Look down at your feet, regardless of where they’re planted is paradise. If it isn’t it’s because the need to reach for it is in place and blocking you from seeing the paradise you’re already in…
When all of a sudden you’re not in paradise, what is it that takes you from it? There are TV commercials that tell you where to find paradise, but truth is if you’re not in paradise it’s because you left. For years I was constantly searching for paradise and except for brief moments, it always eluded me. Why this happened was because paradise was always contingent on something that was outside of myself and it was always a paradise based in what I thought I needed to provide comfort. There’s no need to list what this paradise was because there were so many things; the things reached for are numerous. False paradise comes in many many forms and unless you truly take a step back to see this, the reaching for it will always be there, and seeing it will never happen.
The lies of the Conditioned Mind will dictate what you will reach for as your paradise. Until the conditioning to reach is changed, paradise will continue to be sought and never be seen. The only way this will change is by going inward to discover why there’s a need to reach and once this is revealed, therein lies paradise. Paradise isn’t from the thought realm, it comes from the still small voice within. It tells you it doesn’t matter where you are or what’s happening, all you have to do is look down at your feet and regardless of where they’re planted this is paradise. If you need something else it’s because the need to reach is still in place and blocking you from seeing the paradise that’s already in place…
