Ummmm.....is following that analogy, as a human, the smartest, or the hardest thing we can do?
I started studying quantum physics about 10 years ago....I know, I know..."Oh you mean" The Secret"?? Actually before that. I had a deep interest in psychology, which somehow got me very interested on philosophy...which after some major rabbit hole diversions in my life led me to metaphysics into quantum physics. I am so not going to knock the book "The Secret”, because it really did open the eyes to many and sparked an interest, as in "You mean we really have SOME control over our lives"??? But there is so much more than just imaging that money rolling in...that sentence right there is another 100 blogs on their way!!! Man you don't know the half of it...Here goes the brainwashing and conditioning stuff I always go back to.
We are brought up, by well-meaning parents, for the most part, that tell us to fight to get ahead, “no pain no gain”, “fight AGAINST cancer, fight AGAINST drugs, fight against and again and again...Actually the fight against cancer, drugs and crime ...well it ain't workin' so well...we have more of all of the things we fought AGAINST...there is that word again...the A word...No wonder we all suffer from adrenal fatigue, sleep deprivation, overwhelming feelings of self-loathing and unworthiness. We think we have to fight; we have to compete to win...but ask yourself what is it that we win?? In the end, on your death bed you aren't going to kick yourself in the ass because you didn't have time to upgrade to the next model BMW you are going to wish you lived, loved and enjoyed more.....that you didn't just buy flowers for the dining table when you had guests...you'd wish you grew beautiful things in the garden of your soul...
There is a song we all know all too well...you know you are going to sing it with me...so let's go:
"Row row row your boat gently DOWN the stream
Merrily,merrily,merrily,merrily life is but a dream"
That really is a very deep profound song...if we just let go of the oars...just a little...had some faith in our ability to create...and really believed that life was never meant to be a struggle...that we were meant to live our DREAMS...that this IS a feeling Universe...just how differently would you live your life???
Yep...there is much to learn from dead fish..........
