(IJCH) Commenting on Another Wonderful Post from @arbitraykitten - LOA: Manifest

IJCH - Inside JaiChai's Head (meaning: My warped, personal opinions and musings.)

I just read another wonderful post from @arbitrarykitten:

Then I posted this comment/reply to @arbitraykitten:

Hello Amiga,

Excellent post.

It motivated me to submit these musings:

From the dawn of man, the strong human survival instinct unconsciously prompts everyone to focus on negative things first.

"Hey Ugh, did you see that saber-toothed tiger?"

"No Slag. I was making sure that snake didn't get close enough to bite us!"

In fact, many studies have shown that most people will attend to negative things 10X more often than positive things.

Fast forward to the present and we see that this ancient survival mechanism is blatantly obsolete, but remains esconced in the human psyche, and stubbornly prevalent in all but a few cultures.

Sadly, the tendency to key in on negative things before positive things represents a major barrier in accepting the positive nature and ever-present abundance of the universe.

And you cannot force this revelation onto anyone.

It must be self-directed.

If not, when the external impetus (aka: emotional crutch) is no longer around, the motivation quickly dissipates.

They must embrace it for themselves on a deep-down personal plane; not superficially, nor vicariously - and certainly not a moment before they are truly ready.

I invite anyone to take that inner journey.

Why?

Because I get immense joy to observe the influx of self-knowledge, connectiveness and serenity that magically, inevitably occurs in my new friends.

They learn how to honor themselves and to love others courageously and unconditionally.

In short, they become capable of truly celebrating all these precious moments we call life.

And then we can dance wih the universe together.

Imagine that?

Namaste, my friend.

JaiChai
