Teacher Uteah: “With the [[busyness]] of life on [[your world]], there tends to be little [[time]] to stop and consider the most important things in life come from authentic [[relationships]] that go beyond superficial social life. Deep [[meaning]] relationships where people can be [[vulnerable]] in [[expression]] of their life journey — the [[difficulties]], the [[challenges]], the [[fears]], the [[pain]], and the [[joys]] of finding meaning in life are seldom [[explored]] by people with busy lives. Making a living and [[raising children]] often become a [[focus]] and the care of [[the soul]] may only be considered as the result of some [[tragedy]] that thrusts it to the forefront of your [[attention]]. For a world to become a place of [[truth, beauty, and goodness]], it requires that people pay more attention to the care of the soul. Vulnerability is key to unlocking the deeper meanings of life by exploring the ‘uncomfortable.’
“Men are taught from an early age to be strong and to not show [[emotion]] — this is nearly a cultural norm that is deep seated in the [[DNA]] as men have traditionally been the [[warriors]] and [[hunters]] in providing [[protection]] and sustenance to the [[family]] and [[community]]. This is the conditioning that can block the emotions that allow the soul to express its own need for [[care]]. Often it is the [[woman]] in a relationship who opens up this vulnerability first and men typically are challenged to understand it. Women are also finding it difficult to express vulnerability because they are often the ones needing to hold the [[family]] [[together]] — seeing the needs of all are being met while neglecting their own [[self]] care. Women with working [[careers]] and family are even more challenged.
“The answer to all this is the antidote to a [[busy]] life. This will require that you make time to stop the train of your busy life and get out and see where your life is going. This requires that you take yourself out of your [[comfort zone]] and the well worn ruts that you have created that have become [[mundane]]. There are many ways that you can [[change]] the way you live and still provide for your sustenance. How much time do you spend [[thinking]] about your life from a higher perspective? How do others see you?
“When your life is over here on [[this world]] and you are facing [[eternity]], your busyness will stop and you will have to look at the [[totality]] of your life and how it was lived. If you never stop to ‘check-in’ with how this is going now, you may find you missed out on some very valuable opportunities because you failed to put yourself in a [[vulnerable]] place to [[explore]] things that may have enriched your life [[experiences]]. [[Understand]] that there is no other [[personality]] here or hereafter that will hold you accountable to see that you grew in [[truth, beauty, and goodness]] — this is something you will want for yourself — to store those treasures in the soul.
===Closing===
“It is never too late for you to find deeper [[meaning]] in life. You can choose to start today and make [[changes]] that will allow for your [[self]]-care. You can find these deeper parts of yourself by being vulnerable and looking at your life from a higher [[perspective]]. Looking at those uncomfortable things you typically push under, as to not disturb your busy life, can be the very thing that makes life worth living and can lead to great [[opportunities]] to enrich your experiences in [[truth, beauty, and goodness]].
“When more people begin [[choosing]] to care for [[the soul]], this will affect their relationships in a [[positive]] way where society will [[eventually]] find that vulnerability is not a [[weakness]], but a way to express truth, beauty, and goodness. This then leads to values that society will recognize as being something that benefits all people. This is the antitheses of a world changing to see wealth as a value for an enriched life rather than a [[busy]] life. Spend some time today looking at the bigger picture of your life and see where you can bring more [[truth, beauty, and goodness]] into it.
“In service to the soul,
“I AM Uteah.”
