“A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive.” (1945)
So, I watched this film,--Albert Einstein
I AM
by director of Ace Ventura and other big-budget comedies,
Tom Shadyac
and I was like,
"YES! Finally.
Someone was willing to bee brave and share a truth
that I have been feeling for far too long now."
WE ARE MENTALLY ILL, YA'LL!!!
Greed and competition have taken hold as THE story of our people, yet it's a fabricated lie.
We are born to live cooperatively, to connect and to care for one another in supportive community. All is connected to everything else and our hearts beat, beat, beating in our chests is the primary source of communication within these human bodies. You are not separate or distinct.
In fact, you can not separate yourself from the rest of LIFE - this is Universal Law.
Like Tom, who finally woke up and realized that his multi-million, Pasadena spread,
private jets and other fancy toys, didn't make him any happier - especially in light of the fact that he was alone and sharing them with no one and, in fact, all of it only added to what's wrong with our world - I too am veering off course.
This ship is headed for a collision.
So, I am pulling off,
choosing to embody LOVE
and all that is right with this world.
I AM.
“You cannot solve a problem from the same consciousness that created it.
You must learn to see the world anew.” --Albert Einstein
