MONOLOGUING
Sometimes, when things are not going as planned, you need to have a serious talk with yourself. I remember when I was growing up in New York City, if I saw a person speaking out loud to themselves, I would think that they are not all there. Or that they are emotionally disturbed. In fact, as a police officer, which was one of my first real occupations, those aforementioned, were usually taken unwillingly to Bellevue Hospital, which had and still has one of the best psychiatric wards in the country. Since those early days, I have learned that sometimes I need to have an honest conversation with myself to put me on tract. To re-boot me, so to say. I must confess, that I have had many out loud conversations with myself.
These conversations usually occur when I am in bed, before I go to sleep or in my vehicle. And, I do drive a lot in my current position as a self employed attorney with a practice concentrated in federal criminal and immigration law. However, because of technology and Bluetooth, it is normal to see other drivers and people in general, on the street talking to themselves. It does not look as odd. Which, I am very grateful for. The bottom line is that monologuing is very healthy and I believe beneficial. This is an important activity for me to have a discussion with god or my real self; the god in me. Since, I truly believe that we were all created in god's image, we are all part of god. We all have god in us. Every single one of us. There are no exceptions! It does not matter, who you are or where you came from or what have you done lately. It does not matter whether you just robbed the convenient store or have chosen to be a priest. None of that matters. We are all perfect beings created in god's image. Now, we all have free will to do whatever we please. So with this free will, some, have made bad decisions.
Just because you have not lived a life of making good decisions does not mean that you are a bad person. We are all loving, perfect individuals that sometimes, make bad decisions. I believe that individuals that make bad decisions, are temporarily disconnected from their god source. A great way to reconnect, is to have a conversations with god. There is absolutely nothing irregular about that. That is a healthy activity. Now, if god speaks back to you, that can be an issue. I am just being humorous. However, although god may not speak to you verbally, he will speak to you in manifestations. Mathew 7:7-8, states, "For every one that asketh receiveth; and that he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." The best way to change your ways for the better or to ask for whatever it is that you want, is to ask god directly. Talk to yourself or the god in you as if you were having a conversation with your mom or dad. Your parents only want what's best for you so why wouldn't god, who is all love, not want the same? I leave you with the following prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi;
"Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And, where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand. To be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive. And, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned. And, it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen."
Just a thought.
