What’s RIGHT about YOU?
Most of us have grown up in a world where we were coached and taught how to be and live. Coached by people who were living inside the insane asylym we call this “realty” and “modern civilization”. Wow, just how uncivilized and how crazy has this world really been? Look around.I remember one of my first truly magical/mystical experiences where I had succeeded at “parting the veil” and connecting to the divine. A being-of-light told me it was here to help answer my questions, and what did I want to know? Instinctively I responded in the way I had been conditioned, I asked, “What’s wrong with me?” I received the most unexpected response…“WHAT IF YOU HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING WRONG?”
“YOU HAVE NEVER SAID OR DONE ANYTHING WRONG!”
“YOU HAVE NEVER MADE A MISTAKE.”
I argued, no, you must be talking about another person… or no, you must be thinking of me from another lifetime. But THIS Jaden had made LOTS of mistakes and could never quite fit in to this world, could never quite, “get it right.”
After reflecting on this new viewpoint, I thought, “How could this be possible?” How is it possible that I would have never done anything wrong? Slowly I started remembering the craziness of my childhood and aculturation. I remember growing up, thinking, “gosh- something is REALLY wrong here, why does everyone hurt each other?” and “wow-this place doesn’t make any sense, they live backwards!” As I got older I learned, painfully, how to conform to the expections that this reality provided, but for some reason I always had trouble with it. So, naturally I concluded, “there is something wrong with me!” I can’t do anything right.
But what if that wasn’t true? What if this reality is really that backwards and everyone is trying to make it right and normal, even though it’s not? The longer I pondered this viewpoint, the more I remembered the truth of it. I remember at some point in my teens, after completing my mandatory religious training, that it seems like everything is backwards. That all I really have to do is do the OPPOSITE of what I have been told and I will get exactly to where I want to be! While it took me many years to find the courage to actually try this, it did turn out to be true for me. This world IS backwards!
We are conditioned to look for our “wrongness”. To constantly reflect on what we did wrong and how to improve ourselves. A focus that keeps us judging and putting ourselves down. But what if this is backwards?
