What I'm struggling with is what to do about it. Should we 'ignore and rise above' the 'bad' that we see, only concentrate on the good? Will that be the answer to the world's problems? I am quite happy with the idea that we should 'improve' ourselves, it's really all that we can do. We never see people like Rupert Spira, Eckhart Tolle and many others protesting about the many things that they might.
Still we see the evidence in nde's that our choices matter! Good and bad appear to be important, real 'things' ?
I think it's largely about the choices we make. That's why I wrote a book titled Choices: One Man's Spiritual Journey, about my journey since my stroke in 2011.
It's really complex, yet the answers probably quite simple. I am finding the journey difficult, challenging, yet interesting, I think I have travelled a long way.
I'm having trouble figuring out that fine line (between equanimity and labeling) to walk as well.
I guess the fact that it is being thought about, and talked about is a sign of progress in us all.
When you figure it out,,, let me know..
Hey Psssst. Any thoughts/suggestions about this balancing act?
