Hmmmm...this poece motivates me to go to the local planning commission and zoning board meetings..and ask

" What ails thee..dear commissioners and board members?"

The mess these people make of rural areas after a developer/ builder approaches them with how they can grow their tax base to be able to get all the updated stuff that a " progressive" community should have..etc. Throw in the Chamber of Commerce's work and many quiet, beautiful rural areas are laid to waste.

I had so much come up when reading your last post about who is actually running the world? Just like Geronimo stated..with all the land..why can't two races share it? The area I am in..NE Tennessee...many still know how to garden..carve..create and make many useful products from out of scraps. Very resourceful people..and the walking cancer cells found it...think of the great seal of agriculture & commerce.

First cut many trees down..

Plant crops for a century or more till soils are depleted and or filled with junk fertilizers. Then sell lands to developers..and commerce booms.and poliutions grow enormously and the rotting begins again...I read all of Robert Johnson's books..He..She...We..Ecstasy

The question begs to be asked daily to the inner rotted space within the human being..only when enough of us constantly clean up our inner messes will the outer messes disappear. And just because we have momentous break throughs does not mean we stop doing the laundry.

However...if another type of intelligence is running the show..will an effort to heal the wound make any difference at all?

My theory is that it doesnt need to make a difference, because its about your redemption at the end of the day, not the world‘s. And, if you want to deepen the wormhole, the world is your projection

"The most important foundation is self-observation. Before trying to heal, fix, change, or analyze anything, one must learn to observe oneself as one would observe another person. This means noticing thoughts, feelings, impulses, desires, reactions, and beliefs as they arise, without immediately identifying with them or acting them out. Establishing this impartial inner witness is the true starting point.

Over time, this builds inner unity, spiritual strength, and genuine discernment grounded in true intuition and supersensible perception, rather than merely intellectual knowledge, which is very limited. This embodied state, in connection with the true Self, is the ultimate protection against any adversarial forces.

The most important thing is cultivating your own embodiment and alignment with the Divine. The more regulated, grounded, and attuned you are, the more naturally you become a supportive influence on others, without forcing anything."

Quotes from the text that spoke to me as I was reading:

☀️between speaking to help and speaking to be right

🌙A modern quest is usually sold as a flight to Peru or a retreat in Bali.

☀️quoting my studies to strangers had nothing to do with their pain. It was about mine, the itch of being right and not being heard. And I always knew how the conversation would end before I opened my mouth. That breaks both of Wolfram’s rules. Parzival failed by keeping quiet out of good manners. I failed the other way, by speaking out of pride. Neither one heals anybody.

🌙And a new way of talking about the future changes how the present looks.

☀️The payoff is almost always the pleasure of being right. The cost is everything else.

🌙Jean Houston:

The woundings will continue, sometimes relentlessly, apparently meaninglessly, until you agree to wake up.

I’m reminded of the Inner Work in Energy Medicine practices: Yoga, Shamanic Medicine, etc.

💖☀️🙏🌙❤️‍🩹
