Sweet Gaia wept as
she shrugged off
the last of the humans.
I can tell you with certainty
that those were tears
of joy.

Indeed, I imagine they would be, sadly…
We are collectively short of our divine potential by many, many orders of magnitude.
Indeed true…. Such a waste. It’s agonizing. I keep hoping humanity will evolve, will take that quantum leap…. the necessary critical mass. Gaia weeps.
Politics is crippling the world. BOTH sides of the aisle are wrong and missing the point. It’s like trying to win a chess match when the game is actually badminton. Wrong time, wrong venue, wrong assumptions, wrong constructs, wrong models for behavior, etcetera. And organized religion is no better. Oh well, it’s time for a bawdy limerick…
Alas, true on all counts. There are a few visionary ones among us though. A wise man once told me that, when faced (in an election) with two bad choices, to vote for the lesser of two evils. If everyone would vote that way, the bar would eventually be raised. Critical mass would be reached and our paradigm could change for the better. Might take a few generations, but it’s worth a shot. ๐
I would agree though who decides on which is the lesser? It is not always readily apparent. Consider that the reference – the standard for “good” that one uses as the rubric for decisioning – should be absolute and tested, not some arbitrary set of principles suiting the day. Here is where I go for peace and insight into the absolute https://www.jkrishnamurti.org/, for what it’s worth. Peace, love, and all that jazz ๐ —CC
We would each follow our own conscience in that decision. Good is love, honesty, integrity, kindness. Bad is the opposite of those. But that’s just my opinion.
I have high regard for the teachings of Krishnamurti, btw. We’re on the same page, methinks. It’s been years since I read his teachings, though. Thanks for the link, Carlos. ๐โฎ๏ธ
We are on the same page. I do not think there is a politician on the planet who embodies love, honesty, integrity, or kindness.
I think many sincerely try – the idealistic ones. But they’re soon sucked into the politics of it all. All a matter of degree. And most have no real connection to mother earth – Gaia, getting back to your original topic. (And I agree about religion – it’s all nonsense. However I do feel the divinity of all-life throughout the cosmos.)
All things unnaturally systemic are intrinsically designed to fail – politics, organized religion, etc. See Gรถdel’s incompleteness theorem. But yes, the cosmos is teeming with awareness – it is awareness.
Yes, all so true!
P.S. “At the Feet of the Master” – that was my introduction to Krishnamurti, in the early 70’s. Still have it! ๐
Written when he was very young – a teenager.
P.S. And thank you, I’ve enjoyed the conversation. ๐
Absolutely! Thank you for keeping the thread going. I have enjoyed it as well. Till the next one. —CC
