QUIT THAT VACANT LOOK AND
YOUR ROBOT’S STIFF, AWKWARD GAIT

Well!  As I move around, go from place to place, coffee shop to restaurant to club or lecture hall, in short wherever I go, I see more and more of these vacant, idle looks and bodies frozen in one piece, unpliant, reminiscent of the robot in today’s high tech shows and action movies, mostly crashes and shuddering horror.

And I asked myself what happened?  And, you try to engage the person next to you, but oftenly a response is hard to elicit, not even a luke warm one on the threshold of patient expectation.  Many, many more are walking with the right or left arm bent at elbow, cell phone glued to the ear, quibbling, oblivious to ambiance, human beings, trees and other live entities around.

As I see it, all a product of the high tech age where machines and gadgets ceased being subservient to humans, to becoming the master determining where one goes and how, what to talk about, range of motion, response, and behavior.  Here you are:  ‘Attention Deficit Disorder’ is with us, - afraid to say - to stay.  And, I’d rather call this Disorder, ‘Attention Deficit Syndrome’.  Compared to a disorder, a syndrome generally has many, more diverse manifestations and a plethora of forces contesting and strained for affect.

What a way to live, work and play!  With a vacant void look, a frozen torso, rigid limbs and stiff neck, one’s attitude appears to be a turn away, disregarding what human’s antennas (the five senses) bring.   Our five senses bring us all the manifestations and signs of existence, with cosmic grandeur, thrill and splendor.  All in a format we can perceive and conceive.  All brought to our brain. As Is.  Unaltered.  Unjudged.  Therein, within the brain, is the rational faculty or reason perceiving what the five senses bring in.  Problem is, the rational faculty (reason) is controlled by the thought processBut, thought is never new, is never fresh, a product of what already exists in the brain in terms of previously acquired information, ethnicity, religious indoctrination, skin color, national sentiments, patriotism, flags, anthems and a tall list of adult toys, foibles, follies and articles of faith.

Distracted, you are disconnected, thus, missing the manifestations and offerings of life.  All flowing, stimulating, eye opening,  challenging, enriching, bewildering, at times frightening, at other times exhilarating and comforting.  With this menu, one’s agenda is fairly sound and robust, connecting and interconnecting, highlighting  the chance to see clearly and perceive facts and realities rather than haze; with facts turned into fiction and fiction conceived as facts.  Mostly reruns of that which have pre-existed and preoccupied the mind; redressed again and again, retouched time after time, redacted within the convenience of distraction and the apathy of brain conditioning.

To keep our vitality, to receive the joy of being and harness the energy of life (bioenergy), one must open the reception apparatus; tune it to the ever present cosmic broadcasts.  And let me tell you, whether you are religious or not, the fact is, God’s gifts (the Source) are infinite, omnipotent, omnipresent, available to all, yet, always favoring the alert and the awakened.  It favors them because they open themselves to receive.  Those who refuse to receive are denied the treasury; rejectionists, aren’t they?  You see!  It’s all fair and square.

Please, at whatever age you happen to be, regardless of ethnicity, religion, profession or social class, open your being, connect, quit that vacant look.  Let go your unweilding way of walking, your eyes; engage with life’s procession, you will be enriched and inspired, let your ears receive the sound, the bird’s message and verse, the trees’ soft rustle, a song on the threshold, and a lot or some of what wanders and lingers within your private domain.  Distracted and apathetic, you have severed the connection, disconnecting from the outside and inside world.  What a way to live!

Recover the state of full existence.  Life is intrinsic to all created things; you included.   Live life fully, partake of the offerings but don’t hoard or cling, energize yourself.  Energy breeds energy.   You will find yourself out of your self-imposed confinement.  You will walk like a ballerina or a dancer on live, exuberant stage. 
Things will open up for you and your latest talents will be tapped into liveliness and vigor.

REMEMBER, WITH EVERY BREATH OF EXISTENCE, A NEW PREPAREDNESS COMES ONTO YOU.  PRIVILEGE IS YOURS TO EXERCISE.
