Noxious Weeds

Do you believe you are at the mercy of fate or luck? Do you feel you are at the mercy of other people or that your life is less than what you would have it because of other people? Do you feel you have any control at all over the circumstances which surround you?

When people talk about the chaos in other countries, or in your own, do you feel most of it has nothing to do with you? When you hear of earthquakes or tsunamis, do you feel it has nothing to do with you? Perhaps you say “It doesn't matter to me, it's their problem, not mine.” When you hear story after story of the destruction of the Rainforest, do you state emphatically “So what, I'm not doing it!”

Perhaps you consider yourself a forward thinker or perhaps even enlightened or deeply spiritual. You pray and meditate, maybe you call upon whomever or whatever you consider 'God' or call upon your guides and angels, or pour over your holy books. Then what? The problems still persist.

Many go to channelings, to church or to seminar after seminar. Still the problems that may or may not be perceived as your concern, persist.

I am an American, perhaps you are too. Or maybe you are from another country. Are you happy with the state our/your country is in? Do you believe we and our rights are respected? Are you free to live your highest ideals and dreams? Do you feel the sanctity of life is protected? Of ALL life, not just Human?

Do you feel different, separate, superior to or inferior from people of other races, cultures, lifestyles, religious beliefs, or ideology? Of the opposite gender? If so, have you ever asked yourself why?

Do you feel you will 'just die' if you can't get that special burger, that just right dress, the latest and coolest cell phone, miss that TV show that comes on at the same time each week or do you find yourself watching intently (between programming) the commercials touting the benefits of this or that drug? Then wonder why, all of a sudden, every where you turn you are meeting people with the very illness the drug claimed it could cure or perhaps you or a loved one falls victim to this particular illness.

Do you ever wonder how you came to believe that which you do?

Do you tend your growing ground and place particular attention upon your choice of seeds? If not there are many who are more than happy to dig the furrows of your mind and plant the seeds of noxious and invading weeds that bear fruit of the poisonous kind.
