I am baffled by people who, when presented with pure compassion, continue to reject it and act out violently. We need need some kind of catch-cry protest at the front of their lodgings, or just a bunch of people in a circle meditating and offering hand made gifts and seedlings to these obstinate people.
How can a person in a life of turmoil, violence, and monotony live so numb and continue to do so when they are witness to compassion. To me, it would seem, like living in hunger and seeing the most mouth-watering foods eaten before your eyes, their smells wafting around your nostrils … and yet saying “No thanks, I’m full.”
Please, someone, how do we stop this? These people are unapproachable, they do not respond to kindness, nor in any productive way to violence. Even use of what some would call ‘enlightening’ drugs, have only led to statements of how many ‘balls’ they were tripping and how crazy ‘shit’ was.
Maybe getting some of them real docile on some crazy amount of marijuana and sitting them in one of those “lodgings” or “churches” that I referred to in a post only 15 minutes ago. Too bad for all I know they don’t exist yet.

My dad recently proposed an idea that really stirred something within me, we were on the topic of the downfalls and cons of war and how America arms the world. Other topics on similar left wing ideas were discussed and during a lull in the conversation my dad struck up, proposing that if someone had enough money they should put it towards the construction of a church. Not for religious purposes, not for worship, but for discussion, where revolutionary talks on disarmament, equality, politics, law, philosophy, society etc.are presented to those that come and are interested.
What a chord that struck in me! Sounds like a dream congregation to me. Imagine the possibilities and the information the masses could gather, it would catch on like wild fire and would, perhaps, give fuel -once again- to the intellectual flame within the human mind.
There could be nights or days were lectures and speeches are given, nights where discussions are opened and subjects turned over. No entry fee, all welcome. How awesome would that be? After a time it could become a chain of these “churches” or lodgings.
I think that’s an awesome idea, don’t you?

There never has been any instant magic to cure the worlds problems, all change has occurred progressively. Most great events were fronted by a slow rise/struggle. Yet there was more oft then not a certain theme of hurriedness.
That’s how we need to act, with a sense of quick. There is wars being fought with guns, bombs, and all manner of weapons. We need to act in the opposite of war, like water is the opposite of fire, we douse these depersonalized/depersonalizing suits and ties in connectedness. Not of the wireless, phone-to-phone, p2p connectedness, but emotional connection and acceptance.
There is a not so silent cry for this humanity to emerge from its eddies and streams. Embrace each other, love unconditionally and readily, do not be afraid of being rejected for your kindness, your peace and compassion. Just act. Act knowing that you made the effort to better the world and that if you affected just one person than you have created a better place to live in.
Leave nothing in your social bubble of these flames of objectification and apathy. Nothing but sodden coals.
Remember, In Lak’ech Ala K’in

Don’t be afraid to call out for your rights, don’t think it is rude of you to demand your rights. It is completely superfluous to withhold your voice in fear of reprimand for claiming what is rightly yours.
Hold in your mind the knowledge that it is theotherwho is being rude and bumptious by denying you justices, and with this do not be concerned of the consequences of making yourself heard.
It does not need to be a crowd of hundreds, a YouTube channel of thousands, or a bunch of followers.
I often have a message that I want to be heard, but I have my satisfaction if I hear that one follower has taken something from it, and if it was only ever that one person that gained anything at all from my blog, I would still be satisfied. Then I would have made a difference to one persons life and that is where the butterfly effect begins.

We need to stop seeing things through this tunnel-vision reality we live in, all that we visualise at the end is what we are told to visualise. Take time out of your unnecessarily busy life to wonder at the beauty of existence.
Don’t hold back lingering glances at trees, don’t skip a glance at flecks of light in the sky. Take a deep breath and lie down on the grass and stare at the sky.Release yourself of your daily woes, temporarily forget that appointment you have, forget the dinner that has to be cooked, never mind the money you owe. Be empty, only let wonder fill you. Wonder and love. Oh and let that beautiful energy fill you from head to toe, because you will feel it. You will. But only when you are empty to all but wonder and the love that follows.
Let if flow through you, course through your entire being. Then you can go back to your day, with a mental smile of astonishment.

Forget what you have been brought up to know about love.
Love is not something that is earned or obtained, love just is. Love is assumed, love is constant. Do not confuse love with attachment, attachment wavers and fades, attachment has an expiry date. Love does not expire, no even with death; it is ongoing.
Attachment projects a false image of love, for with love comes the ability to let go of attachment. Remember that with attachment comes sadness and negativity, but with love comes only happiness and peace. Love the people you are with, do not feel attachment - attachment is a different feeling to the connectedness that love provides. Love is whole and unsegregated.
Do not confuse Love connectedness to attachment, when you feel closer to one being more than others -despite their physical- and you feel ‘connected’ or if you care to be cliche ‘in love’. This is love connectedness. Physical appearance plays a role in almost every beings life, not only human, and cannot be ignored; there is a difference between sexual attraction to beauty and love-attraction to beauty. Love attraction is the appreciation of the beautiful form without sexual attraction, the beauty simply is and you love it for that. This is not to say that sexual attraction is wrong, it is not; sex is/can be a spiritual experience for both partners, it is a beautiful form and is almost a private form of art - in some cultures it is used as meditation. Sexual attraction just has a time and a place, it should not determine your love-connectedness.
Also remember that love-connectedness is not instantaneous between two human beings, sometimes it has to be worked. The more I type, the more I realize how a better word is needed for ‘love-connectedness’ because love is, it just is - it connects us to nature and to everything living, for now the word will have to do - for the sake of making a point. Feel the connectedness.
Love is infinite within your being, love exists constantly inside of you. When you see a huge, complex tree and you think “wow” that is love; the love for life. The next time you look at a piece of life and think “wow” you need to embrace that feeling, do not question it or try to make it bigger. Simply embrace it and it will grow within you, it is natural. Humans -by modern day society- have been shut off from the true feeling and meaning of love, but love is strong and cannot be completely suppressed. Even when you look at a small tree or an ant, just think to yourself how complicated the systems are in that small thing just to allow it to live, think about their unique abilities (ants can lift huge loads!), appreciate their existence. Also notice the space they occupy, that space is theirs and that space affects you because it is in your world, you are in their world too - appreciate this shared space, the space you share with billions of other life forms.
Open yourself up to love and love will open unto you.
Since this post I have found love connectedness in a person, it has been worked up to. We “fell in love” and the connectedness we share is love, we are LOVE. I love her in a way that I love no other. Love is a beautiful experience and it will never end. I will always love.

There is a strong sense of something absent in society, in the general populace. It is a calmness or a matter of calmness. The name that was never called forth in class…
To me calmness is a place of mind, a point of being for your mind. A state that results in clarity and in peace. It’s too often forgotten and disregarded as complacency or idleness. Calm is not carefree, it is not obnoxious or arrogant. You can be calm when you are in a hurry, when you have just been robbed, when you face an obstacle.
Calmness needs to be embraced in the times where it is frequently avoided. It is bad habit that is pushing calmness further and further away from the cluttered minds of ‘today’.
Break the habit and create for yourself a space in your mind where you are able to observe your thoughts without participating in them. Forge a calm bay to rest on in the times when you find yourself stressed and under the weather; it really is not a hard task, if anything it is a gift unto yourself and by that, society.

In life we are put into these situations where we don’t know what’s what, who’s who, and where’s where? but it is these situations that guide us, and is in these moments of our life where we are able to change course and embark on a new. Some however, do not sail like this. They get lost, confused, and scared; but when the time comes to it they should take these opportunities. If we want the change so badly, then we mustn’t be afraid of commitment, of failure, of being turned down - because in our short lives, we can’t afford to waste any time. The only thing to do is to take advantage of what is given to us the moment it presents itself in, because if we don’t, then our lives will succumb to it’s unhappiness. Sometimes it merely just takes a leap of faith; an act of believing - in ourselves and ones around us. If we fail then it isn’t the end of the world, as failing is only the journey to ones success. So we should take and not pass the moments in life that are given to us, we should embrace them and chase them until we succeed. Because then we will truly be happy and it is only then, where we change course of our destiny.
Our lives are made of moments and, especially, the time between moments where we reel from their effects, and from there we point our sterns towards new directions.

As I meditate with increasing regularity, I begin to find it easier to live in the now.
See … it’s this really powerful thing and once it is over there is this rising feeling of calm and content, meditation - even the most basic - could be compared to some revolutionary pharmaceutical; relieves cloudiness of the mind and the weight of stress, relief from asthma, prevents headaches and depression, instills tranquility and steadiness of mind and body, relieves high blood pressure, assists in weight loss, strong feelings of relaxation, increased compassion, increases psychological tolerance, organizes a stable perspective, slowed aging of the mind etc, etc.
… Why isn’t it a commonplace act or even a law for pharmacists to say to their customers “Have you considered meditation, here is a giant book listing 10,000 scientifically proved physiological and psychological benefits.”
It is my belief, hopefully a supported one, that this is a hundred fold more advantageous to society and its people than quick fixes that eventually destroy your system and generally just make everyone numb.
