Filter Your Senses
Filter Your Senses At An Early Age
How many times a day are your five main senses engaged with an offensive attack on your beliefs or convictions? What have you seen today where the image has left a negative or damaging impression in your mind? What touched you today that made your skin crawl? What sounds have you heard that really are noise and have caused you to lose focus, distracted you from what matters in life? Have you smelled or tasted anything that made your stomach turn or simply made you sick? Our five senses are being overly engaged to get our attention…what can we do about it if we don’t want to give our attention?
Our presence in today’s “civilized” world is full of life, some of it good, and some of it not so good. In fact, some of it is bad, really bad. As a person that holds themselves to a higher standard, we should try to filter out as much as we can of the things that try to draw us away from our beliefs and convictions. If we continue to allow ourselves, our five senses, to be subjected to a barrage of stimuli that goes against our belief system, we will in time become desensitized. Our convictions will slowly erode and we will find what once bothered us no longer is as much of an issue today. Is this a good thing?
