All These Tempting Things and the World Around You

Want some candy?
When I bring up temptation remember there is no connotation here of doing something “wrong” or “sinful” in anyone’s behavior. What you do here doesn’t matter in the big picture, in the “real world.”
But if you desire to be free of the fear and negativity this world dishes up every time you turn around, you have to start changing the way you think about everything. I mean EVERYTHING!
Every single thing this world offers you is a distraction from thinking about peace of mind, about your spirit, about quieting your mind and joining the shared consciousness.
Have you noticed that idols that we are supposed to be jealous of (celebrities, famous people, royalty, etc) are always kept separate from “the rest of us?” I point that out merely to remind you that they are kept separate because were they to be in our midst, we would clearly see they are no different from any “ordinary” body and what is the big deal we have to be in awe of with some celebrity anyhow?
That is just one example of the way the world sets up the whole game. Don’t play it! Spend your time here in the mind of peace instead.
