Goals

Is there a goal in exponential uncapped growth?What is the objective?

Is this world speeding up? I know people rush around, especially in cars between 4 and 6 PM, hangry hours. I know there is more and more breaking news and maybe the air is vibrating more with all the transmissions and upgrades.

But has the sunlight sped its projection to warm your shoulder? Have the waves on the shore started stepping over each other to get to shore first? Are scientists scrambling to calculate the next eclipse because the phases of the moon have sped up? No! And due to exponential growth, nature’s normal native proliferation of living organisms seems to have slowed. And the weather, that’s up in the air. Or is it? The only thing I see speeding up is what comes to us through the screens. Yes, the screens that show us what’s happening, how the world is?

Remember this:

The environment will predict the outcome. The environment shapes the being. Mammalian beings operate on an emotional level. The emotions instill the behavior.

What does it feel like to participate with the screen, in any form? And what does it feel like to participate with a group of people sharing a goal? Could be anything from birdwatching to having a nice meal.

See my point is, the screen mimics real participation; you get some, but you hardly move. And notice how you feel from the content. We are shiny pisoelectric liqiuid crystal beings who are viscerally active, and that viscera is connected to our emotions. The nuances and surprises of natural communication give us health. Our emotions flow with our waving arms, laughter, smiles and even a glare. We need the compression of engagement and relaxation of quiet moments. We undulate in a fashion just like nature and that can be seen in our first inhale, and last exhale.

I use yoga to help balance back to a natural rhythm. Yoga means connection, union with the origin. Our origins appear through natural processes. Your lineage for example - was there a goal in that? All those bodies living and dying, then here’s you, looking a bit like them. That’s why when one begins a path to find more ease and clarity one makes choices that bring resonance on a more parasympathetic feeling level. So how to find more freedom and ease?

Be careful of what you allow in your mind.

Is it so important if you believe some issue one way or the other? How does it make you feel, and how much time do you spend in it, on it, etc.?

Does it make you calmer, clearer, stronger, more connected?

Or does it make you reactive, confused, divided, and exhausted?

You see, fighting the changes and cacophony of the world will burn one out, quick. Yet at the same time we are connected to it, and it’s going to carry us down its stream no matter what. But you still have the choice no matter how small to choose to do the things that make you…

Calmer

Clearer

Stronger

Connecting to the process of life rather than the goal.
