I do not set as many personal boundaries as other people and any boundaries that I do set are generally for other people rather than for myself. This can sometimes be seen as a weakness… But this may very well be the case of the fool being the Wise one in the end…
Many people – it seems – need perimeters and rules, indeed boundaries, to live in… Why then is it at all different for me?
The answer is that I have cultivated and sustain such an inner depth of feeling and awareness of who I am that just this alone gives me the real feelings of strength and security that I need. I don’t need boundaries to help me feel secure.
I see that as humans, as a whole, we have somehow slipped into the belief that boundaries are necessary for order and self-preservation. The concept of boundaries itself helps people to feel individual, unique and important on a basic level, free even to express our personalities and all that we believe ourselves to be…
Boundaries, limits and limitations are taught from generation to generation rather than felt. Animals also have hunting grounds and boundaries. We can easily continue with this animalistic part of our nature, but do we really need to still be applying it in modern times?
Children – we are assured – need to learn about boundaries. This truth does appear to work so far, but how far? Boundaries without a doubt do work, especially for the materialistic matters and the egocentric, but why stop there?
I asked a few people around me for their opinions on boundaries.
A fourteen-year-old young man said that boundaries separate friends and friendships and cause jealousy and fights to change and control. A twelve-year-old girl said that boundaries are unfair for everyone. “They stop everyone from doing what they want to do”. One adult said that “beyond boundaries lies the heart of human kind”.
Is having children more than wanting something to love and control? Of course it can be. Why continue accepting what has always been? We could instead move on to a reality without boundaries, without being afraid of and assuming that everything will collapse…
Envisage the positive instead of the negative. Create and allow yourself to participate in a far more open, trusting, relaxed and joyful life experience. When you accept that you do not need boundaries, you realize and accept also that you do already have vast amounts of space and that you can take, use or even just luxuriate in it all that you need… Experience without boundaries is endless and there for us all.
I say that when we stand still and bathed in the light of our own uniqueness, others will watch in awe, lift up their heads and join us in beginning their own journey forwards, home, to the heart of the self and to the essence of being…
I would love to hear from others who would like to create and live in a world without boundaries and who know that they are ready to move forward and experience and create a great, new and different world…
