Day 115: All the King's Horses



This post is a continuation from:

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to, when and as I am at a point of change wherein a decision is required to be made, instead of slowing myself down to consider all potential play-outs, ensuring that I am placing myself in a position that is best for everyone involved, thus ensuring that I am caring for myself and all those involved as myself – instead rush through the decision making process so as to get to the final experience as an energetic feeling of gratification and apparent ‘results’ from my decision – thus refusing to face the fact that with each haphazard decision made, I was never actually satisfied in any way, which was precisely why I would then rush to the next point, the next decision, as a way in which I believed I could somehow redeem myself from the previous fuck-up, manipulating myself into believing: this time it will work out. This is it. Yeah, this feels like the way to go. It has never felt more right than it does now. I’ve got it this time. THIS is the real deal. It’s all coming together, how brilliant, and so on – thus clearly showing how not a single decision I have ever made was a decision made in self-honest clarity, as the self-directive principle, but was only ever a decision decided through FEAR as self-manipulation where energetic reactions as emotions and feelings were the directive principle, within which I would try/attempt to buffer myself from the REAL experience of myself which was that of absolute fear and petrification, wherein I feared that if I slowed down for even a moment I might just lose the apparent control that I had; the apparent control I had to make it seem as though I had everything figured out, that I had all the pieces together, while internally I was a complete anxious mess, falling to pieces, not at all trusting myself because I had no clue nor had I ever even considered getting to really know myself, but only considered how best I could hide from myself, escape from myself, and thus made decisions that would keep this self-dishonesty intact, because if I would have done otherwise, I would have had to face the facts of what I was accepting and allowing, and I just couldn’t bear that, so I kept moving, kept planning and daydreaming for the day when everything would work out, when enlightenment would finally come and knock on my door to take the pain away and piece the pieces of myself back together again so that I could finally be at peace with myself…but the day never came, the kings horses and the kings men couldn’t put the pieces back together again, and thus the fear only grew, and grew, and grew and I forgive myself that I kept running, rushing, ripping and roaring through each breath like a rapid animal frothing at the mouth - possessed by fear, dis-eased internally, yet externally I would smile and nod, speak of love and the divine, sit cross-legged in meditation for long hours, prostrate to the Buddha, sing praises to Jesus – projecting stability and clarity, while inside I was screaming: PLEASE SAVE ME BUDDHA, SAVE ME JESUS, SOMEONE, ANYONE SAVE ME FROM THIS HELL! I CANNOT TAKE IT ANYMORE! I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME!

I forgive myself that I did not accept and allow myself to see the equal and one correlation between the mess existent within myself and the mess existent within this world.

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to see/realize/understand that each decision that I have made in my life was made within the attempt to cover up the previous decision, as the failure that I had experience within/as myself – and thus would rush into the next decision as fast as humanly possible just so I would never have to face the disappointment and sorrow for not ‘getting it right’ – which I realize was indeed why each new decision would accumulate on itself from the previous decisions wherein the next decision I would have to make even more elaborate and seemingly profound, as if this new decision would be THE decision; THE decision that would change everything forevermore – thus refusing to face the fact that not a single decision, no matter how profound and potentially enlightened, ever changed anything in a way that made an actual impact on myself or this world, but only ever reinforced the same preprogramming, conditioning, brainwashing and manipulation techniques that I had been employing since I first learned how to manipulate with/through my parents when I was a child.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to refuse to see how, the way in which I have made decisions within/throughout my life and living were essentially based on the characteristics of a drug addict and/or pathological liar – wherein each new decision was like another dose of a drug, or another convoluted lie to cover up the previous intricate lie, wherein the next dose/lie had to be even BIGGER, even more ELABORATE, even more of a RUSH so as to really get myself worked up and thus properly convinced that this was IT, that this was going to be THE ONE decision that would figure everything out, that this one was going to get me the HIGHEST of them all - that this would provide me with that absolute RUSH of BEING ALIVE and having everything fall into place – thus not seeing/realizing/understanding that, although things were certainly ‘falling into place’ the ‘place’ within which things were ‘falling’ was the pit of FEAR, as I rushed head-first into my own self-destruction, again – completely forgetting that I had been here before; that this was where I always ENDED up, because this is where ALL self-dishonest decisions eventually lead: self-annihilation.
