Beliefs, CoCreating and the End of the World

We see what we believe. You have to believe it to see it. So go two of the many saws in our meme-drenched world where we attempt to contain bulging astrophysics of materiality with condensed concepts so we can feel better.

About ourselves and our place in a confusing, challenging world. We accept \anything from the exterior world as long as it provides us with a sense of comfort and control.

Such as the memes above. Here’s the trick—those memes work. Not just words, the truth of those memes and our material world wrap up best by Carl Jung, “Who looks without, dreams; who looks within wakes.”

We run ourselves into the physical wall of the world by committing every ounce of our precious human life to attaining, to perfecting, to accepting flaws about, to discussing and dissecting our experience in the material world. That’s the big flaw.

Material world, and by that I mean every bit of your physical life as you experience it, love affairs, careers, relationships with children, partners, place you live in and on…every bit remains metaphor for what is happening internally.

How do you know this? Try this—next time you discover a knot around someone you formerly cared for (these knots tangle and unravel at a quantum rate in most of our lives) take the knot and from the centre of your chest send it warm and loving energy. No judgement, no remorse, no recriminations for its short-comings or yours. Just love.
