Finding Truth

Humanity is struggling to find the truth. With the incessant yackety-yak of media and the so obvious inconsistencies in various controversial political narratives (including about COVID), how do we know what is true? People are turning to fact checkers, and I ask you, how do we really know for sure they speak the truth? It is a very deep rabbit hole and one has to wonder, how far does it go? Society appears to be riven with lies,. Our big challenge is uncovering the truth.

Have you considered that the real “truth barometer” resides inside you? Listen to the narrative(s), have discernment, use your critical thinking skills, question, question, and question more, then listen to your gut. Does the news you process resonate as truth? Or, does it make you squirm? Is there a niggling piece inside you, which in spite of being contrary to what you previously believed, just won’t be suppressed? Therein lies your clue.

Building a Life

There are two essential things, I believe, which bring happiness to people. One is to love and be loved. The other is to feel productive, to have a sense of purpose in life.

If we are lucky, we do work that we love. If we do not love our work (I have been
there, done that, and likely most of us have at some point in our lives), nonetheless, there is satisfaction in the expending of energy to build a life.

Building a life. Within the current scenario in society right now, let’s not lose sight of our desire, and our right, to build lives that we love. Much of our sense of fulfillment is rooted in our deep human drives.

A New Vision

Throughout all of time, humanity has experienced periods of light and dark. Historically, the low periods are an opportunity to examine the darkness, not just in the world, but also within us. Overcoming oppression is often a key theme played out in society during these times.

When I look at society right now, there can be (I think) no doubt that society has fallen to a new low. It appears to be acceptable for our leaders to bully us. (What right do they have?) And people in the interests of changing society use low energy tools such as shaming, blaming, guilt, and aggression to achieve their goal of forcing others to align to their viewpoint. It is just more bullying. Basically, humanity is groveling in the dirt.

We are so much better than this. It’s time to lift our eyes to the stars, and aspire to higher spiritual principles. We need to envision and work together to achieve a world of higher integrity and values. We can do this, but it’s time now to get on board and actively participate in creating a better world.

Nature’s Reflection

Nature offers many opportunities for reflection and contemplation. Each aspect of Earth’s beauty has its own personality and message, reflecting us back to ourselves, bestowing realizations that we may not have come to in any other way.

The Earth is our teacher, when we tune in.

Take a Stand

The external world is causing us to evaluate our internal value systems. Many will look for what the crowd seems to be deciding and follow it. But now more than ever, it is time for us as individuals to do our own critical thinking and have the courage to take a stand, even if it flies in the face of consensual opinion. The future of humanity depends on it.

Have the courage to be different, if deep down you have convictions you feel are right, but they “go against the flow”.

Those who really know you and if you are a good person, will accept you even when you dare to have a different opinion. Those who don’t know you and see you as “the enemy” because you dared to be different from them, well, in the greater scheme of your life, do they matter?
