Gate Keepers


It never amazes me the gems of Wisdom that always surround us and surprise you by making an unexpected appearance.  So it is with a recent nugget of Wisdom, a thought that came out of nowhere having to do with "boundaries."   What are they?  Boundaries can be fixed or non fixed (imaginative).  They rule our morals, thoughts, our actions (deeds).

Boundaries can be fixed like goal posts that delineate a football field or they can be expansive and imaginative like your thoughts in which you can imagine you can do just about anything.

Boundaries are part of the cosmos, the universal structure that contains everything that was, everything that is and everything that is to come.  Boundaries are here to protect and guide us so we don't cross over a line into dangerous, uncharted territory, leaving ourselves vulnerable to unseen and unknown and evil external stimuli.    

What has been happening to mankind since the Beginning is that we haven't learned to respect these boundaries but foolishly keep ignoring them and pushing them further away from us, acting like gods with unlimited power.  Woe to us that we still continue to think this way.  We continue to push forward even as that still, small voice urges us not to.

That still small is a Gate Keeper and is there to warn us before we go too far.

We think we can get away with something we clearly weren't meant to get away with but go ahead and do it anyway.   Then we find ourselves in a lot of trouble in which we are able (or not) to find our way out of.

Examples of crossing boundaries:

We blurt out something hurtful, in anger to a close friend and then regret having opened our mouth.

We cheat on a test in school and then find out we've been caught and kicked out of school.

We take that one last drink, do one more inhale or injection and it winds up costing us our life.

Playing with a loaded weapon, not believing that it can go off but we go ahead and do it anyway.  

Pushing the boundaries too far can sometimes cost you your life. 

Boundaries...just something for you to think about as you go about your day.

Wisdom is a precious commodity and in rare supply.  When it shows up it's because it was meant to be shared with those you love,
