Here is what I have for you today.

We are all born into a conversation called Good/Bad. We have no say in
it. It is in part culture, in part society and in part the opinions
and beliefs of the people who bring you up. By this I mean family,
extended family, teachers, friends.

These conversations create who you are. You get to be someone in the
face of them. You make decisions based on them. You run life by them.

I am in the middle of a self-development seminar.

I have distinguished so much about my beliefs and the way I perceive
the World, there is little left to distinguish or disappear.

Or have I?

Underneath all these, life just is. It really is that way. We live by
agreements we haven’t even made and yet we don’t do anything to undo
them, in fact we go on to make even more agreements we don’t want to
live by.

“Will you make the tea Mark?” “sure” and underneath that “I don’t want
to” and underneath that “I ought to because she did last night” and
underneath that “I want to earn enough money to get a cook” and “it
ought to be another way”.

All the shoulds and ought to’s in life. All the supposed to be’s. All
hooks into not accepting the world the way it is. And all choices you
haven’t chosen that lead to unhappiness.

Consider for a moment if your life stood for something more important
than merely being conscious.

I mean, we are all conscious right. Why make that your lifes purpose?

Spiritual leaders like Christ and Buddha tell us we should rise above
petty arguments and find spiritual peace, love.

Okay great, I no longer think my neighbour is annoying when his dog
barks at 05:00 am and I don’t want to poison the little bugger. We can
live in harmony. So what!

What if you had a conversation about yourself that made all that stuff
insignificant?

What if you took on something big? Real big?

You don’t know that you don’t know what is going on out there in the world.
And you don’t know that you make it up.
You and 6.8 billion other human beings are going round inventing stuff to provide themselves with explanations of what is happening in the world.
And then, teaching it to one another.
We are teaching it to one another in the form of beliefs.
And once we believe something to be true, our perception of it being true becomes distorted and it appears that it is true even when it is not.
This story is in everything.
It is a Chinese whisper waiting in the park.
It is in every baby’s first kiss.
It is the story of who we are and who we are not.
Take everything away and what have we got?
Nothing!

This afternoon, my partner Gina suggested we give away an unused laptop rucksack on Freecycle.

“I have my own version of Freecycle” I mused.

We live on a busy little one way system in Biggleswade, so I put the bag in front of our house with a big sign on it saying FREE.

Several hours passed and I really expected the bag to have gone, but no!

So I decided to add incentive for people to stop, by adding another sign, which said FREE MONEY.

Curious to see what would happen, I watched in wonder as car after car drove by.

People even walked past without noticing my sign. They didn’t even look!

Eventually a passing car screeched to a halt, reversed and looked.

After what seemed an age, the driver made a decision. To drive on!

It has to make me wonder.

Is the credit crunch real?

Or is it a belief system?

See you on the other side of the looking glass,

Mark Ty-Wharton.
