Everything Is A Metaphor Including Plastic

Everything is metaphor. Think of watching a theatrical play where truth is communicated by the set design and props. The same thing happens in life.

Just like the protagonist in a play, we have to deal with problems that, in our case, illuminate our misunderstandings.

Understanding this point makes it easy to see that the problem of plastic in our bodies reflects our plastic lifestyles and disregard for Mother Nature.

(Spoiler alert: Our bodies are part of Mother Nature, so if we aren't treating Her well, guess what happens to our bodies! )

If we bonded to our hearts, our plastic problem would dissolve, and AI would help rather than hurt humanity.

The ball is in our court. What matters is what each individual does because our societies are made up of individuals. Even if we are disrespectfully called 'consumers' or 'the masses', we can each recover our connection to the Divine and blossom into our full potential here.

You know,

Our souls,

The creator Amma is always speaking to us.

They're always showing us what we're doing.

Okay,

So it's so simple and so big we miss it.

Okay,

So just about the plastics and that they're finding plastic in our bodies.

It's like we're living in a plastic way.

Get it?

I mean,

It's so simple.

Really,

If we bond to our hearts,

The whole problem with plastic would be solved.

We wouldn't be interested in it.

We'd come up with some solution for the contamination.

It would all get solved if we go that way.

And same with AI.

It's sort of like a picture of an ego run amok.

It's like,

You know,

An ego that's listening and responding to the soul can be very kind of helpful,

Like AI could be helpful.

But if it's not connected,

If we're not connected to truth,

If we're not interested in truth,

It's far more likely that AI will run amok.

You see,

I mean,

It's all there just staring us in the face.

And all these problems could be solved by this increased sincerity,

Increased turning to the divine.

And this will solve our personal problems and our social problems,

You know.

And the sad thing is that with our alienated cultures,

We're not bonded.

And Prima Sutta really empathizes with this.

It's scary to bond to truth.

It's scary to actually bond with a teacher as well.

Scary to love,

You guys.

If you've been taught,

If your experience is that it's not safe,

To love,

Then that fear has to be faced as you step forward and bond to your heart or,

You know,

Decide to trust a teacher and let the teacher get close.

Right.

And,

You know,

When I look back,

You know,

All my teachers weren't necessarily sterling quality,

But they actually,

When I got burned by an insincere teacher or just an ignorant teacher,

It was because I was deluded.

You know,

It reflected my delusion,

So I like picked myself up and got more like sincere.
