This societal world or civilization that we live in today is a construct that has been created from the imagination of man which produces an image of the reality that we desire. In this world that has been created by man through his imagination, we have the ability to either be the better or worse version of ourselves.
There is no doubt that the vast majority of us especially those that occupy powerful and influential positions lean more towards the worst version of ourselves. With all the potential and opportunity that we have to be the better version of ourselves and we don’t, the question that I am going to ask is, WHY?
Well simply put, the avaricious and self indulgent nature of mankind as well as our insatiable appetite for power, wealth, dominance and control has lead us down the path of inumerable and unwarranted violent incursions, endless wars and conflicts. We seem to feed off of the violence, pain and suffering that we so easily inflict upon the weak, poor, uneducated, sick, and defenseless people. Our history is replete with some of the most horrific atrocities and acts of brutal inhumane treatment and indifference towards our fellow human beings.
Imagine if you will a world absent of wars, hate, suffering, violence, poverty, injustice, famine, aggression and discrimination just to name a few. Is such an idyllic world with this reality attainable? Well, I am of the mindset that it can be for it has also been said that if a thing can be imagined in the mind then it can be very much realized and achieved and thus becoming a reality. Hence the reality that we experience today.
Sustainability is another question altogether!!
So, what exactly is reality? How does reality exist and how is it experienced?
The reality that we live in is an extension of human consciousness which fundamentally means that it is as I have said earlier in this post (a human construct). Everything that we experience is a result of our consciousness and actions which in turn (knowingly or unknowingly) create this reality that the majority of us have consented to and experience through our sensory perception. Now you may ask how have we consented to this construct?
Allow me to explain and it is quite simple. Basically as a conscientious collective we have not objected to or made any bonafide or concerted effort to change the reality that we live in. For the most part we have unanimously accepted this world as it is and how it is being shaped every moment of our lives right in front of our eyes. I guess we just feel as though there is nothing that we can really do about it or either we don’t give it that much thought both collectively and as individuals. I mean hey, who is actually going to sit down and ponder why the world is so out of whack and consider what they can honestly do that will have a meaningful impact to change it?
Well there may just be a few who do actually ponder this and I actually being one of them!
This world is a product of our imagination and creativity. Nothing more and nothing less! All that we experience is a by product of our beliefs and how those beliefs are formed and acted upon which in turn produces the societal world that we inhabit and refer to as our reality.
(A few notable intellects, biophysicists and philosophical minded folks might disagree and say otherwise such as reality is just an illusion).
Now, with that being said I think that we can fundamentally agree that we do shape the so-called reality that we experience and therefore are very much capable of reshaping it! All it would require is for us to collectively be the better version of ourselves. Right?
Why is it that love, respect, consideration, compassion and empathy for our fellow human beings such a difficult reality for us? On a broad scale, in our society as we know it today, these behavior traits aren’t that popular on a daily basis but let there be a catastrophe, some disaster or horrific event and man folks just start oozing with the better version of humanity or when someone has a hidden agenda..
For the most part we just seem to promote and gravitate towards that which is most destructive and detrimental to our survival and well being. Mankind has always been on a collision course towards self destruction and is seemingly unable or unwilling (for whatever reasons) to change directions.
Apparently this is who we are and what we have elected to be which is definitely the worst version of ourselves. Whenever there has been an attempt to change course the worst version of ourselves rises up and has always pushed back and suppressed the better version of ourselves for whatever reasons.
Is a state of Peace and Harmony such a difficult thing to achieve and live with? History has shown us that they are difficult to achieve and maintain but it is doable. Any garden of flowers has to be attended to on a regular basis for it to maintain it’s beauty otherwise the weeds will eventually overtake it.. Now with that said, there are a lot of beautiful gardens in this world just as there are beautiful caring people and I do recognize that. However, there just aren’t enough of us to fight off the aggressive nature of the weeds!
So, for the moment ( and that’s what life is, a series of moments), this better version of humanity will continue to remain shut up in the closet of wishful thinking and never see the light of day until we, as conscientious and courageous human beings collectively decide to turn the knob and present it to the world as a very well maintained and beautiful diverse garden .
The mind is the creator of all madness and the ego the instigator of all conflicts.
Hello and blessings to all of you… Man, you know it has been a little while in between posts , but hey it has not been for a lack of desire to write as much as it has been lacking the spark. Every now and then I experience a lapse because I slip into a period of what I can best express as zero gravity… I am here, my senses are functioning and the thoughts are circulating however the process from the mind to paper is a being of it’s own…With that said though, I always have a few thoughts that are in draft form but have yet to be completed. This is one of them… Initially the title was going to be (Humans Need Comfort) but as I began to think and write, it dawned on me that comfort is just one element in the equation and only scratches the surface. We are an extremely empty species and our emotional needs go much deeper than that.. However, for this piece I want to talk about the need we have for comfort and how we will search endlessly for it and try almost anything that will bring that one ever elusive quality to our life. With every tick tock of the clock, every passing day, week, month and year, we are on a constant journey or quest if you will, seeking comfort. …
Welcome to my space where I share my thoughts and views and it is my hope that you will do the same.. Here you are free to express yourself as you please without the threat of ostracism or criticism from me. It is incumbent upon us as humans to engage in meaningful dialogue with the hopes of gaining a better understanding of each other, ourselves and the world that we live in…
I want to challenge folks to think outside of what they have been taught and to look within themselves and conduct an honest self-evaluation in order to seek truth..We all have been mind washed and conditioned to slide into a prearranged or preformed concept layed out by others.. I’m here to let you know that you can form your own perspective from your natural sense and intuition and that you are not what you have been told you are. As a matter of fact, we are undeniably more. We are all invaluable extensions of a higher source that requires connectivity that will enable us to become much more enlightened and relevant beings.. We can be the conduit through which this source will guide our minds and hearts with understanding, wisdom, knowledge and clarity…I sincerely believe that for us to achieve this we must rid ourselves of the shackles that bind us to mankind’s false doctrines of religions and faith and creation theories..
Welcome once again. It has been awhile between posts, so I hope that this topic will make up for the lapse in time. Now, as the title says, Let’s be truthful so I will open by saying; I’m sure that I am not the only person that is perplexed by our existence on this planet.
Someone or something is responsible for our existence here and who or what that may be is far beyond my realm of knowledge. However, I do firmly believe that it is not by some mere happenstance. Growing up I had been taught and conditioned to believe that my existence here could be attributed to a God figure and of course this so-called God figure was a white man with long flowing white hair and beard.. Over the course of time that perception changed and I had denounced this so-called God and had become an non-believer. I just couldn’t fathom a so-called loving God would allow his children (creation) to experience so much horror and suffering in a world dominated by whites….Why would this so-called God show them favor and appear to exclude darker skinned humans? As time went by and I learned more and more about man’s history on earth, I came to realize that all of human kind has suffered and experienced unthinkable horrors at the hands of other humans. Most importantly, that it is man who is the purveyor of wickedness, terror. mayhem, torture and many other types of atrocities and sometimes, occasional acts of kindness, empathy and compassion.
Now with that said, what are the chances of us actually being a species that is the by-product of genetic engineering and or manipulation?
Hello and blessings to all. Let’s talk about the one thought I’m fairly certain that most of us at one time or another have had regardless of how long we may have been on this planet..and that is….
There just never seems to be enough allotted time and life as a lot of folks will say, is simply much too short. This is called brevity and we all can most definitely attest to its ups and downs which creates a perpetual ebb and flow of uncertainty and constant challenges which are vicissitudes.. Yeah, these are just two words out of many that most of us will never use or even know. However, these two words sort of sum up life’s mortality, unpredictability and all that encapsulates it.
Welcome once again to another insightful journey into the realm of truth fused with just a bit of skepticism.. I would like for you to try to approach this particular topic with an open mind (which may be a little difficult for some)and just allow yourself the freedom of thought outside of past and current indoctrination’s of religion and faith. Consider for a moment the possibility that everything you’ve been taught about God and Jesus is a lie or just another story borrowed from other stories in antiquity of ancient deities. Everything is not what we have been taught it is so, are you ready to challenge the conventional school of thought? Iam!!!
