"We have talked quite a bit about how things are getting, I think everyone with two functional neurons, can recognize that things are quite complicated, more than complicated, it's crazy. It is unlikely that they will get better, most likely they will get worse, we see clear signs of totalitarianism all over the world, in some countries more than in others we see signs of global economic deterioration, caused by quarantines and planetary changes that, of course, the world economic forum wants to take advantage of for its great reset.
The climate is also breaking records every day and affecting more people, as we have seen recently in China, for example, as we have also seen recently in Germany and Belgium.
We see signs of social deterioration, further polarization, we are becoming more and more divided. Do not be fooled, this is by design.
We see transcendental principles and values almost forgotten in the face of the terror provoked by those behind all this madness; we also see individual deterioration, depression and anxiety have skyrocketed as we are forced to remain isolated, to obey without questioning, to turn off our common sense and critical thinking, to accept measures that violate our most basic rights and, you may say, "we already know things are bad". What can be done? Do we sit back and wait for the system to collapse on its own?
Well. yes and no.
To begin with, we need to be aware that the world is not going to change, that's just the way things are, that's the way it happened to us; that in itself puts your feet on the ground and allows you to see things more clearly. It is like seeing the terror of the situation clearly, but, after that understanding, after seeing things without the veil of wishful thinking, we can realize that the only thing we can do in a practical way, first of all, is to change ourselves, to improve ourselves.
There are still things we need to learn, things we need to heal and, very importantly, principles and values to embody during complicated times. The same ones that are missing out there: love for truth and knowledge, justice, love and acceptance, awareness.
It is well said that crises reveal the true nature of people and I think it is clear that we need people who embody positive principles and values in difficult times, without anticipation of anything, I think that is very important.
Do it because it is right in our context and that's it; I also think it is very important to make sense of the crisis, of suffering, during difficult times. Let us remember great existentialist thinkers like Victor Frankl, for example, who spoke precisely about embodying principles, finding the meaning and the lessons also behind the crises in complicated times and understanding them, really understanding them with our whole being.
That is what really allows us to move forward during difficult times. It is also important to understand our individual and collective lessons, it is part of finding this meaning.
All this is what will prevent us from letting ourselves be dragged down by fear, from falling into despair, into hopelessness, into passive pessimism.
The balance we need to achieve is complicated, because, on the one hand, we need to remain attentive to reality, pay attention to the signs, as we have said, see reality as it is, which is what we continue to try to facilitate with these programs for example, and, at the same time, not allow ourselves to be dragged by fear and take charge of working on our own problems.
It is very complicated to try to embody our principles, which we were talking about. Many of us also feel attracted to rebel, to protest, to do something out there, it is a very valid feeling seeing the terror of the situation. But, as we have already commented, the most appropriate way to rebel or to fight is to start with ourselves, it is the inner work, that is, "I do not agree with the lies, the manipulation, the nihilism, the lack of principles and values out there"...Well, then start with yourself.
Let us act with conscience, knowing how our actions affect our life and that of those around us. For now there is nothing to do "out there", so to speak, is to wait strategically while we observe and deal with our own life lessons and possibly later, who knows, something can be done, rebuild something like it again, without any kind of anticipation. It is extremely important to work on our own emotional and psychological issues, because if things get more and more complicated, we need functional humans, not burdens. Human beings who know how to do their best in their own life context. People who can use their skills and creativity to be helpful if needed, of course, there are other things that can be done from a practical point of view, we'll talk about it later, because I don't know, preparing from an economic point of view, preparing our food, preserving, storing food, even creating local support networks (We had already talked about that out there, in some program) if possible and if your own context needs it.
The point is that, if things get very complicated, it is not just surviving to survive. It is not survival, to be useful we need meaning and purpose in our lives in difficult times.
Be responsible, that is, I respond according to my knowledge and what I observe out there.
