This weeks Inner Journey Conversation with Annie
Please Consider
While most of us want a better world, we never really look at our own selves and consider how we can achieve this.
We are the problem on mother earth. We are the quagmire of dysfunction, and with that a whole range of indoctrinated human behaviour and drama. We must set our own internal houses in order before we can cooperate and form lasting common unity.
Part of the issue is pointing the finger at everyone else, every politician, and in that painting ourselves in the corner of disempowered victim. That’s what may become our mantra, look at him, he’s this or she’s that. All the while we do this we are not looking deep inside and feeling our own issues, sometimes buried so deep, our response is just knee jerk reactivity.
So this is not a good place to start cooperation and healing between humans, which is what we need to deal with, all the challenges we face.
The Inner Journey Conversation is partly about awareness. Having listened to all those stories I have heard so much insight into being human. I have also heard so much complexity in being human, and its all part of our collective journeys.
I have definitely felt an acceptance of peoples really difficult journeys, fraught with adversity and a whole lot of learned behaviours that exasperated our desire for liberation.
What I’ve been talking about is huge, but to heal the earth it starts with us. To cut through the dysfunction, first we must recognise that this is the big issue on planet earth. I don’t have to prove anything by this rave, but I have for years listened when I have been reactive, and what it is I need to learn about myself.
I also had to unpack so much stuff about my past and about relationships and acceptance of all my emotions within that.To be accepting of our emotional self is a blessing because it is about sharing of the fullness of being human, a tuning into self and others. Freeing ourselves from the dominate collective unconscious is a challenge to be faced. Next time you are standing next to fellow human and seeing their physical self, consider the intangible whole other story that wants its time in the sunshine. It wants its voice heard.
When I hear all these story’s then I connect and actually feel compassion for those who suffered at the hands of parents who often weren’t there to nurture, they were often dealing with their own upbringing which was devoid of nurture.
This rave points to our inextricable link to the big political picture as well.
For a better world and effective interpersonal relationships, I maintain that some of our focus needs to be on our own Inner self. There is no political party that gives interpersonal relationships much importance. I believe this is the foundation of any solid collective.
Please consider, and big thank you to all who have stepped up and done conversations with me. https://ourinnerstories.com.au/home/
