The music snarls very loud with high and low pitches followed by a sound of a woman desperately clutching at her clothes, while her face is grimaced in an uncontrollable series of eerie expressions of sheer fright. From the corner of the shadows of the densely populated trees in the forest, we get a glimpse of why the woman's face is in sheer agony and terror. Straight ahead with arms outstretched, an almost unimaginable beast charring an expression of pure horror, seeks to do his master's will....shrieks and more shrieks as the woman realizes their is no escape....from a life ending in pure domination and control.....she knows her fate is sealed, no more will she be able to control her own thoughts......emotions....
Believe it or not this scenario is not limited to dark horror movies, but is played out in the hearts and minds of people just like you and me everyday. How many times have you stumbled out of bed into the bathroom, back to bedroom, and then in a fog barely make it downstairs or around the corner to kitchen, for your pick-up yes--coffee. I introduce you to the Zombie Complex-yes- I know you don't want to be called a zombie. Think about it and the scenario I just painted, aren't you dead if your eyes are not opened, feet barely walking, thoughts not clear, not fully awake, somewhere between here and there, certainly you're not alive.
Too many times our lives are played out like a zombie with outstretched arms, bidding his master's deceitful,and treacherous orders. Sorry to be the one to break the bad news, there's nothing alive about a zombie. The very thing we allowed free reign in controlling us now wants, to make us his Zombie.
Guess what, our spiritual lives resemble this when we refuse, ignore, perpetrate to leave dead issues alone. We in turn become dead issues ambassadors, spokesperson, it's representative and give to these dead issues the authority to walk around and prey on the fertile feeding grounds they have not planted.
Isn't it time to stop letting others control your heart, mind, body and soul? We give up so much when we allow others to control us. I wouldn't leave my self open to the control of others. Who is controlling you? Do you know?
Yeah, Janet Jackson said it best, Control. http:www.sylviajoyner@twitter.com
