“Think about where you are now in your life; where the world/your country is, those you love, things you love and are important to you — how everything stands at this moment. Then think about Change, Transition — the situation as it is right now and how we got here; how things have changed and developed; how they will (should or could) move forward; how you feel about the future; or what you would like to see.”

Read this recently,

This planet is for transformations, evolutions and the process of learning. Is not to settle in a peace place. This place will always find a way to find a conflict to teach you something. Utopia is a dream and it’ll always be a dream. We are not here to help humanity to find peace, we are here to help the planet to find harmony(with conflicts). Trying to find the movement that allows conflicts to become a part of solution.

As you can see, self-help is a category error, it’s subjugation of every other possible self, it’s a lie that it helps us out. It’s just a vast privatization of stress, the idea that you have to manage the hours of the day, the rumblings of your stomach, and the constant fear of death, all on your own. Then it’s the commodification of all that worry into bits of plastic and metal and data that opiate you only briefly and then leave you craving more. The only thing self-help gets right is the name, which in itself contains a contradiction. Take its old-timey analog, ‘picking yourself up by your bootraps’. It’s physically impossible, yet given out as very sage advice, and is the basis of almost all governance and public policy. And it’s just a contradiction. So forget the solution for a minute (we’ll get to that). We’ve got the problem all wrong.

Attachment to the self is the root of suffering, not the way out
