Old patterns die hard...

Worried...is good and bad but when screened by old habits its lethal ................... a peculiar happening though worth mentioning something I would have never realized until it happened. So what was this "worry" all about or was it real or was it planted or do you really feel it was just another mental trip... I let you be the judge of this recent experience that I had...with my inner circle.

I received a call from a near and dear one on my whereabouts and I was pretty happy to respond to all of the queries. The talks did not end there but I was off late reporting how I have been how are things and what's going on. So to say I was in complete touch with the person on the other end who was concerned...happy to be in that spot at times....."no harm" .

Next what happened was a little weird when the other human partner of this caller was actually freaking out about my safety. Freaking out is ok until you spread the feeling to others like wildfire and the whole forest is on fire. I wasn't aware of anything like that going on back there quite oblivious to the whole downpour which was about to happen. When I said wildfire I meant its a complete spiral down from worried..to getting panic leading to fear and all rubbish thoughts clouding your judgement.

I don't intervene unless invited so here I am invited to sort.... the worried ask of the person , a volley of questions were coming at me. I was happy to abide but what piqued me was the fact that I telling the person am safe does nothing but aggravate the situation as if the other sources were speaking the truth and I for once am unknown to my own safety. I was a witness for the first time to how the mental diarrhea can create havoc in you and then leave you so out of control that you are not ready to let it go and see the reality with your own eyes... its scary for once.

I sensed the loop was on of asking questions about my whereabouts, safety , etc. but as I step in to explain it was nothing to be worried about I startle the person. They just not ready to leave the fact that they have been informed by reliable sources that I am in not a good situation on the contrary they are quite absent...they don't realize they are talking to me live. I had to coach them to let them hear for once what is going on here now rather than what they are harping on from their memory.

The last bit just before the conversation closed I heard them blurt out "so then you are fine" as if they just can't let it go .... that's how difficult it is to break those invincible patterns which we have wrapped ourselves in and we don't even realize we have stopped living in the moment which comes with expectations...hopes...fears...and all of it ....a certain newness nothing from the old catches up with you.

For a long time that day I debated with myself this can become dangerous since we really don't realize we living with the "untruth" and we cannot accept the "truth". A part of me can count this incident as somebody is worried but are u really listening to the present moments or have you shut yourself down and given away to the mental nonsense ....
