Conscious Crow: Sprouting Misconceptions
We often find ourselves silently judging one another and interpreting a situation before actually getting the full story. We form negative opinions based on a quick observation or experience and a series of assumptions and conclusions seem to snowball overnight. Before we know it an entire story has sprouted. Our belief practices and conditioned responses continue to spread these seeds of unconsciousness and the truth is thrown out of proportion. We’re left with handfuls of mistaken information and hefty misrepresentations of persons or situations that could have only been prevented had the perspective been altered.
The reason for this perpetual misunderstanding is our lack of consciousness and awareness. Whatever lens we choose to examine the world is a direct reflection of how we were educated by society, culture, schools, peers and family. We don’t realize how deep-seated our belief systems truly are or where they come from until we begin questioning their roots and credibility. We were raised in an environment that holds enormous value on physical appearance and fails to notice the depth within an individual or experience. The Conscious Crow hopes to offer a new perspective in this day and age, presenting readers with a different angle in which to view ourselves, and the world around us.
With changing times come changing minds. The old way of seeing and responding to the world, the outdated beliefs, and the tireless trek upon on the “old road is rapidly aging…” as Bob Dylan so wisely phrases it. What we were once taught no longer applies. We must rely on this present moment to gain insight and continue to shed the burden of unconsciousness that we’ve been carrying for so long.
Every moment is an opportunity to grow. Now more than ever let’s reciprocate and react with love and patience towards one another, extending past these images failing to recognize our true greatness and capability. If we continue to stretch ourselves and exist within this space of consciousness we plant positive seeds for the present and future generations. Making an effort to mindfully respond with understanding, love and acceptance- slowly disintegrating all the worry, fear, doubt and suspicion- we find a new wave beginning to emerge. In this New Year let’s consciously inhibit this planet and positively contribute to the world.
“Keep your eyes wide….” for now is the time.
