(… this is a work in progress, please forgive the mistakes in grammar & such ;  )

A remedy por favor! A cure for all of that please! … And quick!

Well, if i would be God, i would have a couple of radical ideas & suggestions for humanity.

And the implementation would be absolutely mandatory for every one of you 7.780.694.888 humans on the earth.

No choice whatsoever! :  )

Well, obviously i am not the One, i am just a simple guy living on a Paradise Beach.

But for my own sanity i am doing a lot of meditation, reflection and consideration on the topics of our existence here on Earth.

Considering all those challenges that i contemplated in “What’s Next (3)”, there is obviously no one remedy, no one cure for ll those complex problems facing us in the future.

‘We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them’ – Albert Einstein

In my eyes, it will need a quantum leap in consciousness, individual and collective consciousness to get us unto an altogether new level and perspective of life on the planet Earth.

What could be this new level of consciousness?

It will need to be a global consciousness.

We urgently need to grow up from:

– Ego-centric (me, me, me, mine, my profit, my car(s), my moods, my problems, my opinions, my …)

– Ethno-centric (my lover, my family, my football club, my gang, my tribe, my team, my country, my nation …)

and move on up to a perspective that we could call:

– World-centric (where we see the whole human world as one tribe, one people, independent of color, religion, location, occupation, status, wealth and all the rest that divides us nowadays …)

and even further up to:

– Life-centric (where we see all life on Earth, human, animal, plant & mineral kingdoms as one ecosystem, interdependent and alive as One Organism, every single part fulfilling crucial roles that can not be lost without all the others would be affected.

Well, that’s it in theory.

Now, how could such a quantum leap happen???

I have no idea, honestly ;  )

After working for 30 years with people to further personal development & spiritual growth, i have no idea. I came to the conclusion that the willingness to grow voluntarily is not very widespread in people. Usually growth & transformation is happening when the pain is big & unbearable and the crisis is even bigger.

Ok, we have a big enough crisis at hand, so maybe …

~~~

On the very individual and personal level i think there are many, many, many individuals, many projects and organizations right now working hard to upgrade our collective consciousness with new and enlightened ideas, lots of enthusiasm and sweat and heart & soul.

The YOUTH is on the move and not willing anymore to shut up and wait until its their turn.

They are ANGRY!

And most of all: WOMEN are claiming places of power and infuse the stagnant systems with much needed feminine goddess energy, with social consciousness, intuitive understanding, with care and love – qualities that are already visible wherever women are in charge :  )

So, the remedies that i can see are rather not on the level of the problems, there are many other experts who are much smarter than me to talk at length about all of that.

At the end of my writing i will add a number of links to organizations that are dedicated to address those problems.

The remedies that i can see are rather concerning our attitudes, our worldview and the level of consciousness that we live in.

These are things we have immediate power over.

We can change our attitudes thru insight and discipline.

We can change our philosophy of life thru honest self-observation, thru study of wisdom teachings, thru introspection and meditation.

And we need no politicians and not even any guru to do that.

Well, sometimes it helps to have a guide or at least a guidebook ;  )

~~~

Here are some “new” attitudes and activities that i would see as remedies, if not as cures.
