Losing Self Awareness

How does one lose touch with their inner self. Remember as a child how we were all able to enjoy the little things? The entire world was so beautiful like our very own playground. We loved everything and everyone for it's simplicity. How does that get taken away? Does it ever, or do we just lose touch of remembering what we truly want? How do we become a slave to our mind and feelings? How does our soul lose control? Think back to before you got immersed in you all-caught-upness of how serious life was supposed to be, before someone said, "stop playing around and get serious." Before you bought into that nonsense you had a highly charged sense of enthusiasm, joy, spontaneity, and lightheartedness. Along the way dealing with life and becoming educated it was hidden.

Brought about by our never ending ego and inability to be happy with who we are. Surrounded by so much beauty that we can't see because we don't want to take the time. Can we ever get back in touch? Can we shed the years of teachings that led us to this point? Why can't we play around and be unserious? Yes, we can be happy. We can share our wisdom, loving kindness with everyone that we encounter. We can become reconnected with our soul, god and the universe. And by doing so be at peace with ouselves. This is my journey to regain that consciousness of my inner self. To break down the barriers that I have created over the years of my life. To fully love myself so that others can love me. And to become one with god and the universe.

  1. We should all "re-learn" to see and experience the world through a child's eyes. We should be enthusiastic and excited about the minutest of events. We sould treat everyday as a blessing to us and a miracle. And most of all, we should utilize each day to make sure we are making a difference inn this world even by the simplest means. Helping someone pick something they dropped, opening a door for someone, or even just really smiling at someone who is having a bad day even if they "forgot" to be nice to you. We cannot accomplish tghis if we don't fully realize we have this capability in ourselves. The only time we'll be able to do thgat is if we truly see ourselves in a loving light. I am grateful for having read this blog to be able to look at myself and see that I can do much better. And for that I would like to thank you Josh.

  2. Interesting blog, we don't forget what it was like to be a child. We get convinced that it is better to be older by the people surrounding us. It is easy to remember junior high school, when I was told that it was no longer cool to do the things that were fun for me. The desire to be treated as an adult by our parents requires changes in behavior to make us equals in their eyes, and thereby allowing us to go against our parents directions. No, we never forget what it was like to be a child. We just choose to shed the child.
