This meditative text is a kind of wake-up call for us humans. It is both brutal and benevolent. In any case, it shouldn't be approached with any feeling of guilt or self-criticism of any kind nor seen as an incentive towards external action. What is needed is quiet introspection, self-care, and love.

Transcript

These uncertain times are bringing people together so that they can remember what solidarity is,

An essential component of human spirit.

No one is alone,

Separate and separated.

Interconnectedness is what defines us.

And of course this is not only the interconnectedness between human beings but between all forms of life on earth.

All that makes the fabric of life on earth.

Humans have evolved to grow self-centered,

Greedy and lonely and they have forgotten how wonderfully connected they were to life around them.

These troubled times are a divinely timed reminder of what humans are,

A part of life,

A part of all living life on earth.

Not separate,

Not superior,

Not any different in any way.

It is high time humans remembered who they were.

And to do so,

They need to go inside to discover their actual self,

Their actual heart,

Their actual strength.

There is nothing sadder than a man or a woman who does not know himself or herself and goes about thinking he or she does.

And there is no other way than introspection to know oneself and honor oneself.

There is no other way to remember.

Remember everyone is like one member of one organism,

A single organism.

Remember the essence of being human.

Remember the meaning of life.

There is nothing sadder than a man or a woman or a child for that matter who does not know what it is to be human and what it means to be human.

And so many of you walk around like zombies.

Where is the sparkle of life?

The sparkle of light.

Where is the meaning of your lives?

Where is joy?

There is no joy in such rapid,

Stressful rhythms.

There is no joy in living in the fear of lacking or dying.

There is no joy in the solitude inherent to modern life.

There is no joy in slavery.

There is no joy.

And these troubled times paradoxically bring joy back into your lives.

The simplest things become precious again.

The abundance had hidden the simple pleasures life offers.

Breathing,

Being able to move your body,

A good meal,

Laughing,

Sharing,

Playing,

Dancing,

Reading,

Do you want me to continue the list forever?

I could.

Humanity is at a turning point.

Will it turn away from its innate wisdom and revert back to old,

Selfish,

Destructive habits?

Or will it make the changes that are expected,

Required,

Necessary?

Will humanity embrace its capacity for creation,

Solidarity,

Respect of life in all its forms?

Or will it fail once again at grasping its responsibility and its choice?

There is no turning back.

There is no denying the suffering of millions,

Billions of poor,

Sick,

Hungry and the exploitation of human beings,

Animals and land alike for a few privileged ones.

The earth needs a complete change in the way it is approached and dealt with.

The earth needs your love and respect.

Words are no longer enough which is why disasters happen.

Action is required by every individual.

And that action mostly consists in looking within,

Looking inside you.

Who are you at heart?

What is your desire?

What kind of awakened life do you want to live?

What is your connection to other beings?

What is your role?

What is your responsibility?

What is your choice?

It all boils down to choice and inner freedom.

Who do you choose to incarnate?

Who do you remember you truly are?

What is your purpose on this planet?

So much of what I have been thinking & feeling. This is our chance to make better choices going forward in order to not only benefit us as humans but all living things & the planet. This collective reset is a time to reflect on how we can make things better now & for future generations. Wonderful words & questions to ponder.

Thank you for sharing this unfortunate but honest perspective on the state of humanity. We have put ourselves and our planet on an unsustainable trajectory. The planet has been calling (pleading) to us time and again. Will we take this opportunity to begin healing and increasing our consciousness, individually and globally? I think we will and I feel hopeful. Namaste. πŸ’–πŸŒŸπŸ™πŸŒŽ
