“And so I insist—and God backs me up on this—that there be no going along with the crowd, the empty-headed, mindless crowd. They’ve refused for so long to deal with God that they’ve lost touch not only with God but with reality itself.” (Ephesians 4: 17-18, the Message Bible)

We must wake up to reality. Let’s not allow the world’s pervasive point of view to mesmerize us into losing our grasp on what is real and important, healing and right.

We have to and can stand out from the crowd by being mindful, rather than mindless. We can stop being led by the fears and blame, darkness and doubt, that can be compelling because no deliberate nor deeper thought is required of us.

This ignorance—conscious or unconscious—keeps us living lives that are small and limited, even if it feels easier to be following the crowd. There is no true power in numbers when there is no God, good, Truth in them. If we are joiners of whatever is popular or simplest, we may be accepted by others, but have we not then left behind an opportunity to wake the world to something more true and meaningful? Have we not, in essence, lost ourselves in the crowd and forgotten who we truly are?

Reality is not what the masses believe but what God knows. Let’s be willing to turn away from the empty dream and to wake to learn more of the radiant reality of Life as it really is.
