COMMON SENSE

THE BIGGEST BULLS

Common sense is all to uncommon - evidence abounds that the vast majority of people are mad and wouldn't know common sense if it slapped them across the face! All the more reason to be uncommon, unusual and abnormal. And rather than resort to what the crazies view as common sense, you've got to come to your senses! There is no easier or more effective way to open the door to effortless living (yes, even in these trying times) than seeing, feeling, hearing, smelling and tasting reality for what it really is.

Check out all my videos on YouTube - there are over 300 of them!

BREAKING AWAY FROM FRUSTRATION AND WORRY

Frustration and worry are an integral part of many people's daily lives. And, yet, they are no more than useless thoughts which, if entertained, disable us by making us even more frustrated, more worried. Psychology tells us that the normal subconscious is buried in the past, whilst the conscious worries about the future. We need to rise above normality and rid our lives of the effects of frustration and worry. A clear and present mind is needed... Willie Horton

There’s great comfort in being accepted by others – it’s not too bad to be one of the herd. Even better if you can be viewed by the herd as one of its leading lights. But remember, it’s a fact of life that the biggest bulls produce the most bulls...! And, as for the herd itself, it’s made up of normal crazy people. And it’s that herd-like mentality that ensures that everyone gets greedy together and that everybody panics together, feels sorry for themselves together.

Herd-like mentality is ruining your life. In reality, there’s no comfort in hanging around with people who don’t care about anyone’s wellbeing – even their own. For, if they did, they wouldn’t be part of the herd. Sure, stepping out from the herd means being different and being seen to be different. You might think that it requires bravery our courage – but such thoughts are simply herd-like thinking. And, in no time at all, the herd won’t care – because, in reality it doesn’t care now.

But you need to care about yourself – it goes without saying, but there’s little evidence to suggest that many people do anything about it for themselves. Sooner or later the herd will self-destruct – it’s a slow and painful process that’s been gradually unravelling since the rise of the Sumerian Empire some 7,500 years ago. All you have to do (although I’m not suggesting that you do it) is to cast your eye over today’s news – it will confirm the gradual trend towards self-destruction.

So, do you want to be a destructionist? Would you not prefer to create a better life for yourself – one that will rub off on those close to you and around you? Do you think, perhaps, that the quality of your life is worth a few minutes each morning ensuring that you set out each day in a frame of mind that the herd could hardly begin to fathom? Because, as a walking, talking, potentially fully living human being, you have a choice.
