ESOTERIC – PART 1 – THE SECRET
Common Sense from the Inner-Most Heart Darryl Crowder A few years ago, I started noticing that I dull or distract myself when something comes up that I don’t want to deal with directly. I am a strong finisher, however closing the last part of any project could take some time as I need to think through it and make sure everything is lined up logically. Whilst I am then able to fully justify my conclusions often I notice that if I had just called it immediately it would have prevented me delaying what I already know to be the case. However often I used this as an excuse for delay and time to over think it and justify why it is not the case and I allowed “logical” conclusions to distract me from the truth. During this I would dull myself with activity or food thereby allowing considerable delay in a decisive conclusion. For me I have learnt that living in a way that supports me not falling back on old habits (dulling) in the key. Let’s face it, whether or not we are prepared to admit it, we all know where to go to dull ourselves. It can be food, alcohol, sugar, or such things as activities like cleaning, gambling, sport, keeping busy, finding a reason to race off and do something urgently etc... (or dare I say it... fishing 🤭). How we as an individual describe this really depends on our own lived experience, however our 'inner-most knowing’ is clear if we are really honest with ourselves. From my perspective I need to be careful that I don’t get caught up in the false perception that “this is all there is”, when in truth, that is where I am at because I am not living in a way that support me to make the correct decision from my knowing. By connecting to who I am and not dulling or distracting myself I am able to clearly make decisive decisions from true impulsed purpose. Also, my body tells me when I have not been living in a way that supports my 'innermost knowing’. Stiff joints, tiredness, headaches, sore back & stomach cramping are all symptoms I get when I am not eating properly, sleeping enough or I am distracting myself in activity. This is really evident as I get older, the stiff joints are getting worse and taking longer to subside etc.. This really stood out from me recently when I had 3 weeks holiday and noticed that I didn’t have any joint pain, I wasn’t tired, and I was not running off to the toilet a few times each day. One week back at work and all three symptoms were back as if nothing had changed. For me it was getting rid of the secret and being honest with myself and supporting me to live in a way that is truthful. It really is common sense if you do it from you heart and your inner-most knowing. If it doesn’t feel right, look right, smell right, taste right and it distracts you from making a decision from your knowing rather than you find yourself justifying your decision to yourself or others then it is coming from distraction and is delaying you from going forward onto the next task or activity. So, there is no secret. Do it from your 'inner-most' knowing, everything is known and very simple.
