Sharing Perspectives

in #esteem6 years ago (edited)

This began as a response to this post by @ravenking13.

Instead of responding there, I decided to post it here. (Primarly due to the length of my response.)

Perhaps, others might enjoy and join the conversation as well?

I concur with everything you have written here. We share a very similar perspective.

There have been many times when I have felt frustrated, despondent even, at people's, at society's, at the world's lack of awareness, the lack of forethought, or any thought for that matter beyond immediate satisfaction, beyond a money or power-driven incentive.

It is distressing. It truly is. This is the problem with a profit-model. It is not the right things that are chosen, but whatever, whichever is most profitable. Those two things are inevitably not going to be the same.

We are losing our humanity in our use of technology. Not to mention how we are manipulated (for the most part unknowingly) by AI on an increasing scale (dopamine rewards, exploitation of behavioral economics, etc).

But I digress, you are right to take a position of Hope. It may be the very madness that drives the change, that awakens humanity.

The potential for change exists. It certainly only exists if there is hope of its existence.

I have high hopes of a mass awakening, of change, of a new beginning.

Quantum Physics is a topic of endless interest to me, particularly of late. The implications and possible uses for Quantum entanglement, for example, are absolutely awe-inspiring.

Yes. We are the creators of our own reality.

We affect the world just by our very existence. Energy is always moving. We also have the incredible power to direct our energy (consciously and subconsciously) by our action(inaction), our words, our emotions, etc.

Yes, we are inherently tied to everything and everyone. All is One. Everything is connected.

When we step back, we are merely a part, a piece of the whole. Essentially, we are interacting with ourselves. We are part of something greater.

If people only realized this truth, it would change everything. It would awaken people's awareness to the responsibility we have to one another, to everything, to the planet. We are all responsible to each other.

If we could move from a profit motivated model to a more altruistic, a more compassionate model it would change everything.

This realization is the awakening. It is the acceptance of being One with everything. It opens the potential of the power within us.

When we realize we are One, we come into alignment with that unity. We no longer go against the very nature of what we are. We no longer live with incongruence (which causes our distress and subsequently our "dis-ease"). We can find peace. We can find belonging. We can find purpose.

Life is not happening to us. We are life. We are happening. We are being.

In this state, we are merely human being.

We are not powerless. Our power does not lie outside of us. It is not external.

No, rather it is within.

We are powerful beyond measure.

When you think about it, you realize there really is no death. Energy is never lost. It merely moves from one state into the next.

As a part of a greater whole, we are not separated at all. Not even by death.

Energy neither gained nor lost, has no beginning and has no end. It is infinite. It is eternal.

So, in even in death, we live forever.
