De-Nile

I am sure we have all done this at times, it can seem just an easy thing to do and, in some ways, it might feel that in the beginning like it helps. But floating down the river of “De-Nile” isn't the answer to things, it can over time, make things much worse. Denial is something our minds can resort to as a level of protection, and it is something we can choose when things are hard to face or deal with. I think that sometimes, we just don’t want to face up to things or what is happening, and we opt for this. Now you might be thinking, “Is this such a big issue? Will it be negatively affecting me that much?” Well, the answer is yes and in fact, it could be impacting you daily if you are still floating down the river of “De-Nile”.

The reason for this, is that our minds are totally black and white, and it has to fall into either black or white, there is no room for grey, that elusive unknown. This being the case, our inner mind just doesn’t understand denial in the way that we consciously see this to be. What our minds actually think, is that if you are in this state of denial then the things you are hiding from must be very dangerous and deadly serious. This will mean that every time we opt to float down the river of “De-Nile”, we are continuously adding fear and worry to our worry clouds. Living with that constant pretence is very detrimental to our inner mental health, as it can really cause lots of anxiety and trapped emotions to start building up in our worry cloud. The reasons for this are that our primaeval mind is the part of us that is listening to these messages very intently. If we are hiding, in denial, or pretending things are not happening, then we must be frozen in fear, and this must mean that whatever we are in denial over must be dangerous or deadly.
