Gone In A Second And Of Being Oblivious
Gone In A Second And Of Being Oblivious It can be said and in all likelihood it has been proclaimed quite regularly: Time Flies. Here it is the second day of November and many seem to hardly recall where the months have gone. And we can almost forget about the years. Each one seems to pass like a speed racer. Whooosh. Gone just like that. There goes another one.
This brings me to moments of being oblivious. It's rather odd that obvious and oblivious are rather closely related in spelling. But so far apart. Some things seem to be easily overlooked. They are often seen but not truly seen. Missed opportunities. Indications of change that go unnoticed. I digress.
I was thinking of "oblivious" for no reason and yet for an important one. Who am I to say what is oblivious? Who are any of us? This led me down a rabbit hole of sorts in search of an answer. My typical search often finds looking through the words of others. Quotes can inspiring. Thoughtful and thought-provoking. I passed by many such words. Smart words...maybe the answer was actually there but because of my own obliviousness, it may have been overlooked.
I stopped. For a second. Yes. Maybe a bit longer because the moment can be gone in a second or it may last a lot longer. So I pondered. Here's the quote. For this moment. It fit. At least right now:
Fortunately,
some are born with spiritual immune systems
that sooner or later give rejection to the illusory worldview
grafted upon them from birth through social conditioning.
They begin sensing that something is amiss, and start looking for answers.
Inner knowledge and anomalous outer experiences show them a side of reality
others are oblivious to, and so begins the journey of awakening.
Each step of the journey is made by following the heart instead of the crowd,
and by choosing knowledge over veils of ignorance.
It's not just about being oblivious or about recognizing the importance of the moment. It's about our own discovery. The how and rhe when that happens. It has the power to change. To help us transform.
