Is it the bars on the Tiger cage holds the Tiger or is space between the bars holds the Tiger in?

The space between the bars is air with the bars being made of steel. However, if you remove the two of the bars and the tiger goes free. This question poses many aspects to our life as you read this chapter.

The bars are so far apart and a certain diameter to hold the tiger. The space between the bars allows air to flow in to the tiger and people to look at the tiger. The bars protect the people from the tiger and the tiger from the people. The bars create mind illusion to everybody as they protect everybody from the tiger. The tiger is penned up prowling around to find away to be free. The bars create an illusion to the tiger that it is caged with no way to leave in the moment.

The tiger creates an awesome illusion to the people that it has no life, no future and is a beautiful animal except it has to live in a cage and be an eye piece for people to look at and do what ever they want to do. The bars represent strength of the restriction and the space between them is the restriction.

The bars on the tiger cage represent the resistance of the thoughts you have in your head. The bars represent the number of thoughts and there is no space between them to allow new or different thoughts to enter your life. The thoughts you have resist all new or better to enter your life.

You have about 60,000 thoughts a day pass through your mind. When somebody says a penny for your thoughts that is $600 a day in thoughts you have. By slowing down your thought processes to only 30,000 thoughts a day and allowing your thoughts to being worth $1 because of the quality of thoughts instead of the number of thoughts how would that make you feel?

The math for a day is:

Approximately a thought a second flying your mind with you focusing on the past challenges or present challenges doesn't allow new thoughts to cross the threshold of your mind. Your mind activity flows with your life experiences past, present and future with the past are today's fears and today's fears prevent you from having faith in the unknown. Your mind is faster than computer without us realizing it or believing it is. You are smarter than a computer, however you don't have the faith and trust in our own abilities. Your mind is running all the time. With a computer you shut it down and the computer waits for a command from you. The command you give a computer allows time for a computer to operate like the space in the bars of the tiger cage. In your own mind and life you don't allow the time to quiet yourself and shut your mind down to allow the wisdom from inside you to manifest into the answers to magnify your life in a positive outcome.

All of our life you and I have relied on opinions and other people for input to our challenges, questions and life experiences or somebody has told you their opinion and told you how inadequate you were in all facets of your life. Most of the time you and I take advice from people that haven't done anything except point out other people's shortcomings and faults. Confidence, self-esteem, and trusting yourself to go inside yourself is life experience that is learned by you. You have to have the audacity to say "I can" and "I am the one who has the confidence, self-esteem and trust with in myself". By allowing gaps in your thoughts you allow new solutions to come for worn out thoughts, ideas and shortcomings.

The spaces between the bars of a tiger cage are unique because no space is the same just like people aren't the same. Even though the bars give an optical illusion they are the same. Life is a perception and how you perceive your thoughts dictates your actions, reactions or response to any given situation. Life challenges are created by the ego, which loves to create havoc causing you to jump through hoops and causing all forms of volatility in your life. The ego raises hell when you are quieting your mind. The gaps between thoughts drives the ego crazy because the circumstantial universe in which the ego operates loves chaos. However what the ego doesn't know is that in Chinese half the word chaos means opportunity.

With your mind racing 60,000 thoughts a day it is like having a picket fence of bars like the tiger cage. Chaos is caused by your thoughts with your ego as the tiger tamer in your life and you are not the tiger tamer in your life. Every distress signal you have in your life is caused by your perception of your life. Lose the ego and gain inner peace and happines. Then you are the tiger tamer in your life.

Life is a seed planted that requires space to grow like the tiger cage requires space for air to flow to the tiger. Seeds are planted so far apart in your garden for you to grow bigger vegetables. Thoughts are seeds that comes from deep inside you that require nurturing to grow. However when weeds from negative thoughts grow faster they soon choke out the positive thought seed you just planted. Positive thoughts require attention with space between them to manifest instead of letting the weeds of negative thoughts choke them out. The bars on the tiger's cage are placed a certain distance apart to allow sunlight to the tiger and that is the same with positive thoughts. You have to allow sunlight into them to manifest into vegetable bearing plants.

In todays fast pace world you are on a treadmill with no off button. Everyday you are running to get everything accomplished without taking time to grow your own garden of all you desire to manifest with what you deserve. Your thoughts all day long are what you have to do or should say what you think you have to do. You don't have to do anything when choosing not to. Setting aside 15 minutes in the morning and fifteen minutes at night when nobody can bother you is your right as a spiritual being having a human experience. Quieting the mind allows you to get in touch with yourself on the inside.

You think that you are only a human being. You are many great things all at once. Gapping your thoughts allows you to get to know the real you and allows you to find your self each day. Gapping your thoughts allows you to be a person and a spiritual being staying in tuned to yourself. Your family and whoever will let you do this when you tell them that you are taking back your life for those 2-15 minute periods everyday and allow no discussion about it. Find a place in your home, outside or where ever you feel comfortable and sit quietly. Meditation is great as it allows you to get in tune with all of you in the presence of God. Whether you believe in spirituality and meditation or not, quieting the mind also allows you to find solutions to everyday challenges and to make decisions about your life big or small. Set a certain time and the same time everyday to do quiet your mind. Your life is yours.
