You’ll never be good enough and you have no value.
Shocking! I know.
This will come as a relief to you, since there is nothing that you can do to make yourself good enough. There is no-thing to make that will create enough value for you.
So you can give up the search.
All that you create and all that you are, is for the experience. It’s for fun, it’s for interest, it’s for learning or fulfillment.
Your value is not determined by anything that you do or any particular hat that you wear.
You are value itself. You are a river of gold looking outward onto an ecclectic world.
“Where is the gold?” You wonder.
You, as the river of gold, dress up in different outfits. You try to tinker with things of the world. You shapeshift into everything and anything, in the hopes of finding gold.
As you search for value within yourself, trying to ‘find yourself’…
“What makes me special? What makes me worth it?”
You entangle yourself further away from your inherent value. You are value itself. You are that which breathes value into anything in the world that anyone considers valuable.
Unknowingly, as you look into the world, you give it value. By your observance of it, you lend it your spirit. Your spirit and the spirit of everything you observe, are one and the same.
As you give something your attention, you lend to it your value. You feed it with that river of gold that runs through you.
And when you take your “eyes” away from something, you take away it’s value [to you].
That’s why as you search for value in the world, you come up short. Because you are looking away from yourself.
The more you search out in the world, or inside of your inner perceptual world, the more you are looking away from Value. Value is that which lives inside all of those things.
You don’t have to fight for it, you don’t have to figure it out. It’s already there.
So why does it seem so hard? Because it’s so simple. We live in a world of complexity. The more complexity, entanglement, and bondage, the more it seems “real”.
We’ve been trained to seek complexity. To look everywhere, dissect everything. And in this gaze, the simplest things are forgotten, glossed over.
You are that which you seek, quite literally.
Try just being yourself, doing exactly what you feel like doing, and trusting without a doubt that everything will work itself out perfectly.
How soon before the fears and doubts creep in? How soon before we’re back in a rush, angry, resentful, mournful?
Is living a spiritual life easy, in a world enraptured by bondage?
Can you be simplicity and truth in a room full of chaos?
Is it easier to live in suffering or to transcend that suffering?
I believe these are the questions the collective consciousness is answering. How far shall we stray from truth?
How far do you want to venture into madness, before returning to peace?
I hope that today [and from now on] you take time to ponder, what is my value? What does my value come from? If society deconstructed tomorrow, where would my value live?
Is it true that what I seek is right here? Am I what I am looking for?
I hope that you begin to slip these questions into your day.
Just like hanging chimes on your front porch or balcony.
Hang them up and then when a breeze comes through, you’ll remember they’re there. Maybe they’ll chime for you in just the right times.
With Love,
Heba
