An allegory for consideration…

In our years of travel we happen upon a room, so we enter to explore. Within this room we discover a table. Not just any table. This table happens to stand over six feet high.

Many people who wander into this room discover the table and give absolutely no thought to the tabletop and what it may hold out of sight. But, there are some who stand taller than many of the others who have discovered this room. These people can see the items that are on the tabletop and begin to study them.

As they continue their studies they become aware of the opportunities these items present. They become excited about their discovery and begin offering their new found enlightenment with others. But a curious thing happens.

They are chastised and told they are mistaken. They are insulted and called awful names. They are told they are open minded and should shut their mouths and minds.

But the tall ones persist because they are taller and can observe from a higher perspective while many others prefer exactly where they are and will fight to preserve their place of difficulty and lack. This is all they know and have been conditioned to remain within certain boundaries otherwise they will be chastised, insulted, called awful names and told to shut up because it is uncomfortable to those who desire to remain exactly where they are.

But the ones with a higher perspective persist. Their lives begin changing to encompass true caring, compassion, love, abundance and a desire to expand even more on a daily basis. The higher perspective allows an opening that includes not only the mind but also embraces the heart. They are rediscovering their feelings, the feelings they were told are useless in a World of beliefs. Consider we were born with only feelings. The conditioned beliefs came later and created filters to cover the true feelings we were born with and were told were useless. This is why we observe many who profess noble ideologies and act out behaviors of those who have unquestionably no awareness of others, preferring to satisfy only their own needs and desires. They are at war within themselves.

The high tabletop holds many reminders of an expanded consciousness and there are some who have begun discovering that if they pull up a chair, they too can begin seeing what the high tabletop holds. If you desire to observe what others are seeing, there are many who will gladly help you pull up a chair to take a look too.
