Is Our World Broken?

Is our world really broken right now? Sometimes I think yes, other times I feel like it’s exactly what it would be given how we are thinking and being as a species. It’s playing out in all the ways you expect from a disconnected and separate society.

Since I was a kid I felt there was something ‘off’ about the world. Corruption, bad design, problems we can’t seem to fix like hunger and thirst. Why? Why do we have all of this?

While narratives often point to one political side or another, I don’t think this is the case – it’s the way our entire system functions at its core.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Think about this for a second, is this corruption rising up to see so we can vote for different politicians? Or is it coming to light so we can question what type of thinking creates the world we have today?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We have been trained towards a way of thinking that’s solely based on disconnection and domination. In that, we believe we are competitive animals needing to harm one another to survive, as opposed to realizing we are simply trained to operate this way, and so our societal systems reflect that.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

For a second, suspend what your mind says, tap into your heart with some quiet breaths on your own. What world does your heart see? What does it feel like we are capable of? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Again, let the mind’s stories subside, the mind only knows the world it has been programmed to see… but there is something deeper… what do you see?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

At some point we have to stop legitimizing the world we have been trained to accept, and instead begin a movement and conversation around what is TRULY possible, beyond the limitations we have created today.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If you’re not willing to think this way, how will others? Then how will things change?

I believe a world where we can thrive is possible, it’s why I just started this website. But I think we need to wake up from our robotic programming and reconsider what we’re doing.
