that the spiritually rich one who drives an old beat up truck. This is because many of the observers can only see as far as the eyes will allow them to see without allowing the discerning heart to speak. But what if the one who was driving the Mercedes Benz was spiritually broke but as well didn't have a dime to his/her name and what if the man/women driving the broken down truck was spiritually rich and had millions of dollars without visually splurging, would you change the way that you treated each person or would you change "You" the way that you are as a person and begin to treat everyone equally out of love? Or do you continue to treat people unfairly because you only observe with the visual eyes and not the heart based on your own ulterior motives. This is how many select their mates, their religious leaders, and politicians to run their communities, cities, countries and our world and look at where we as a people stand, waiting for a savior, but "We are the ones that we are on" It is time for us to clean our hearts and world. It is important to cleanse our minds, body and souls of all of the filth that the illusions of materialism has dumped into each and everyone of us through cleansing the Chakra system. The heart is charging us for everything that we are doing to our world and ourselves and the only way that we can completely be free from this illusion of materialism is by cleansing completely the heart and therefore the next time that you interact with your "Brothers & Sisters of Humanity," the only thing that you will be able to see is the heart and not move on false pretenses.

Let's save humanity and our world together by by doing the right thing by living in love and not materialism!
