The Elephant In The Room

I’m at a cafe right now and I’m having a moment.

Bare with me.

We’re given this body but does anyone actually know what to do with it? How to be?

A lot of the time I see people looking to other people to inform them of who they are and how they should then be.

It’s almost like there is this unspoken elephant in the room that we’re not addressing.

The elephant being that in reality, we have no idea what is truly happening within this reality.

How we truly got here, what happens after we die, or what our actual true purpose here is on this earth.

I mean we have incarnated into a very systematically conditioned environment where the entire planet has been colonised and most are unaware of the sovereign indigenous connection to the land.

This ignorance then breeds further disconnection from the earth and the elements of air, fire, earth, and water.

I’m telling you because I fell into this trap in my youth but I saw it and started to ask myself the very question.

What is actually going on here? What is a universally held truth? What does it feel like?

I ask these questions not to probe, but to share, connect and open up the space for reflection.

The theatre stage has a 4th wall.

“The fourth wall is a performance convention in which an invisible, imagined wall separates actors from the audience. While the audience can see through this "wall", the convention assumes the actor's act as if they cannot.”

To draw on this, I’d like to use this terminology for metaphorical purposes to extend the idea that our reality has a 4th wall.

Where perhaps we are the actual actors, and our character is informed by our personality and our personality is informed by our conditioned environment.

If we beckon to ask the question of what is really going on, perhaps maybe then will we be ready to open to feeling and perceiving what exists beyond this wall.

The waitress just kindly took the food from my table she asked me “Is there anything else”

I casually responded as I was looking at my laptop screen “for heaven to come to earth.”

She was already on her way to the next table so she didn’t hear it.

Perfect.

I feel like we can get trapped in only experiencing the world within the construct of 3 walls.

You can feel the difference between the level of openness in people in conversation whether they have integrated the concept of the 4th wall into their lives.

The 4th wall provides an open, flowing, and unrestricted access to presence, spontaneity, and aliveness, it’s free from dogma, restriction, ideologies, or limitations of the mind which hinder coherence and love.

The 4th wall is informed by matters of the heart, intuition, intelligence through the body, connection to the earth, and the sentient beings that exist within it.

When you cross into this dimension it’s fairly easy for those that cannot comprehend its existence to feel uncomfortable by it, threatened by it, and therefore defend only living within the 3 walls.

A lot of the time we have been conditioned to fear that which does not represent the status quo, as human beings we do indeed naturally conform to that in which our tribal environment stipulates as the law and order.

But at what cost? clearly it’s visible now that there is a gross imbalance and the amount of misconduct and disconnection is causing great pain and suffering on this planet.

This is an invitation to drop out of the mind, to connect to the heart, and perhaps to accept the idea that we really have no idea what’s happening.

It’s quite a humbling place to be, it allows life to then naturally inform us of what is actually happening.

The amount in which we are able to surrender to the present moment is then correlated to the extent to which we are open to receiving the answers in which we seek.

Perhaps we need to stop trying to hold the old ways together, to let go of our outdated beliefs and habitual programming that limits our ability to taste the nectar of the sweet essence of that which is life.

To release all that no longer serves us to transform into the truest most aligned representation of who we are.

That’s what heaven on earth represents to me.

One that may inspire us to breath deeper, roll our shoulders back, look up at the sky and say:

“I know nothing, show me and guide me so that I can experience the truth of who I really am."

Inviting you into a place where everything within you that you don't need, you can let go of.
