There’s a godless soundtrack repeating in your consciousness that generates your reality. It’s scratched and has been for years. And it skips. You know the self-defeating lyrics like you know your social security number. Untruths you take for absolutes. Indistinguishable from the real you.
Track 3 is about you being a slacker and wasting too much time. You should do more, better, faster, smarter – da da dee da da dum. Track 5, “The Safety of Self-Sabotage,” is about hypervigilance and maintaining eternal distrust. Track 6, an oldie but goodie, is about starting tomorrow – ain’t no need to hurry, you ain’t got nothin’ but time. Comically, track 7 is about how it’s too late, and your opportunities exist only in the graveyard of your potential. And that last track is about not trying unless you, it, they, and us are perfect.
If you’re among the lucky, the knee those old songs put on the neck of your life force becomes sufficient to warrant pressing stop. Once you recognize self-sabotaging lies for lies, the quality of your life will depend on your ability to delete them from the library of your thought options so completely that listening to defeatism is impossible.
One of the distinctive characteristics of being human is that you can learn new songs. You can ask the Universal DJ for the most progressive, life-giving, prophetic stuff there is. The play button is on your heart. In response to your choice, an all-powerful force of limitless influence pumps in redemption songs of freedom, ease, possibility, resurrection, and love.
The lyrics dictated from on high play through the speakers of your soul, not your mind. The new music isn’t easy to memorize. It requires you to listen more often and pay more disciplined attention. You may only be able to hear the new lyrics in the silence. Listen every morning, night, day, week, year, and decade. Listening exclusively to that which lifts you up will cure your spiritual consequences and rebirth you into pure, realized potential.
