My dear children of the world,
Please take a moment to read this. If you allow me the time, I’d like to tell you a story that is an example of how everything in this physical world has been created by the mind of someone in order for someone else’s life to be made a little more comfortable.
Once upon a time, many many many centuries ago, four of our ancestor hunter/gatherers who lived in nature or, if they were lucky, in a cave, were sat around a camp fire; chatting about the next hunting expedition. They needed to hunt in order to eat. They didn’t yet fully know all the types of fruits and plants they could eat.
On the previous hunting expedition, one of them had hurt themselves and wasn’t able to walk very far. So, the other three offer to share their bounty with him so he could sustain his family. The injured hunter was so grateful that, in return he gave them some crops he’d been growing.
This happened a few times, in the village, the men invariably suffered something and couldn’t go hunting. Every time, the bounty sharers would receive a gift in return. Until, one day, someone couldn’t give him anything or didn’t have anything to give.
Upset that he’d spent so much time and risked his life, the hunter decided that, from that day on, in exchange for a share of his bounty, people would have to give him something, otherwise he would not share. It was at that moment, that the first ever system of commerce was born.
What was initially an act of kindness to help someone and fulfill a need, soon transformed into commerce and trading.
One day, one of the clever women in the village discovered she could make bowls out of leaves. Another accidentally discovered how to make clay pots. Each item that was slowly introduced into the village soon had a price tag. Two joints of meat for four pots. A handful of herbs and spices for two leaf bowls and so on.
This is why everything has a reason for happening in life. Behind the answer to every need, want, desire, there is a clever mind who came up with the solution. After that clever mind, came more clever minds who improved the solution. Some thought they’d perfected it and, for their day, they probably did.
The point is, just as our minds create the “want,” it also creates the conditions for the solution to be found. Our want plants the seeds of “solution” in the mind of another; unless we are able to find the solution ourselves.
So, it is also the mind that creates a “solution.”
The world is as it is today because the mind has been allowed to manifest everything it has ever wanted; throughout the whole of history.
It is with our mind that we resolve global issues. It is with the mind that we create reality. Our minds plant seeds every day, which influence us, others, the present and the future. Please plant wisely dear ones.
Remember that a wise mind does not argue, it reasons. A clever mind can quickly adapt its thinking. A Highly trained mind is both wise and clever.
What makes a wise mind is its ability to use knowledge appropriately, with responsibility to itself and others. Mindful Wisdom is determining when, where, how and what type of knowledge should be imparted.
