Unless, we have an insane urge to purge constantly, most of us who reside on this planet…carry deep… personal secrets… and it is these secrets which control our daily lives, our nightly patterns.. our social interactions…. for some reason…. secrets… rule our lives…
Sometimes, when i am just waking… i like to take stalk of my secrets… in my case… they are deeply personal… a bit confusing… as to how i can feel the way i do about something, yet no one… not even my closest of friends in my circles know anything about them, you see, the topic is not taboo for them to speak of … the topic is taboo for me to speak of … and so it is never spoken… known…discussed…
oh sure… people try to guess at my thoughts… as to why i may do this or that… instead of this or that…. and i become most resistant towards those who would try to pry into my inner most thoughts… desires…. truths….. i truly believe, that unless i am willing to share this with someone. which would be rare indeed…. for humanity is not so secret savvy and or trustworthy when it comes to being the guardian of our most precious possessions…. secrets, memories, and heartfelt desires…. we hold them inside of us… like hidden treasure,
as we travel day to day through our own personal journeys…. i believe our daily lives are shaped by our secrets… for instance… we may judge new people who try to come into our lives by our secrets….some people call secrets closets…. but i prefer the word secret… for we are the guardians of our inner truths… not a closet where we can put them away and reach for them when we need them… no, in fact we hold these truths inside of us… no matter where we are or how we are …. wouldn’t it be nice to put down the burden of a secret in a closet, and just walk away from it, and take it out and play with it when we are strong enough… or able enough… no…’
a secret…. is always always a responsibility… and a burden i feel lucky, because, even though… i might have secrets… i am able to write, and express creatively what i might truly be feeling personally and therefore have some type of expression of the thing that lives in suppression…inside…. nothing hides…. we only think it is hidden..
for at every opportunity… . a nosy friend… or acquaintance will try to be an amateur head shrink in our life…. they will say … let me tell you whats wrong with you ” or… your problem is” or question your behavior in general…even though one is not doing anything illegal… or illicit…. one who might find pleasure in solitude, or the company of a pet over the company of a would be lover….
when people come into my life and try to be this would be head shrink (for those who see yourselves in these words) let me give my advice of the secret seeker….) there will never be anything as rewarding as seeking and finding ones own truths…. recognizing them, and living with them and or manifesting them in this world ….using them…. what ever we need to do to know our selves… to know our own personal truths, and really get real with who and what we are in this world…so that we may live more purposefully .
so … back to the amateur head shrinking friend… or better… acquaintance…
usually , or at least in my case…. if i am transitioning from one phase of my life… to a next… i will be focused on this intently… and for me … outside influence will only cloud my detailed vision… for their is none who can see as clearly as i do the vision and path God has put in my conscious…. it is my gift from god…. and i honor it… no matter how crazy… or weird … or strange…. or stupid it may seem to an outsider…. it is not theirs to judge.
when i am focused… i am still .. and usually keep socializing to a minimum…. for most of the time… when i am out socializing… i find my self not in the present of it… but wondering…. how can i excuse my self from this situation and go somewhere and write…or create… or walk … or jog…. in solitude… with my Bux…. and so, i am no good to a situation in most cases… i am not really there….
people will ask, why are you not dating? is that your husband? simply because i am standing next to a man…heheh…. ” I dont care if you are gay” “how old are you?” “where is your family from” “would you like to have dinner?” “can i call you” “lets go do this or that”
and of course…. it starts becoming the charlie brown syndrome. where the words are just mumbles … you know…when the adults speak in the charlie brown comics … wah wah wah wah wah …hehehe…. but i am being serious….
people get drowned out very quickly… my brain automatically does it when it senses communication that is on another wave length…it is almost a different language to me… now, dont think i am not grateful for invitations, and interest in my life… its just that …. most of the time…. the banter is mind numbing dribble…. for me any now… it is rooted in mundane thoughts and realities…. that are almost outdated within their own life… for the world is changing rapidly… and as i always say and said….
we can ignore it if we choose, but it does not mean it was not going to happen.
we all love to hear our selves talk, i am not innocent of this either…but… for the most part…. conversation…especially with new acquaintances… and or those that have unsuccessfully tried to break into our inner worlds …. the topics… are superficial at best… we may speak of politics…. but the deeper issue here is that no matter how emotionally engaged and or distracted we become with a process… the outcome at this point is fixed… and we see before a circus… and we get involved believing we can affect it…
for truly have we not all chosen a side? yes…. we have…. if we are adults of a certain age…we have most definitely chosen a side… and we may or may not voice this but, we have chosen…. so in effect…. it is done….
now maybe those who would vote republican…. still have not decided on their candidates…. but this is the limit to their choice…which one will they choose…. none, being any different from the other…. they are all politicians…. they move in the same pack… the only difference is who can sway their house, and congress to get done what their agenda is the quickest… its all politics… and politics were never meant to be for the people…. only to govern the country…. with its rules and regulations… enforce this…. and make a lil doe ray meeee… now, if this is your purpose in life….. then this is a great time to be alive!!!!
I guess it is all a great time to be alive…good or bad… its all experience….. it is through grace that we learn to roll with it… ride the wave…. but lets get back to the secrets… as usual… i have taken a side street into unending topic tangent called “politics”
the point was, even this is done in secret, our family might be republican…. and when we walk into the polling place to cast our vote … behind the little curtain…. we secretly vote democrat…. or independent…. or what ever… or vice versa….. feeling a tinge of guilt… maybe a little bit of stick it to the maniosis …heheh …. what ever we feel we have purged a secret….
for it is not just animals that run in packs…. oh no…. human is a pack animal as well…. the repubs the dems…. the fems, cops…. teachers…. actors, musicians, gays….straights…… girls … boys…… rich… poor….. intellectual…. jocks….. 9-5 ers…. 99 ers…. 1 per centers….. you name it…. we run in packs… and we decide in packs…. l and when one strays from the pack…
the pack will turn and burn the rebel….. this and only this …. is why we keep our secrets…. for Romeo…. loved Juliet…. but their packs were different….. and so it is … and so history repeats itself…. over and over and over….
until the devastating truth is revealed….. we are all not so different…. in fact, we are more the same then we are different … even in the plant and animal kingdom…. we all need water…. love….air ….. sun….. food…. and comfort to live….
we all protect our life… our children… our family friends…. from harm or harshness…. we are all deserving of kindness…loyalty…happiness… truth…..
and most of all …. all of us can be hurt, scared, shamed…. devastated…. all of us… plant …animal…. human…..
and animals have been known to keep secrets…. bugs keep secrets…. trees…. rocks…. we all keep secrets….
why am i writing about secrets….. well… if i told you…. would it be a secret????
maybe i am in love…. and one will never know… or see…. or experience my deepest desire….. it does not mean … i would go out and live a life of compromise… and entangle with someone i am not in love with….
in some ways…. i am a purist…. and i see too many unhappy people in relationships they got into out of fear of loneliness….and peer pressure to do the right thing…..
this has never been my issue…. i dont care what other people think of my status as far as being single …. or married… or co habitating… or hanging out with…. this has always been my gift…. i do what i like…… its my life… and opinions…. well we all know what they say about opinions….. everyone has them…. heheheh…….
the buddah would not have been the buddah had he caved into peer pressure to be a king… husband… a father…. there is great sacrifice in following the compass of our heart…. and rest assured… it wont come without criticism and mostly from those that would be closest in our lives…. for some reason they feel they have an entitlement to tell you and shape your path…. but this is not true….
we are all born of God, and we are only Gods children …. with guardians… in our earliest part of life…. and these are only guardians…. not people to cling to our whole lives… as most people do….
you know, the fourty year old who has to get his mothers permission still…. that is so sad….. or the fifty year old or thirty year old…..at what point are we emancipated from the opinions of others?
at what point do we become fully functioning adults making some type of contribution to the greater world… not just our own inner circle…..
i was listening to a woman on the radio … speak of her father…. and that she was angry with him… and she started crying… and he was well into his 90′s … and she was in her 60′s, and she was sobbing and carrying on as if she was a teenager…and the emotional relationship between them had not matured…. i listened with compassion… but i could not help but to think…. this condition has stunted and shaped her whole life…. that she could never have become what her secrets are…because her actions are so closely guided by what her father thinks… not her own inner truth….. and i thought…. how sad…
and somehow…. i felt that she thought …everyone is like this…. and or should be like this…. we should all hold onto our parents and not grow up and become functioning… thinking …. independent adults…. i dont know… i thought …. this is really scary…. imagine if she was married…. how her husband would feel,, her children…. and we learn to keep our secrets….
some times a secret will be right in your face…. by the way we might live in solitude…. in quiet happiness…. flowing from phase to phase… or simply diggin in like a fox in a hole….. only coming up for air when we really have to…..
in this world…. thats not such a bad idea…. to keep our secrets…. hold them sacred …
in a world where we constantly feel the need to post our status… which by the way is never really the status… it is what we want you to believe about us in that moment…. but still …. do i really need you to know my status??? no i dont….
this is my status…. my privacy….. and in fact… as i am not a face book member… and the more intrusive it becomes…. the more i dont like it…..
did you know, government officers use face book twitter…and all other social media to monitor your behavior??? so it can be determined whether you are friendly to the state…. or an enemy???? yes it is getting this way… more and more ….
if you dont believe it …. just read the news…. a couple of British people were deported as soon as they got to america for tweeting…they were going to party and mess a couple things up here in america…. they were in their early 20′s and i hardly think they meant it….
but this is not the issue… the issue is…they and we are being monitored … our every word…. even these words i write right now….
so our secrets have become and even more precious commodity given the state of the facebook generation…. exposing their every thought …good bad or indifferent…. in some desperate attempt … i guess to feel important????
admired… loved….. approved of … “liked”???? for myself…. i prefer to stay sovereign…. keep my options open…. and my thoughts and personal feelings…somewhat private…. not that i have illicit thoughts…. no not at all… its just that they are my private property … in a world where nothing is private… everyone exposes every moment…. more than i want to know …its called TMI … too much mundane information….
To go inside…. feel who we are… and be comfortable with this…. carefully express and share the goodness and those things which we can share with humanity…and make a difference….. such as secrets to happiness…. to peace…… eating certain things cause certain things… things like this …things we can share…. and offer as gifts to our fellow humans….
i prefer this …to sharing how many times a day one can change their underwear…. it is probably why … i dont do social networking….
i guess…. i am not that social…heheheh…… and i prefer my privacy… not to mention…. i dont feel like giving facebook my personal content …which by the way is the reason people go there…. and they in turn own it…. monetize off of it…. and make billions out of your personal life… and you give it away freely……
no…. if i am going to expose my ass… or you expose your ass…. wouldnt you like to be the one making the billions???? since it is your life that is whats is intersting….it is your content people are enjoying…. and …face book puts ads on your personal page…peddling everything from insurance to religion…depending on the highest paying client… and they take all the money and never give you a dime…. hmmmmm
do you like that???? no??? how about the fact that you are being monitored… your every word…. heartbreak…drunken episode … like that??? even employers are now checking out your page to check your character… weird …. huh????
no, i think… once again… i am going to cut myself from the pack here…. and go my own way…. like a lone wolf…. and howl right here… on siridyal.com
the moon…she listens to me…. she is my grand mother…. my greatest friend…. our beautiful satellite … remember her…. the moon… the stars… the constellations… the very way we found ourselves here in America…. guided by the stars…. remember the trees, the water falls…. the flower the wild flower???? oh yes…. this is my pack… we hang everyday…..
my secrets??? ah yes…. my secrets…. they are with me eveyday….. perhaps you will find my secrets in the lines between in my lyrics… my blogs…. my actions…. but secrets are not meant to be everyday banter or chatter….. at least not mine….
big brother will simply have to make due with my blogs … my songs…. and anything else i might make public… for my private life is my treasure… and one without measure… its the only true property we can still own…. and protect…. without copyright infringement…
because we have chose to keep the secret…. now is the time for for me to keep my secrets… perhaps a little bit down the road…. i may expose them…. but for now…. i will keep them… protect them…. and build my world and unveil it…when it is fully formed….
what is your secret.??? perhaps your secret is reading this blog….. it doesnt matter…. i will never tell … nor do i even know if you do.. unless you make a comments or register with my blog…..
i love my secret readers… i love you all….. keep your secrets … protect your truth… your purpose…. pursue it with every breath and ounce of life you have in your physical body….
build your world from the inside out…. not the outside in….. manifest…. and bear fruit….
its why you are here…
dont be afraid of who you are… and mostly dont be afraid to fail… for their is no success without failure… know this…. understand this….
and build your life…. keeping in mind… the greater world we live in today…and all action will create a reaction in this world…. be conscious of your consumption… what u put into ur self…. and what you put out….
lets try not to be habitual ritual beings… meaning do everything our parents did or do…. this is not the world they grew up in…and the rules are significantly different now….
have 2 or 3 kids…. is not a good idea anymore…. not unless were talking about eugenics… and most are not.
build your life, and your kingdom before your start a family….. it is expensive to have children… remember this, they need all your love and attention… so if you have them… prepare to sacrifice your own personal dreams…. until they are grown….
love yourself…. just love yourself….bless yourself…. do nice things for others…. strangers… and feel how good it feels to do this….
the word is changed… and still in the months to come… even more… and their will be more chaos… and huge change to our planet… be still and watch the destruction with quiet detachment…. know…that a new and better day is coming…
and that we will all be happy and live purposefully once again…. just a few more huge bumps in the road to ride….
until then …. just be there… dont judge…. or point a finger…. remember… we are all in this together…
and in your solitude…. remember your secrets….. they are your legacy… your treasure of true humanity
xoxo
