Your writing reminds me of the Rumi quote "“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there."
How I am rising above what is happening in the world is to nurture an equanimity. Recognising the polarities and just saying to myself "And this is how it is". I say it alot and my body sighs each time.
Where can resolution be found to bring lasting peace across the world? - The only I can think of that gives me some level of peace is to continue to do my inner work - to resolve my own inner conflicts and then I project my pain out less. By doing my inner work it extends an invitation for others to do the same and when there builds a critical mass of such folk I am convinced there will be a tipping point into a different level of consciousness.
I always wonder why we are encouraged to be polarized? Where does this polarization idea originate? Have we been blinded to the idea that dancing within all the perspectives is an option? Amongst our hundreds of thousands of years of history have we been taught to grasp polarizing to justify conflict against one another? I'm encouraged and discouraged by our Information Age where we can have access to so many perspectives. I wonder sometimes if polarization is connected to fear porn to keep us stuck in a two dimensional line rather than a three, four, or five dimensional perspective? Would a round table perspective of conversation provide a vortex that changes our energy to contribute to a butterfly effect collectively? We are all pieces of this earth in these human outfits having an opportunity to learn. Whoa and indeed this is a complex school! Maybe we remember that we are all immigrants to this earth and honor the challenge it takes to make it a better place to live. Again I'm just wondering if all that is possible?
Thank you Ann.
