Why I Love My Crazy… and Yours!
Have you ever felt like you're going crazy? Or that the crazy you see in someone else or in the world scares you so much that you want to either hide or run like hell? You are not alone!
You better sit down, because I have some good news that the voice running the show in your head doesn't want you to hear: there's no such thing as crazy!
It's an illusion.
If you try to analyze it or fix it, it will keep you disoriented.
Seriously, what could be crazier than clinging to a planet hurtling through space at nearly 70,000 mph? After that, throwing plates or feeling like an out-of-place alien doesn't seem all that insane!

So..... what 'in the world' are we supposed to do about it? Well, we really only have two choices. (You make this choice hundreds of times every day without realizing it, we're just bringing it into the light so we can become aware of it. Also: there is no right/wrong here).
☆ CHOICE 1: Coping through ego ☆
Ego copes with things that anger, scare, or threaten us by projecting blame and fear, being defensive, controlling situations, policing others, and even labeling and medicating the crazy.
The pro: You get to carry on thinking everyone else is crazy or that everyone else made you crazy.
The con: Perpetual, groundhog-day level suffering. Once ego knows you're all about quick feel-good... the instant escape, it'll find and use every little crazy crumb on your path to keep you hooked.
☆ CHOICE 2: Welcoming with your inner divine ☆
The lasting antidote to the crazy you perceive is to welcome it just as it is, without trying to change it. And when I say accepting, what I really mean is welcoming your thoughts and reactions. I don't mean condoning or feeding it. I mean recognize the truth, which dissolves the illusion (this is true forgiveness). You see your 'little self' and the world for what they are: a reflection of thoughts and beliefs. You cannot change the crazy, but you can free yourself of it.
The pros: Freedom, clarity, forgiveness, real love, and incredible empowerment.
The con: You might discover that you miss the crazy because ego thrives on conflict, fear, and separation. We all kind of like the crazy because we are so attached to our identity and this world.

The path to healing the crazy lies in forgiveness, love, and welcoming acceptance. This is not the approach that most of the world is ready for... but you are, even if it feels hard, even if it feels like you can't seem to get it right. I go through these gyrations every day, too! Keep at it, because you are getting closer and closer to release from the perceived insanity of the ego-driven world.
Big love,
Susie
