What a powerful article. I love how I was taken on a journey of being shown the bridge between the battles we face within the mind and how that translates to the collective mind at large.
The truth is that the more we can make these connections that our external world and all of the chaos out there is nothing more than an invitation to settle that same chaos within our own mind, the sooner that external chaos at the collective level will dissipate.
Anyone who fully understands that inner shadow and have transmuted it, will not feel pulled emotionally by events and conditions outside because there is an integration that occurs, a forgiveness and acceptance of nature. You expressed to me previously that energy distribution is important to be mindful of, and I want to reciprocate that sentiment by enforcing the idea that any energy expelled toward changing someone else, or changing the outside environment without having that full acceptance of them, is energy that should be used for integration.
Thank you so much for writing this. It’s such an important message for those who are at the precipice of spiritual transformation and need only that tiny nudge to jump to a new future of growth, while holding space for others to simply be on the journey they’re on.
That’s unconditional love, and we can practice it with ourselves every minute of the day <3
This is an important message that I desperately need not just to learn, but to internalize and incorporate into my daily, hourly behavior. Still working on it.
I used to be solely focused on what has been and is as opposed to what could be. One of the biggest and hardest things I had to overcome was a long-running anti-human sentiment full of anger and disdain for the state of the world (particularly environment). How could I help a civilization I held in contempt? How would my anger and depression add anything positive? My whole perspective had to change before I could let go of that. And even now, it takes some reminding from time to time ;)
Wholeheartedly agree. I also like Ernesto van Pebourgh’s reframing of metacrisis as metamorphosis in Embracing the Metacrisis.
“This Metacrisis, a profound metamorphosis in progress, calls us to face the unknown with courage and presence. It is a journey that demands we step into the gift of uncertainty, living fully in the present moment. Only by accepting this uncertainty and recognizing the profound transformation underway can we unlock the potential for reconciliation and healing that our world so desperately needs.”
Thank you Roger. That was a beautiful and powerful essay. I especially loved what he said here, as I think it captures the crux of many's worldview..."The story of separation frames us as isolated, discrete individuals in an objective universe of force and mass, atoms and void. This narrative, deeply embedded in our consciousness, has led us to perceive ourselves as fundamentally separate from each other, from nature, and even from our true selves. We have come to believe in the myth of isolation, seeing ourselves as entities that must compete, dominate, and control. This perception of separation drives us to exploit and conquer, turning nature and human relationships into commodities, all the while ignoring the intricate web of life that inherently connects and sustains us."

Suffering comes from resistance to what is.
