Skin Deep Conversations. (2 min 16 sec)

You know, we're not really talking to each other anymore. It's more like we're interacting with each other's data banks. Think about it. When we speak, we're engaging with a whole mess of past experiences, beliefs, fears, desires, hopes, guilt, shame, ideas, and a million dormant thoughts. We're not hearing each other. We're just waiting for our turn to speak. And when we do talk, what do we talk about? People, places, things. Anything but the truth.

God? God’s an afterthought. "I'll make time for God later," we say. But later never comes, does it? We've bought into this illusion so deeply that we think we are our roles. Bob the Butcher, Jane the Lawyer, Tom the President. We let these roles, these identities we didn't even create, dictate our lives.

It's mind-boggling, really. We allow what didn't create us to rule over us. We forget that we're more than our jobs, our titles, our fears, and desires. We've let these things define us, control us, and in doing so, we've lost touch with who we really are.

Imagine if we stripped all that away. What would be left? The truth. The real conversation we should be having. The one where we remember our connection to God, to each other, to the universe. The one where we realize that all these roles and labels are just distractions from our true selves.

But we avoid that conversation. Why? Because it's uncomfortable. It forces us to confront our illusions, our false selves. It demands that we wake up from the dream and see things as they truly are.

So, let's stop waiting for our turn to talk. Let's stop talking about nothing. Let's start listening, really listening, to each other. Let's start having the conversation that matters. The one that reconnects us to our true selves, to each other, and to God. Because that's the only conversation worth having.
