We inherit part of our existing notions from our genetically based DNA, another part from our preferred psychological make-up and then, a lot of it comes through necessary environmentally based influence.  That’s sort of how an astrological natal chart reflects supposed reality. You have your signs, (DNA), symbols, (psycho-analytic structure) and, then, houses (map of various situations) needful in laying the groundwork for living.  Some days you can understand a minute part of what takes place; other days you don’t have a solitary clue. Language, however, makes it so that we pretend we do. Since we are born knowing how to use language, we are programmed to recognize patterns and generate grammar. Although we don’t exercise the least bit of control over our humanly executed communication device, it is the core of who and what we are.  In other words, although the basic framework of meaning {what generates/motivates us} is built into our minds at birth, we ‘Pretty Much’ make the rest of it up (our inner dispersed, intricately dependent human behavior) as we go!

IF these suppositions are anywhere near the truth then, can you, in all probability discern the happy days as they flood through the cracks in the door of your particular constructed reality from those which you interpret as sad? Ambiguity seems to be the indispensible attachment to language. We ascribe meaning according to some unknown factor which, in essence, constitutes our individual existence. But, how close is the interpretation to the real thing? If you were able to accurately, unemotionally and objectively discern the truth, as the ancient scriptures suggest, “Ye shall know the truth and it shall set you free”, you would no longer be obsessed with being happy. You would instantaneously realize with complete clarity that what had worried, concerned, and snared you, up until this point, had vanished.  The overwhelming, complicated and confusing world, in which you inhabited, would suddenly appear new and bright.

Of course, your new found enlightenment would only last as long and until you duplicated, with absolute accuracy in familiarity, the same old memorized patterns of thinking, relating and communicating, once again. It’s a merry-go-round which never seems to end.  Can’t you at least, see far enough ahead to appreciate the irony of ambiguity associated?  When something bothers you; deal with it. Don’t postpone, denigrate, deny or gloss over the significance.  At that precise moment, not later, the brilliance of the matter communicates its fundamental essence.  Why? Because you have not had enough time to ‘mull it over’, apply your particular interpretation and decide the intricate layers of personal identification attached. The exact moment is the best moment to respond. Not when you think is the best time for the matter to be dispersed. Deal with it; then, let it go, completely. Not a trace to be left to dispense upon the other.

 I celebrate with you in your new found freedom of discerning the influential power of language.  I would rejoice, even more, IF it could last. The problem ensues from your not taking the contentment from the real source: the ability to detach from yourself, your ideas, your desires, and your personal identities attached to the situations which arise.  No. That does not mean that if you disassociated yourself from the personal involvement, you would somehow become less human.  I am not saying that, at all. I’m saying, feel and experience everything; but, after and while you are living your chosen reality, let the events go! Don’t hold onto the ‘supposed’ wrongs and injustices inflicted. In other words, let the only true guaranteed reality known to man (death) be thy measuring stick.

Death comes unannounced and does not ask you whether you are ready or not. He will not barter, bargain or backlist. He takes who he will and leaves the others, unexplained and unmoved.  Judicious Communication is totally ineffective when he comes a-calling.  When something is over, it’s done, finished, ended. You are standing at that crucial place. You need to move on past your present grievances. “Let the dead bury the dead: follow the living”.  (Paraphrased) Realize, once and for all, the arrangement/relationship offered all it could.  No more can come from the pile of rubbish.  Stop tormenting yourself saying it could/should have been more.  Nope. That’s not the way this story was written.  You got all you were going to get; no more to come, except grief and heartache.  If Death has become your constant ally, he will remind you of the deliberately demonstrated determinedly indifferent outcome.
