The Conscious Crow: Truth is a slippery element

Inside each and every one of us is a story untold.  New pieces arrive at the surface born inside every situation and interaction that reflect what we inherently believe about ourselves and the world.  We connect these pieces buried deep within our unconscious, revealing insights, weaving a story built more or less upon the past that presently, and inaccurately guides our lives.  The present is cascaded with our mental stream acting as a silent narration to every move we make.  It is a habitual, reliable way of interpreting the world that we have become so accustomed to.  We continue to practice these opinions out of habit, simply abiding without thinking to question its validity, and following its detrimental wake.  When we consciously follow our thought patterns we see the information handed down to us is our truth only because we were taught as such.

Truth is a slippery element constantly changing.  What we currently think and believe isn’t necessarily formed out of our own accord but rather an adopted perspective handed down from our ancestors and society.  A trail of breadcrumbs that we have accumulated over the years ingrained and drawn into our psyche out of necessity and expectation.  There is an unconscious bias seeping into our mindset and quietly overtaking our lives.  It is an underlying belief system responsible for our actions, habits, beliefs and values, incessantly playing a weary, broken sound of the past.  Since we are a product of our environment we unconsciously adopted this view of the world we see today- based on the view of the world yesterday. 

We are comfortable with the ideas we’ve learned and automatically revert to the known, repetitive approaches without realizing how much of it is stale knowledge and is steering our life in a constraining way.

If we consciously approach our mental soundtrack and allow ourselves to question our thoughts we will find many false, outdated habits.  Ghandi speaks to the importance of finding these precious seeds of awareness, for they dictate and direct where we find ourselves today.  The evolution of our actions start with belief, and “your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your habits, your habits become your values, your values become your destiny.”  Consider what it is that you believe and if your life reflects this, or that of another’s.  This one question could single-handedly plant the seed to awakening, and steer your life in a conscious direction.
