What a Beautiful World

No doubt about it, the world is rapidly changing. With any sort of change comes fear, the root emotion of anything "negative" like anger, sadness, emptiness, aggression, ego, and so on. With change also comes fear's exact "opposite": love, the root emotion of our inner being and associated with anything "positive" like joy, peace, inner stillness, curiosity, ecocommunities, and so on. 

I insist upon putting "negative" and "positive" in quotes for the same reason I do so for "good" and "bad". These "opposites" only exist in our minds and help carry us in new directions, whether consciously, subconsciously, or superconsciously. 

Humanity tends to need a lot of help in all sorts of ways. Indeed, one magical fact about the universe is that we all always receive the help we need, regardless of whether we know where it is coming from or not. Furthermore, we may not always recognize this help as the help it truly is, but we also don't always know what is best for ourselves. Sometimes we don't know opportunity, even if it stares us in the face.

Maybe that opportunity is wearing a disguise and needs to be considered on a deeper level. 

What kinds of conflicting changes are we seeing? Many. Such as:

• Cryptocurrency is becoming more mainstream as the lies behind traditional fiat currencies and their respective governments get more and more exposed.
• In a pushback, governments are trying to infiltrate select cryptos in order to interfere with the decentralization trend that terrifies them so much.
• Way too many people (myself included) have utterly meaningless jobs that bring no joy or real usefulness to the world; i.e. cubicle office jobs, number crunchers, and the like. With the progression of technology, many of these professions can and probably will be automated. No offense to anyone in those professions, but the truth is, you probably hate your job anyway if you're honest with yourself. If you have one of these jobs and don't actually hate it, I'd be fascinated to know why.
• Jobs that are already easy to automate are getting replaced by robots. Enter Universal Basic Income perhaps? 
• An increasing number of people are saying adios to the rate race and are instead mastering a craft to make a living; i.e. barbers, carpentry, steel work, farming, etc. My cousin started a successful handmade jewelry company via Etsy, for example.
• Others are forming self-sufficient ecocommunities and turning their backs on societal norms in general.
• I could come up with bullet points like these all day, but I'll stop. Add to them if you want!

Anyway, these constant changes are the reason the world seems to be in utter chaos lately; there are so many conflicting emotions going every which way from all sides. What I mean is, fear is essentially sparring with love. When two opposites battle, it doesn't seem like any progress is made on the surface, but much is going on in the background...so much.

Instead of feeling frustrated at [fearful of] the state of the world, I choose to take a step back and accept [unconditionally love] what is going on and why. Collective consciousness is pulling us in a new direction. I choose to trust this new direction.

Any conflict we are seeing is what the world needs right now (either that or it's made-up conflict designed to divide and conquer us, so be careful there). Too many people are asleep and it can require shock and frustration to wake people up if they are stuck in some state of fear on a daily basis. After enough of them are awake, the new chapter will begin.

With that said, have a great weekend everyone!
