Not an escape

People love to escape. Each week millions go to the movies, get drunk, use drugs and do anything to take their minds off their problems. Some will even escape into religions, sports or even role playing games online. There is no end to the torture of the mind or the demands it makes on our perceptions. Always seeking more, wanting more and never arriving at the destination. Awareness is not an escape from you. It is the result of facing yourself and allowing your feeling awareness to guide you through the maze of beliefs, ideas and concepts about you that have nothing to do with the true you. It is getting off the merry go round of the mind and planting your feet firmly within. It is allowing life to teach you that you have much to learn and remember, but also much more to gain within.
