| No matter what emotions are current, they originated, not at this moment, but possibly in moments not of this life — not of this persona — not even this situation. When your awareness does not encompass this entire picture, you’ll attribute current feelings onto whatever’s available…blame it on the “lowest hanging fruit,” it’s often said. All emotions come from a combination of inputs; some are sensory; some are memory; some are associative or dissociative, and some are just made up of this “low-hanging fruit.” Wild creatures smell through the winds of the moment; hear through the sounds within the sounds at the moment, and their responses are governed by instincts programmed to translate these signals without disruption from any accompanying “noise.” They’ve evolved through this process of selection to have mastered these skills in their most accurate form. Humans, on the other hand, aren’t limited to just instincts but rely on memories; associative stories; countless sources that mix the senses of a moment with the stored senses from other moments; then mix these translations with input from others…all managed by the attention, or exhaustion; inspiration, or desperation, and focus, or confusion that’s present with the experience. It’s like having a map-maker, who’s also a great story-teller, and the roles are constantly mixed and matched to an audience. All measures in the maps become reactions to the stories — accuracy not an issue, but entertainment is core. This is the human dilemma of feelings…stories of the past and present fail to map leading anywhere…they’re reactions to actions that may, or may not have occurred, maybe of memory, or anticipation, or even manipulation…not a map to anywhere…just the whims of a clever “thief.” These are today’s unnatural times, and nature is about to make corrections…climate change is “crowd” control. Our prayer with the grace of our Master “OSHO” is that as you recognize the winds of “insanity” with the accuracy at your core, you experience the insane, then respond and interact from the sanity of this accuracy, and be a guide for being found in a world that’s being lost.
