The fix

Solving problems is a natural function of intelligence. This problem-solving is a function of neural connections in the brain, so I hear. Let’s not confuse our intelligence with the incessant stream of thoughts, parading through our brain at all hours of the waking day and even in our dreams. we are passive recipients of thoughts, and we can learn to stop engaging with this auto pilot mechanism that keeps us stuck in our past or constantly fretting about our future.

We don’t have to identify with our false identities anymore. We can choose to identify as one love, one wisdom, one peace. The world already thinks enough, and thinks enough of itself. If we continue to put our “identities“ at the forefront of all we do, we will continue to pillage the Earth and each other for our selfish desires. We can’t live this way anymore.

This is why a growing number of contemplatives, meditators, silent prayers, are almost erupting into the world at this time, especially in the US with the wide expanse of mindfulness in our culture. We are more and more seeing on a larger and larger scale that this mess we have created needs to be rectified. We are the only ones that can do this. Divine intervention, to me, is more of a watcher than a fixer. The Earth and society is ours; we must make it right.

This starts in our homes and our neighborhoods. We can’t go to some service or group once a week and pay our respects and then heed no lessons for six more days. it happens in the grocery store. It happens in traffic. It happens at work. We can’t let our small selves be offended at every little thing, acting childishly in return and thinking we’re helping anyone. Granted, some people refuse to participate in this growth, I don’t know why. Perhaps greed, selfishness, or simply an antisocial inclination has overwhelmed them. It’s a hard fact, we’re not all on the same page, but we can make it more complicated for them by loving anyway.

It’s a choice and an action to love. I heard a quote recently that said paradise is only three steps away; a kind thought, a kind word, and a kind gesture. If we can all internalize that love is intentional, we can get closer to paradise. Enemies of God aside; we are gaining ground….

Peace, brothers and sisters.
