I'm here now. Come have a talk if you wish!

Hello friends, I've been out in the wilderness for a long while. But I have returned! Rested, rejuvenated, and ready for what's next.

If you have any questions, or have anything you would like to talk about, feel free! This a peaceful, protected space.

Sure seems to be a lot going on in the world. Ever wonder what some of the man made distractions are taking attention away from?

Perhaps the most damaging aspect of wide spread "distraction" is the attention it takes away from the "self". Not self in terms of ego or self identification, but the nature of what we are and how we relate to the reality we find ourselves in.

A lot of control would be lost if/when the attention of humanity at large is turned inward. As apposed to focusing on outward "surface" effects and appearances.

I agree. Well said.

Divide and conquer and not allow the heart, soul and mind to be free to grow and experience the connection of the all.

I believe a part of this, is if humanity were to stop and think and look within or in the mirror, they would have to take accountability for their actions or lack thereof as both individuals and a species.

They are afraid to do that, which implies a knowing guilt of crimes committed against their fellow man, the animal kingdom, the planet and ultimately themselves as well.

This is why so many would not accept the belief of a more advanced alien race or a human god in the flesh, anyone that could or would hold them to a higher standard and accountable for their behavior is their greatest fear, imo.

Looking in the mirror can be a painful experience for many, but in a way it's essential. I know ive had many times during my life that I couldn't bear to look at myself, but like a child refusing to let a dentist extract a rotten tooth, sometimes we fear and fight what can cure us.

I feel there's a fear of the unknown that comes into play also, if all someone has ever known is the effect, how can you convince them of the cause?

I'm getting too esoteric lol. But really, there is change. It's undeniable at this point, I just hope I see the day when we can all live moment to moment, without the weights of a hundred ills and wrongdoings clanging behind us.
