Re: Cross Cultural Psychology
Turn off the internal electric fence. A bond agent for social consciousness you are not.
The mind is the vampire that you describe not the society where the "minds" believe in their
own victimhood. It is not external, rather it's an inside job...
Clear awareness, clean as sunlight, pure, untouchable, untouched,
that stuff is power itself, and that power is two things that are awesome beyond measure:
#1. Being present without any thoughts, no creeds, no beliefs, values or affiliations, just aware.
Not really that easy to do at first but not that hard either. This is the "kriptonite" to the devil because, simply, an illusion or lie needs an illusion or lie to play off of. If there is nothing to catch on then there is nothing to fake
...
Then #2, the interesting part, the part where the rubber meets the road
. From clear awareness focus on something that matters to you. Only you can know what this is but usually it has to do with all the things that one would like to accomplish if they could just get enough time or money, free the mind or heal the body...
It may have to do with art but could be family or invention or compassionate action or all of the above; everybody knows what they need to do but don't like to admit it because we have been trained away from this by authorities that shouldn't be and who don't have our best interest in mind.
When action comes from clear awareness this is a force of inspiration to be reckoned with because
in the most basic sense you can't stop love in action.
