An inside out upside down world

This planet is beauty. The way in which we humans have chose to live on it in recent years is sheer folly. Inside down and upside out.
All our core beliefs based on fear. It is not our fault or something to repent for, it was how we were brought up. Fear, Fear, Fear. Imprinted into all actions, thoughts, ideas. Fear. Fear of all that we see as being outside of us. Fear. Fear of love. We imagine some sort of seperation between all that is within us and the external world; and so we create our armour, protection : walls, barriers, safety nets, facades; anything and everything we can to stop any eventuality of pain, suffering, offense, embarrassment. All for this Fear. Fear of what? Fear of hate? Once we put up these barriers not only do we block out the hate, but then we also stop the natural flow of Love, both in and out.

For now this is all ok, it is completely normal, it's what we're brought up with. Our parents telling us not to do things for fear of hurt, punishment, isolation,...
School, making us all obey for fear of punishment. In turn making us all the same, all normal, no one wants to be below average, and no one wants to stand out and excel, we all just want to be the same, to fit in. For fear of not fitting in.

The truth is nobody is normal, nobody is average, nobody is below average.
We are all special, we are all unique, we are all Love.

Now that we are aware of the root of this Fear, and that it's not our fault, it is time to get actively involved in our own upbringing. It is not ok to just blame our caretakers and let things be, for neither was it their fault as they were brought up in the exact same way. No longer are we innocent children, unaware of reality, now we are mature, with access to infinite knowledge. It is up to us to provide ourselves with the Love that is ours by birthright. It is up to us to take responsibility for ourselves, thoughts, and actions. It is up to us to bring ourselves up.

So lets bring down thes barriers we've created, to separate us, tell us we're all different, for this is but an illusion. We are all the same, we are all one. We all originated from the same source, we all are the source, just different pieces of the same puzzle. So lets embrace each other and be whole again. Paint the picture whole. Have no Fear of hate for it is but the fear of Love; and Love will always outshine hate.

Light a candle in a dark room and the whole room lights up, bring a box full of darkness into a well lit room and the room will always remain bright. Unless the light source breaks. So never let go of that love.

Spirituality - The cure to depression in the western society

In this western society, the view we take of life is a depressed one.
The three fundamental beliefs about the essence of us humans are the following:
-Human life is the result of pure chance. A coincidence.
-We live in a universe we know nothing of, completely external to us, disconnected,
-We come from nothingness and will return to nothingness when we die.

Pointed out so clearly I can't help but laugh when I see this statements.

These symptoms are all too similar to those of depression as described by Aaron Beck:
-"I am a worthless person."
-"The world is an inhospitable place."
-"My past is tragedy; my future is hopeless."

I believe it is time to change these basic views and accept that we are spiritual beings living a human experience. We have some form of consciousness that isn't physical and must exist separate from our physical human form. We are one with this planet interconnected and intertwined with it, and are completely capable of living in harmony with it.

The most accepted definition of spirituality is that it is something that people feel, believe in, follow, that gives those who believe a greater quality of life. A happier life experience. It's completely natural. Our essence. Calling out to every single one of us. So lets stop fighting it and welcome it in with open arms.

Lets erase fear and doubt from the hearts of the people. Lets open our arms and embrace this planet, Gaia. Lets stop it's destruction. Let's stop the war. Let's stop the pollution. Let go of all this pain and hurt, and let us be one.

In other words.

Lets love. For love is all we are.

Perception. What are we actually seeing?

There is so much distance between what is physically outside there: an object, a person, animal, plant, mineral, spec of dust, whatever; and us perceiving it: our brain giving us information about this object, what it is and that it's there. Perception. Tainted with our ideas, emotions, thoughts, opinions; preconceptions, ours and those of others. Preconceptions of how things usually are, how things should be, how things shouldn't be, what exists, what doesn't exist, what's possible, what's impossible, what we like, what we don't like, and so much more.

Everything we percieve travels and morphs during perception, so that when our brain eventually registers it and gives us information on what we're seeing, it no longer is the object or situation that exists out there on its own without us perceiving it.
