I so completely, deeply resonate and agree with this. So much of what you’ve expressed here is at the heart of our intentions in how Seth and I designed the Practical Wisdom Frameworks in EMUNAH, and as you explore them I wholeheartedly welcome your reflections and any suggestions you may have coming from this place of discernment and potential.
I truly feel electrified with excitement and resonance with how you’re articulating this, and am so grateful to be weaving with you.
Thank you! Your letter reassures my feelings about the problematic nature of tool-creation and solution-oriented activism. "Solutions aren't the answer" strikes a chord for me. Solutions relate to problems. The term "aspiration" is what I use as a better alternative whenever I enter "let's define all the problems in the room"-spaces.
As I develop a visualization tool for relational systems rooted in ecosystem metaphors, I keep running against this point: The tool is worth little without a human practice connected to our source/essence and the magic that wants to emerge (potentially eased with my project).
Your words will help me stay clear of the pitfalls so commonly found in the tool-creation/engineering field and focus on the integrative aspects of consciousness-raising.
All of this is somewhat of a world jumble for me. I am glad to have your newsletter!
One thing you cant hide is the cripple inside - John Lennon.
Such is an obvious truism.
Everyone, without exception dramatizes their level of psycho-physical maturity or immaturity on to the world stage. That is why things are always so dread fully awful.
What kind of psycho-physical maturity does the "beautiful bombs" Orange Oaf dramatize on to the world stage?
And most of his there-are-thousands-of-suckers-born-every-minute enthusiastic MAGA cultists. The Beavis & Butthead brigade
A modified quote from a 1963 book by Jules Henry titled Culture Against Man
In Western culture today one must make a distinction between the culture of life and the "culture" of death. In the minds of most people science has become synonymous with destructive weapons, i.e. with death ... where is the culture of life?
The culture of life resides in all those people who, inarticulate, frightened, and confused, are wondering "where will it all end". Thus the forces of death are confident and organized while the forces of life - the people who long for peace and sanity - are for the most part, scattered, inarticulate, and wooly-minded. overwhelmed by their own culturally inculcated impotence.
Death struts about the house while LIFE cowers in the corner.
The situation is muchly more worse by many degrees 60 years later!
A thoughtful read, thank you for sharing enlightening thoughts.
Soul is our eternal source of consciousness; it's the message, and energy is the messenger. Our human entity is the body that's been bestowed the the gift of transforming the invisible to visible.
