Purity one the one hand, Depravity on the other

realityisdharma

We pick one, and go with it……. that’s what we do… step by step….. that is what free will means…. choices.

We are born pure. We must clean up all the life messes we make after that. Our mess… our responsibility. The rogue ruminating mind takes us step by step into darkness. Our inner guide helps us to stay in our original pure light, unless we ignore it. “Depravity” is not a religious word, it is a mental health word.

If we got that straight, we could deal with the current onslaught of depravity that seems to want to call itself Right Actions.

One thought on “Purity one the one hand, Depravity on the other”

  1. Words sure can mess with our minds … “inner guide” for example, for some reason brings to my mind “spirit guide” (which are, I assume, two different things … or are they?). Anyway, the latter term gets my insides twisting … or is that my “inner guide” warning me? Or??

    Oh my. Ruminating again. Deep breath…

    Maybe it’s time, right now, to switch over to do-ING something physical 🙂
