Up up and AWAY ???
Up up and away they say. Up seems to be on the rise alright. Oopps! Rise. Yeah I kind of meant that.
Raise your game, elevate your life, raise the bar, level up, rise up, raise your vibration, wake up and become woke, lift up your life, rise to the occasion, higher frequencies, highest standard, high on life.
These are all beautiful terms and statements we hear everyday which lean towards improving our lives. The idea that improvement is somewhere in the “up” direction. Well of course it must be because the opposite of which would be down. And who wants to be down?
Down and out, lower level, down and dark, lower standard, below par, under the weather, down in the dumps.
How come nobidy ever says “I am on top of the weather today” ?
Make ya wonder wouldn’t it though? Is it that the sky is upwwards and all things heavenly and then the opposite is said for down below and all things devilish and hell like? Down is a bad place to be according to these ideas. Yet, yes of course there is a “yet”. Yet when we are ready to get involved we could be asked the same question in both directions. “Are you “up” for a challenge?” And we reply ” Yeah that would be cool, I am down for that”.
How about, Can I count on you to be involved “Can I put you “down” for xyz?”.
And then it is okay to be fun too. “Are you down for a little fun?”
Weird isn’t it?
Though down can be a very serious place yet you can be down for fun?
And all things good and successful seem be “at the top of the ladder” and we can be either up for some fun or down for some fun.
The funny part is how words are used daily and what they actually mean and what effect they can have over our lives. We may never really give too much thought to what we say or what we are hearing and yet they mean so much and can have huge effects over our lives. Nope they do not have huge effevts under our lives. We the people that is have aligned up with positive and down with negative. Person A may have a positive influence over person B. All the while persom B may be under the influence of person A. Now it gets even weirder because it is possible that person A could be a negative influence OVER somebody, yet we rarely say that person B is UNDER a negative influence of person A. It is almost like the negative aspects are automatically assumed. Solely because of the placement of over or under.
So to rise up, what does this mean? To raise our vibration and our consciousness, to become “woke”, elevated, upper echelon top notch, top of our game, what is it we need to do and why so? Will we reach for the stars? They are up therr somewhere alright. “Up up and away” though never “down down and here”.
I like to be here, so am I up or am I down?
Many moons ago there was an airline that had the slogan of “Up up and Away” do you think it just sounded good? There was thought went into it. To be using the airline represented money and status because flights were not as cheap as they are today and to be going up in a plane was an expense that meant you could afford it and to be going up up and away meant to be travelling to some where nice for holidays or vacation. Again a sign of status to be able to afford the luxury item of airplane travel and holidays. So “Up up and away” really did mean somerjing big and beautiful and being up or going up meant a high status.
Ah there it is the word “high”, this carries nothing of status though. We laugh or become scared of somebody who might be “high” we question their mental health, we look unfavourably upon them for being perhaps high on drugs. We run campaigns of telling children to say no to drugs and refrain from getting high. Yet we have been churning out chants and sayings of how upwards is the place to be, just don’t get “High”.
We then again by the same token will question the mental health of somebody who is too happy and always “high” on life. High on life itself. And we do not wish to see our friend or loved one “down”. We use medications to stop somebody from being “down”. Head scratching of confusion once again.
Don’t get high is a message.
Don’t be down is a message.
Do get to raise your vibration and become awoken.
Do be down for whatever comes your way in life.
So accept whatever comes my way and be okay with it. Just don’t be going around getting high.
Raise awareness, raise myself up to a level of which exactly? A level of not too high just make sure I am not down. Is this the message and idea?
Oh! Wait a minute. There might be subliminal messages and mixed meanings. Ah for fkuc sakes. Ya mean society is messing with us and changing things up to make us run out and buy whatever they are selling. Like the airplane, we can get an UPgrade if we have the extra few bob to pay. Or we can UPgrade the level of service we are getting. Who ever went running for a DOWN grade?
So get upgraded yes.
No downgrades.
Stay high on life just not drugs.
Be down for whatever comes your way each day and that way you are elevated by being up for a challenge and down with the here and now.
Sheeeeeeshhhh. This could have my head spin out of control. Out and in, yikes!!! Best leave them for another day.
