Is violence “out there” different from me?
Switch on the TV, read the newspaper, social media report it, people talk about it - endless information and news on discrimination, violence, wars, economic problems, crimes, climate crisis. No matter what it is, there is always an abundance of news out there to fill our days with fear and terror. Seems we humans just can get any peace at all. The tragedy of it all is that we are too engulfed in our own little separate lives that we fail to see the relationship we have with the world and each other….
Love can never be described using language
What if I told you that every argument, every so-called “negative” emotion or reaction gives you an opportunity to understand love - love in its true sense? I can “show” it to you.
Loneliness versus Aloneness: one of these can change your life
We have all experienced the feeling of loneliness. When there is no-one to talk to. When you feel isolated and disconnected. When you are away from family and friends. Let’s look at the repercussions one leans into when you have this feeling of loneliness. For example, people turn to alcohol, or over-eating, or the over consumption of cigarettes and other activities. I don’t want to go into all the examples here. But it seems, we have made a huge fuss over how terrible it is to be lonely. We have such a negative correlation which loneliness.
Time and Fear
Let's face it, most of us are frightened. We have so many forms of fear: we fear darkness, we fear death, we fear losing someone, we fear theft, we fear growing old. We are full of anxiousness which is reflected throughout most of societies around the world. We have anxiety about not following, anxiety of being ourselves, anxiety of what other people think or might say to us, etc. All fear. All are branches of the same tree. So can we ask, is there a relationship between time and fear?
Thought, Time, and Fear
Given the gradual dictatorship and authoritarian world we currently live in, denying us of freedom, feeding confusion and division through vaccines, and causing the great suffering of all human beings in the world, it is interesting to know that nothing in our history, if we truly cared about each other, has been able to change any of this illusionary reality. No organization, no religion or belief, science, or simply knowledge that we have gathered over time through various experiences has been able to change anything.
The brain is marvelously dangerous
Unfortunately, what I’d like to talk about is not interesting enough for most people. It’s considered too painful, or too difficult to understand, or to deep. After all, how many people in this entire world, are truly and genuinely from their heart, interested in the genuine love of all humanity?
The Real Pandemic is Failing to Observe the Truth
We have always had a pandemic, but since we are always looking to the external, the outer, we never realize it.
