The night that changed my life - what the “self” did not want me to publish
My “self” has held-back this conversation for 2 years. I’ve told only a few close friends about this, but since questions are starting to arise, if you don’t mind, I’d like to get this out in the open, even just this once.
When people purchase a book, or read something that’s laughably interesting from this writer on platforms such as LinkedIn, their minds begin asking questions. Who is this? What does he know about this! He’s not a philosopher. How did all of this come about? Is it really true. This is not love, blah blah. So in sharing this, I’d like to request the reader to please not paint any images of the writer. And if you already have one, delete it. If it’s difficult, perhaps you can observe your own mind as things arise and delete the images that might be coming up.
Good.
Now please go on to read…
Is Labelling Emotions Affecting Mental Health?
What if one day you woke up, and forgot the meanings to certain words. In fact, certain words no longer even appear in the dictionary. In fact, the whole world forgot their meanings.
Words such as frustration, anger, sadness, worry, stress, hurt...
If love really existed in this world, there would be no wars
Will Artificial Intelligence be handed the responsibility of governing electricity, internet, power, energy, military? If you refuse to follow a mandated government order, will AI send drones to police your house - to have you under house arrest? We have created technology that can be the micromanager of all micromanagers. If we allow AI to govern such systems, which is being talked about, then do we program AI to make decisions based on compassion?
Is your idea of relationship hindering love?
What do we mean by relationship? Relationship here meaning the alignment between you and me, or you and another. Together, we create society. That society in which we live is not separate from you and I. In your own teams, the relationship you have with another creates the team, the organization, the society.
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.
If you can’t lead with love, don’t lead at all
People have always looked up to leaders. Companies spend millions of dollars on leadership training every year. We elect so-called “leaders” to lead a country. We look-up to school principals to lead education. We even have thought leaders and gurus to help us gain more insight about us, and as such, we like to “follow” their ways to replicate their success. It’s interesting what I said just now. Did you realize something? I said that it’s interesting that we rely on others to give us more insight about ourselves and that we like to follow their ways to replicate their success. It seems to me that we are always chasing something that other people magically have that we don’t, doesn’t it?
On freedom, fighting, and love
So, what is freedom? Humans have been fighting for freedom since probably the beginning of time. Freedom can refer to many things, such as freedom to go to watch a football game; freedom to choose what career we would like to have; freedom to choose which restaurant to eat at tonight; freedom to choose where we want to live; freedom to choose a person to befriend. We can define freedom in many ways. We seem so well practiced to express that freedom and choose to do what we like. We also have the option to choose not to do something, and we believe this is also freedom. It seems freedom of choice is rated so highly in our world today.
Is Understanding Death the Key to Unconditional Love?
Questioner: Why do people “see the light” right at the end of their life or when they know they will die?
GC: What happens to me when I die? Is this something you want to go into to? Especially when the so-called “wise” in the world are trying so hard to prolong our lives, to live to 200 years old, or perhaps become immortal one day? Or are we so afraid of death we would rather put it off for as long as possible? When you ask, “what happens to me when I die….”, what is the me? Can we go into this, first?
Love is not defined by “thought”
Isn't it interesting that before Covid, you were not concerned about the preventable deaths of millions of people that die from malnourishment, cancer, diseases caused by substandard living conditions, drug addiction and suicide.
