RE: The Wonder of It All - Original Abstract Art and Writing

in #art5 years ago (edited)

Thank you, @free-reign - I really appreciate your enthusiasm and encouragement!

I think that the behaviours you describe are 'normalised' rather than 'natural' per se. Having raised a human baby through to teenagehood, I've had the privilege of observing an unconditioned human first hand, and neither my own nor anybody else's offspring that I've spent time with has tendencies that can't be wisely guided in the direction of what is life-serving and beautiful, rather than becoming uncaring and irresponsible.

However, with the situation at large as it now stands, I agree that the rehabilitation of humanity will require a miracle: the miracle of our focussed intent, I hope...

The individual can be redeemed and/or kept healthy with the right actions and interactions, but the unconsciousness of the masses and the manipulative, destructive systems that control them are an entirely different matter. They need to see better models since we humans are primed to learn via the 'model imperative'. And THAT not-so-small task falls to those of us who 'know better'...

Because we DO know now, with a high degree of accuracy, what causes trauma (which is what leads to destructive tendencies) and how to prevent and heal it (which leads to interconnectedness and co-operation).

With that being the case, I'd posit that making the dissemination and implementation of that information a priority will springboard miracles and leaps in consciousness and human evolution.

Actually, I'd say that it already is, despite outward appearances to the contrary... 💚💚💚

Thanks again kindly for stopping by, and for your support of my work. I am most grateful 💚💚💚

Totally agree with you on the normalized aspect. It takes a truly inquisitive mind today, to break out of that normalized state you mention; even if it's just momentarily. I raised a daughter from birth, and by myself from 6 years old on. Today she's middle age, and with a solid footing.

Peer pressure affected her and I feared where that might take her, but she shares my thoughts and values as an adult, and I never pressured her to do so. I did something right, and I'm thankful.

Redemption is always possible, IMO. Sometimes it's not likely, but it's still possible until the end. I'm looking forward to the time when the "miracles" are taking place all over the world. Thanks for your reply and have a great day!

It does take a high degree of curiosity and spiritedness to see through the web of deceit, you are right, and even more to stay with that inquiry. And there will always be pitfalls and distractions along the way - like the peer pressure your daughter encountered and dallied with - but with strong models and the direct experience of our human capacity for love, connection, trust and kindness, redemption always awaits...As you've found with your daughter, doing the 'right' things, living the 'right' values, is the crucial tipping point: modelling, sharing, BEING the qualities we hold dear.

Here's to the day when miracles are the new 'normal', my friend 🙌 😊 🙏

With love, Jay 💜💜💜
