I am exploring life to look at the truth of my behavior and that of others. The cruelty in human actions is so obviously connected to the edited reality we live in, whereby we allow ourselves to feel what is pertaining to our notion of personal survival. This leaves us open to compromising our integrity and compassion for self-interest and gain. I have lots to share in this area and also offer pathways to find strength and personal clarity in all the madness that we must endure on this journey we call life. I have found it very difficult to tolerate a world where cruelty and murder is being contributed to by nearly everyone I meet. It is time we all help each other to evolve beyond these effective but selfish survival pathways that are controlling our existence. I have attempted to expand my existence so it is big enough to handle my own disgust with this world and myself within it… a world where one thing eats another to survive. It is not hard to see the nature of the beast we exist in, so the question is: Can we as a species find a way to exist with purity whilst still living on this planet? Well, that remains to be seen. I do however feel and see the possibility. But we all have some work to do and share to get to this phase. I can see that even compassionate people still live life full of edited stories and their own version of cruelty. So l feel we all need to help each other get honest and real, not just sit around uniting in our own personal crusades…That is beautiful but not enough. It is time to speak and feel with strength and clarity whilst still being a deeply sensitive being. No easy ask but it can be done.
