Black Friday...
***Great Sigh***
I can't help thinking our society is devolving as the years go on.
Viewing footage of people on news reports fighting each other, getting trampled and some being seriously injured to get a 'bargain' is more distressing to me than I can say.
What do we feel in ourselves and more importantly what do we feel about ourselves that makes us believe that buying a new television at a reduced price is going to make us better?
Year after year supermarket chains exploit our feelings of inadequacy, of failure, of hopelessness through marketing ploys and made up days such as Black Friday to gain a profit from people's misery.
There is a void inside when we use such insignificant 'things' to define ourselves. Who are you when everything is taken away, your belongings, your job, your friends and family, what are you?
You're beautiful, we all are and we shouldn't allow corporations to dictate how we define ourselves. The modern world believes too much in individuality, a notion which acts to separate us from each other. This illusion of separateness causes too much individualistic thought, which removes the 'togetherness' from our lives. When we feel best is when we are connected to one another, not when we isolate ourselves for the purpose of a relationship with an inanimate object such as a television.
If you feel like something is missing, that there is a void or a yearning inside of you, the momentary happiness that shopping brings will not help. It will fade and again you will feel the emptiness you experienced before. So lets look at ourselves and look at each other and reflect on what is really important to us this holiday season. Lets look within ourselves and try to resolve some of these negative feelings by focusing on what is really important in life.

Re-defined
I've always believed there is so much more than what we can see. I have felt the presence of energies around me from a young age positive, and at times negative, however these experiences and intuition have always made me feel a connection with something spiritual.
To me the practice of spirituality in any form allows us to recognise our own impermanence and irrelevance, which is healthy in consideration of our place in the world, where we fit. Through introspective thought and the exploration of our consciousness we can recognise divine beauty in our selves and those around us, providing us with a fulfilment that cannot be replicated by anything else.

What Happened...
Reading, A Tale of Two Cities when I travel is one of my favourite things to do.
