Fool’s Paradise

Lately it seems there is so much suffering, depression and devastating events in the lives of many. This got me to thinking about how to help and perhaps help solve some of the issues with those close to me. I can be so nosey and quite the little butt-insky! That doesn’t stop me from wanting desperately to help my dear ones out of whatever misery they suffer.

The fool is a card of complete innocence and non-knowledge in any particular issue and therefore, can be the best source for new and exciting ideas to conquer major hurdles. The fool has no external influences, ulterior motives or ‘in-the-box thinking.’ I’m sure we all know someone we consider a fool in this regard. Not necessarily a complete moron or idiot, although this type of person is ripe with alternative thinking, that can be quite astoundingly profound, if you just listen.

Not everything in life will make complete sense or even relate to ‘you’ at any given time…or so it may seem.

Listening to a fool, moron or idiot might seem like a bad idea, but it’s the listening part that is key. You see, I have a tendency to not listen as much as I should. Or, listen to the wrong people with the same, conventional and typical ideas that come from living life in a box. It’s time for breaking out of the box and really listening to ideas that may at first seem uncomfortable, but can yield the greatest, most fantastic results.

Never underestimate the golden (and simple) ideas that come from the fool. And, know that there is a fool out there with the best idea or advice you need right now.  Listen with an open mind and heart and you’ll ‘get it.’

Remember, not everything that happens in your own realm of existence, is for your benefit or for your sorrow. Sometimes the things we go through in life are for the benefit and learning of someone else. When you question “why” don’t just question “why me.” you should be including in your questioning, “who else is involved and why.”

This little tidbit should help clear up a few nagging issues for you, for the time being.

You are innocent

Gwintuition 10/7/09:

The two girls playing in the picture are so carefree and innocent. They have no care in the world other than doing what little girls do on a bright and sunny day. You have done your best  and that’s all that matters. You don’t owe any apology for doing your best. You don’t owe guilt or shame or remorse. Everything that comes from you is from your heart with true effort and pure intention. When you can become that innocent today, you will know what I mean. Everything you do is best, is golden and very valuable.  When you let go of control yesterday, if you did as you were meant to do, this innocence will come easy. If not, just remember that you can always get back to it, anytime. All you have to do is completely get rid of the judgments of others and especially the judgments of yourself, and you will return to innocence. You’ll know you’ve made progress when your inner voice speaks to you again. Actually, what I mean to say is, you will be able to hear your inner voice with amazing clarity, again. You will remember what it sounds like, feels like and you will know exactly what to do.
