We live in a world littered with countless distractions. In a single moment a person can be pulled consciously and subconsciously into the grip of several distracting things in their surroundings. Sounds, smells, images, and feeling of sensations are constantly flirting with us. Every day we are challenged by new and old forms of distractions which demand our attention as they enter into our personal spaces. It appears with all the attention we give to our distractions there’s so little time left for us to nurture by the core of the self. It is our core self which allows for the opportunities of long-lasting peaceful tranquility. That is to experience the uncluttered loving core of our-self, wherein lies all our strength of divinity. Love holds immense power and when we hold and recognize such spiritual love for our self, empowerment unfolds. This undisturbed time in self-love is needed for the nurturing care and maintenance of our whole self. A time to create a healthier intimate relationship with ourselves. To refresh ourselves in love, so we can increase and recognize our untapped strength.  

This undistracted time is the precious time we need to refocus and guide our intentions back toward the forgotten strength of our inner self; spirit itself. Honoring this undistracted loving time is made as an investment in the self, for the love of the self, and its precious value must be kept. As it is what provides for the intimacy needed to acquaint the self to the forgotten self. This time is what will provide power for withdrawing from the torrent of distracting and addictive simulations and awaken us to spirit.

Distractions volley to infiltrate and usurp space in our thinking. Ultimately to steal our power and keep us divorce from spirit. It stirs up random emotions altering our state of mind and state of consciousness. Like a virus it attaches itself to our flow of thoughts and corrupts it nature. How much do we truly understand how all this fury of distracting simulation is reshaping who we are. Without making time, taking time, to spend quietly in our own company how would we ever know? We easy lose touch with ourselves and buy into the distraction. We lose touch with our own sense of self-empowerment. It’s as though we trade our company with ourselves in for the pleasures of the external simulations distracting us in life. We become the addicts of mindless simulation constantly searching for more to fill the void of our forgotten self. Spirit itself. Consumed by the doings of distractions. To easily become even more easily distracted, and in turn forgetting about the value of the being which lies at our inner most core. We forget the experiences of the love we are.

We must as often as possible step-out of this torrent of simulation, and take time to be with our-selves, to break the addiction of the grasp of simulating distraction. Preferably quiet time where you can find, listen to, and experience the deeper aspects of the core of you. Giving yourself this time for self-empowerment is essential. Without providing any time with our own truthful self is depriving the ourselves with the greatest love we can possible receive; except of course that of the love of God. Time is one of our most important and priceless commodities. How we spend our time determines the quality of our investment into our-self. No matter who or what we are spending our time with, that time spent, is an investment we are spending on our-self. Why do I say this you may ask? It is because it is our minds which uses that time spent, that time invested in, to increase its ability to discern what we have decided has value for our own evolution.  Empowerment comes from that which holds within itself universal and empirical values. Its worth is seen in the valued of truth, and so discernment is made easy as it filters out the alluring distractions of life. This is power. This power is revealed in the personal and intimate time we spend on and invest in our-self. We have only oneself to care for. How many things do we give value to and not ever even consider taking that time to create even more value in our-self?

Great is the power found in the time we invest in ourselves. The time used to step away from all the cluttering distractions vying to take hold of a space in our mind. Personal time is needed for self-care to free the self from the distraction’s demands for attention. We all need special time to unburden our self. These time-consuming menacing distractions of life easily enshroud us in a prison of our own thinking. It is only when we take the time for being still and silent that we can abolish the illusionary cage of distracting thoughts.  Our freedom happens only through our investment in loving self-empowering thoughts.

The funny thing about all of this is we all possess the power we need, the peace we need, the love we need, waiting at our core like a hidden treasure. We have covered up our treasures which truly define us with the torrent of daily unnecessary distractions. We keep looking for what lies deep within us outside of us in the distractions of the world.   It is only when we take the time, make the time, to give our-self the loving time we need, do we have a space to heal. Will we be able to uncover what we have lost, or shall I say what we have hidden away from our self. A meditation practice is needed to bring us to the quiet and still intimate space of power wherein. This is the place where you can listen to your heart speak the truth of spirit. It is the self, spirit, which can never-ever be absent of the truth. It may take time and patience to learn to hear the sweet whispers of the spiritual heart, your intuition. But if you spend time, invest your time, it will reveal your spiritual heart to you. The experiences you will find in those moments are worth their weight in gold. Are you willing to invest in yourself so you can reveal the values laid hidden in the treasure of your spiritual hearts? I believe your worth giving that time to yourself.
