This is not Normal but it is Practical

This is not Normal but it is Practical

If you ask me what is normal I will say, “I do not know”.  I do not have an answer for normal. Survival does not allow for one connected pattern of normality to exist. Each one of us tries to survive our situations and circumstances the best way we can. Some of us pray, meditate, exercise, scream, go within and some of us are waiting for someone to come along and give us that special word or method that will create a balance in our life that ties us into the normal way of living. The truth is we only have opinions, references and ideas from other people who were searching for the same thing. Is it normal to be in a relationship with one person for the rest of our lives? Is it? Are we setting ourselves up for failure, heartache and moral destruction by forcing something that is against our nature? Is it fair to force all people to live the life that some people feel is normal? How much of what you want and what you need is relevant to a normal life. If I describe my normal and you describe your normal, will they match?

What happens when you wake up in the morning and all you want to do is cry or scream or go out and curse the  world for being in existence. Is that normal? On the other hand, is it normal to wake up and feel that way but hold it in, put on a smile and pretend to each person you meet that life is beautiful and all is well. While you walk around like a ticking time bomb waiting to explode but knowing, you cannot.  Thereby making your heart rate faster, your blood pressure go up and you ability to concentrate blown to hell. Is it normal to wake up full of love and peace and joy delusional about the world around you. Ready to share your love with all you meet without charging them a fee?  Is that normal in system that requires profit and wealth as a mandate for success. Should you give such valuable prizes away? Alternatively, should you charge people for encouraging them and sharing good news?

Why do some people tell you constantly it is wrong to cry? If something hurts you, why should you hold back your tears?  When you look into the mirror and see the house your soul is embodied in keeping you earthbound, what is wrong with admitting you do not like what you see? What is wrong with saying that you hate how your life has turned out? What is wrong with admitting you are not a part of this so-called norm? What is wrong with admitting that in order to change your circumstance the will of an Unseen Creator will not help you but your will to live will?  Why can’t you admit that you are not like others and neither do you want to be?  What is wrong with saying you are pissed off at corrupt system that dictates your value? What is wrong with admitting that you would like this unseen God to show up every now and then and speak to you in a language you can understand? What is wrong with wanting this energy to show you that It is keeping its promise to you?  What is wrong with admitting you feel you believe in something that keeps you holding on for help, but shows ups when It wants to, or does not show up at all? Most of us do not have a clue as to what normal really is we follow others who because of their wealth, their self-appointed righteousness and social hierarchy have created rules to keep even our most intimate behaviors controlled by their need for power.

For every rule, commandment or law that is created for us to follow the creators of them have manipulated loops holes that give them the right not to adhere to any of them.  How many of us are really considered normal? What if you believe that marriage is just a contract between two parties to established ownership of human consciousness. Yes, consciousness, because once in this institute both parties are considered to be one.  This is not possible nor is it probable, unless both parties agree to allow one another to be exactly who they were from the moment they met. We all know that is not true, you must change and you will change or you will not in most cases stay married.
 
Why must human attraction be defined as normal as long as opposites are involved. Is it not true that those who are similar tend to cooperate better and stay together longer?  Why does a full  figured person feel they are not as in control as one who is full of muscles and toned?  Why can a person who feels like shit just say I feel like shit, without being looked upon as a killjoy?  What makes one race of people so empowered that they openly mistreat others, while still claiming to be God’s advocates for righteousness?  Is it normal to believe that because something more than a man saw something in you, your life was spared?  Is it normal to believe that one-day heaven will open up and all your worries will be gone? Is it normal to know that when you leave this experience another one is waiting for you? Is the belief in blessings and cursing normal?  Could it be possible that the trials of human existence are no more advanced than the trials of animals in the wild? If you look at the two, can you really find a difference?

Could this be one of those mornings when you wake up to, a reality you never would have created for yourself, but you must live it regardless. It is one of those mornings when writing through tear stained eyes is the only way you maintain your sanity. It is one of those days that if you did not have to face it you would not face it. It is one of those moments in the life of human searching for the reality of their existence in a place where illusion is all that matters.  It is one of those mornings that make you say if God or Great Spirit or the manifestation the Om is at work you need it to work now for you. Not at some later date, or time based on supernatural time warps in the cosmos of reality. You need help now and you want it now. You want that fairy tale to happen, the one that people have preached to you about.  The walk on the water miracle that you believe, the raise the dead miracle that you have been told about, the ever-present creation miracle of the Om.  However, is this normal to hope for? If it is not then what about anything in life is really normal?

If it is not normal to question these rules, how normal is it for us not to adhere to them.  It is possible that normality is as relative as life itself?  Can a person without degrees and accolades from the world of academia have anything relative to add to human consciousness?  If we watch the normal behavior of animals is human behavior truly normal? If you believe in a manifested intelligence that created us all, is that normal? If you believe the Universe just threw up one day, is that normal? If you do not believe in anything is that normal? Is it right to ponder on what is normal, l a normal thought pattern?
My truth is this; I do not believe there is a true definition for normal. Simply because I self reflect all the time.
