“Is Reality Broken? Are you trying to fix it? “ Tao Now, Josh Barran
There really are only two ways to see reality, either it is broken or it is working perfectly.
How can you tell if it is broken or working perfectly? Who gets to decide? Do we each have our own sets of reality? Is your perception and my perception separated and equally right?
When you are sitting in reality, how can you tell if it is broken, what are the signs that something needs to be fixed and then how do you fix it?
I just love the phrase, “is reality broken?”
If you asked me a few years back, I would have given you a million ways that it was, and a busload of people who needed fixing.
Now I see that all is perfect.
Nothing has changed, the landscape, people and actions are all still the same, but I now see things differently.
In nature if something is not right, it is called a freak of nature, it is going against the natural flow or natural expression. A meowing dog is a freak.
Why is it that we don’t do the same with people, that we set aside nature’s rules?
We almost have freakish expectations of people when we want them to act/do/be something other than themselves.
If we can accept them AS they are, we are not breaking reality.
I used to see others with problems for they were not doing as I expected, little did I know I was the freak.
I was in reality expecting it to be different than it was; I was always trying to fix something that wasn’t broken.
The fruitlessness of it all, fixing non-broken things, going into people’s lives unsolicited telling them to do things differently, changing that which doesn’t want to change, creating a broken reality, giving myself a job to break reality!
A reality breaker that was the job I retired from.
As a retired reality breaker, I can now relax and enjoy the ride!
