I sense we must heal our trauma around loss, which keeps us trapped in "acquiring" and "owning" to begin the next layer of integration you speak of, but/and I feel the unraveling beginning. Thank you for shining the light.
It means everything to know that these words are reaching someone like you, Elizabeth, who not only gets it but adds to it. It is very true that how much of what we chase or cling to is really a response to something we couldn't bear to lose or never got the chance to grieve about. Thank you for being the unwavering voice within the LinkedIn community as well. It is much needed.
I always look forward to your pieces. Thank you for this; it was beautiful. I second the recommendation of The Act of Killing. Watching that opened my eyes in a lot of different ways and honestly really acted as a gateway for me.
Thank you so much, Lauren. Makes me very happy to hear that. I grew up not realising just how many uncomfortable truths were buried beneath the surface of what we were taught. And denial is a concept I only recently started to explore so I loved Joshua Oppenheimer's approach and process to capture it all in such a style. So human and so raw. I think it took a lot from the filmmaker himself to ensure that those involved didn't feel 'deceived' watching the final cut. I read that Anwar cried and said that this is the film he expected. That it's an honest film and will always remain loyal to it. So we're seeing someone's consciousness developing through the making of this incredible documentary.
Unconditional Love, Compassionate Empathy and Creative Genius is what is missing. Because they destroy creativity in education. They Domesticate us into a 2D mindset.
The trifecta of genius are what we are born with. By breaking apart of our intelligence in education they push most to extremes of their cognitive and somatic stamina at the expense of our creativity.
Those who are the outliers in creativity are simply broken. We know genius dies in our modern system. Well this is why. We do not educate we domesticate. Our system are parasitic. Parasites do not grow they destroy. This is exactly what 2D systems do. They withdraw from the present they destroy the future. They murder their hosts.
If you want to be happy and healthy you must learn to be whole. 2D divides. 3D teaches us to create, heal and find our whole. Its a simple change. But I no one will do it. Because most have been fragmented in their intelligence and only know how to break others and things apart. Not put them back together. Not heal.
I'm with you there. Modern systems have fractured so much of what makes us human. But I think the fact that so many of us feel this fracture so painfully is also a sign that something deeper is waking up... or at least, the collective consciousness is gaining momentum.
I don't think wholeness can be granted by anyone or any system. It has to be something you want enough to take it for yourself. And it seems the only way people will want it enough is for them to experience pain and discomfort - so much so that they want to get out of it. But modern comfort is so easy to come by nowadays, and people are choosing to skip the inconvenience altogether. But it's in the inconvenience that makes us question.
The old systems still dominate but I think they're also cracking. Or that the cracks are becoming more transparent for most of us to see..... if we're willing be curious and care enough to ask and investigate for ourselves. Even this conversation we're having is a 'crack'.... for the people who still feel, want to heal, and love deeply still.
We also have to stand for those who don't understand.
Amazing article - thank you. This quote "the absence of emotional connection and care is a more potent negation of love than active hatred" is so powerful and so frozen in our ability to feel and be a part of life. I love you article and at the same time - feel called to know the other side which does feel like our groundedness and embodiment in love. There is a flow which fuels us and helps us to stay risen above old beliefs and structures in our lives. Thank you again - I am on an intense self healing journey from so many angles and you helped remind me again - the reason why I am pulled to do what I am doing is out of love for myself and humanity - so that I can stand on my own two feet and be a stable source of love. Wonderful. This is the first time I read your work, but I will follow you now. Bravo.
Jeffrey, it means a lot that you felt the duality I was trying to express. For me, it works in stages. There's the acknowledgment of pain, the working through of the pain, and then embracing the pain that's part of you. Often times, we think it's 'easier' to numb the pain with distractions but I think it's actually the feeling part that makes you a stronger person. Like how you've captured it "a flow which fuels us to stay risen above old beliefs and structures". I'm honoured that this piece resonated with you. It takes real courage and so much more to stay in the flow when people within the old structures "pull" at us. So much love and respect to you. Very happy you found your way to this piece :)
Another award-winning observation, Chusana
