I feel un inner urge to express what I see, to communicate and share with others all these impressions. Often the things I see are there, not yet manifest, but waiting... to be observed, talked about, and embraced.
These new insights need another approach, a more vivid curiosity...
Due to fear and prejudice we prefere to see only "the offcial " truth - but THE OFFICIAL TRUTH IS DEAD - being dead, it has nothing to give...
We can continue pretending Death is fascinating or...we can take the trouble to LIVE...
THE NEW has no definition yet...
Again, IT requires another "perception", the courage to apprehend everything differently, from a totally new angle, with new confidence and inquisitive touch. This blogg is not about interesting concepts, it is about participation...finding new solutions, inspiration, togetherness..
Many have conformed to the sick society of today. What do you do when all is sick?
Very good question.
I ask myself the same question. We can maybe discuss this together.
Does it benefit me to lie?…What do I get out of that, if I continue with self-deceit?…
I don´t think it comes to “doing” something yet….
When I understand that I can not continue lying, I no longer find any purpose in escaping or running away from myself in plenty of inane thoughts ar activities. Instead I stay with what I am – with my loneliness, my sorrow, my joy, my vulnerability…
Staying with what I am, wholly embracing myself is the start. It means to regain your dignity being yourself, exactly the way you are just now.
It is soothing to let go of all false expectations, to be honest with yourself, and show who you are…
In due time, when we become stronger, actions come naturally.
What do you think?
I agree. You are practicing the action of no-action and the art of detachment without detaching. As you know, we are the one’s who walk the razor’s edge. I’m thankful for what I have and if not, so what. Easier said than done as I’m still working on myself–the most challenging job of my life.
Through my narrow lens I see the world. I keep trying to widen my perspectives. I will never be able to have the total view. At this juncture of intersecting time and space, I do not see a cure in sight for the world’s malaise. But we must live somewhere in the middle of optimism and pessimism. Yes, there is grave sickness, but there are is also Light Healers – they are ordinary people that live ordinary lives – humble lives. You can find them on wordpress, walking in the street – you know – that person who does a kind act that stops you in your tracks – the person that nobody seemed to notice extending compassion and kindness to another. There is hope within the despair.
I know them very well.

Thank you!
You are so welcome friend!
When all is sick, it is my responsibility to take care of my sickness. I get to choose how I live in this moment. I have a choice. We are forced, from the beginning of groups of people living together to conform to what the group “norm” says is normal. Most of the seven billion people on earth are living unwanted lives.
I must awaken to my own intelligence. I am the world. Whatever I do today, is part of the world. The relationship between myself and the world is not separate. We are taking the journey together in intersecting time and space right here, right now. We are waking up one by one that we are being led. We are trying to discover what real relationship to one another is all about. No one is our real authority. The world is you and me.
I must look at myself, my actions, my devious manipulations in everything I do and speak. I must ask myself, “What is my motivation or intention?” What am I bringing to this world, this me, this you? Just looking, without judgement, I can learn countless things about the world through my own body, speech, and mind. Do I enjoy watching the world (me and you) suffer?
No! Then what will I do about it right now? The issue is to look inside without the me judging. It is possible to look at ourselves without judging. That is how we learn to understand ourselves: the world.
If I say, I am not violent, is that true? If I say I am not envious, is that true? If I say I am all compassionate, is that true? I must find out myself. When looking at myself, if I judge myself by cultural standards is it true? Ex. It is okay to kill an insect but not okay to kill a human. Etc. We must create our own questions from deep within ourselves – not answer according to how we have been conditioined. This is my response – not from anyone but my heart.
Simply terriffic!
That’s it. If you meditate deep enough on those questions, the answers arrive. They may not be the ones you like but they arrive. But if all is sick, it is going to be harder for you to find basic means as those answers to the questions will make you realize the point of the original question. If you don’t understand, that is another point.

I am se incredibly grateful for what all of us are sharing here. You see, the very fact that we linger and discuss with greatest seriousness on this – such a difficult topic in question – means that yes…SOMETHING IS HAPPENING. It is hard like hell to face this present reality, but we are on the right track to pertinent answers.
We are sharing great insights, that go beyond this very context, into something far more comprising than we are aware.
Yes, Julien, it is wonderful to discuss our thoughts here without fear on wordpress. I am thoroughly enjoying the process, and look forward to reading your blog each day…more food for thought!
