Distraction
I already love the energy and
duality around this word! I had another word in mind but
eventually decided it was a distraction (tee hee). The
inability to attract might be my first pass at a definition.
In a world full of distractions, it is becoming a rare
experience to find lasting and meaningful eye contact with
another human.
Distraction can mean: 1. the act of
distracting; 2.the state of being distracted; 3. mental
distress or derangement; 4. that which distracts, divides
the attention, or prevents concentration; 5. that which
amuses, entertains, or diverts; 6. division or disorder
caused by dissension, tumult. Distraction is also a British
game show where the contestants answer questions while being
distracted in bizarre, painful and humiliating ways (lol).
So distractions can painfully cause
mental distress, divide our attention or be very
entertaining and bizarre. It sounds like one of the key
features in the human experience! I have come to believe
with my thinking around this word that distractions can be
both serving and a waste of time. To me, it comes down to
discernment around the distraction as a way to ensure the
proper response.
During times of extreme grief, I
think it would help the soul to engage in a distraction like
laughter or entertainment. But I also think sometimes we are
distracted in order to find our resolve or measure the depth
of our passion. Let's distract an angel for a moment of
Divine clarity around distractions:
The duality of life is clearly
displayed in this energy that gives meaning to what one
might consider a distraction. Procrastination tendencies,
indecisiveness, measuring life around perfectionism,
illusions and blocks can all be enhanced by distractions.
Seeing the truth, protection from harm, raised awareness
and conscious connections can result from a single
distraction. So you can quickly form ideas around serving
aspects of distractions.
If you are experiencing difficulty in focus and clarity
due to what you consider to be distractions, this could be
your message that speaks to the balance in your life and
situation. Is a distraction taking you away from your
Divine Life Purpose? Are you being led down the path of
ego due to distractions? Are you forming illusions that
distance you from truth? Sometimes you have to wander in
the darkness to find your light, and for that reason life
offers many distractions as opportunities to raise
awareness through knowledge gained in the life experience.
Distractions are a way of 'checking in' with your truth,
trust, presence, compassion, consciousness and love in
order to affirm what you already know or give you
epiphanies and enlightenment. Action steps beyond that
will determine the level of learning needed for you to
stand in your own light and find presence in the moment.
As you limit distractions in a way that allows you to
focus on the deepest meaning of your life, you are
standing in the pillar of light that does not cast a
shadow.
Bring joy, ease suffering
and create beauty, then dance like you mean it!
Blessings, Russell
