Those Who Focus on Life's Dark Side

Don’t be discouraged by the narrow thinking of others. Look for what’s intact, for everyone has an opening to their heart. Eventually, their light will shine through just being in your presence. Those who dwell on conspiracies and injustices in life are disconnected from their source. These souls are everywhere, the living dead.

They must not be ignored. Their numbers are increasing. They wander the corridors of life, disillusioned and powerless. They believe the world is controlled by forces greater than themselves. Their fascination with obscure groups verges on paranoia. And though the planet is controlled to an extent, spiritual masters are not affected.

Living on Earth is anything but easy. Every day people battle their way through life’s unexpected challenges. Though they might feel optimistic in the morning, by evening they are bedraggled and their energy is spent. Without connection to one’s source, the world appears dark and conspiring, insensitive and joyless.

With little knowledge of themselves or unable to tap wisdom’s wellspring, these individuals blame external forces for how their lives turned out. Unable to satisfy their yearning to be free, they find scapegoats to project their self-loathing upon. Their existence did not happen overnight, so it will take time for them to heal.

Dissatisfaction is a disease. Those who’ve not found inspiration in their lives likely can’t help others in the world. As a result, they blame external forces for their lack of power. And if they can’t bring themselves around to blaming individuals, they feel morally justified blaming secret societies, institutions, and abstract forces.

In a perverse way, they have disdain for the source of their own creation. God then becomes a conspirator with the audacity to create entities more powerful than the common man. Because their source of spiritual power is blocked, they cannot summon angelic legions whose mission is to keep the Earth’s darkness in check.

By blaming God, they forfeit their innate power, and then feel helpless in their lives. To snap them out of their predicament one must concentrate on what is still intact. Point out snowcapped mountains or sunlight on windowsills, and they’ll soon see a brighter world. Your mission is to keep these souls from walking off the edge.
