Seek Unconventional Wisdom

I have been torn of late as to how to respond to my perceived environment and where to focus my energy. Part of me wants to rage against the machine and be part of the “push back” against the concentration of wealth and power. I’m disgusted and angry about what corporations and governments are doing to every living thing, including the planet. I’m angry about the majority of people who don’t care; the apathy and ignorance is maddening.

In spite of my anger, I understand that what I resist, persists. It’s kind of like a “war on terror” that actually creates a persistent terrorist issue. Which is precisely what the cabal want, an persistent endless war that could take them anywhere in the world. “Them damn terrorists could be in any country, therefore we’ll have to protect (read: control) all countries. Perhaps a worldwide government is in order. First, we’ll create regional unions with central control like the European Union and then we’ll just synchronize all the laws and maybe one army, like the UN.”

The compulsion to feel fear and rail against the controllers is strong, but likely, not my best strategy. The other half of me wants to think little about the machine and controllers and focus my energy on what I desire in my life, my family, and my world to become.

Instead of resisting and ensuring the persistence of that undesirable thing I’m feeding energy to; I must find gratitude for what and who I am now. To think instead, about creating something: a song, a painting, a business, a relationship … something benign and nourishing for myself and others.

I guess the point I’m trying to make is to be pro-peace vs. anti-war.

Focus on what you want.

What we focus on, we feed energy to, positive or negative.

So, we need to feel gratitude, be thankful for what we have and envision, ask, and act toward the things we want in our life. The nasties will blow themselves up soon enough and I’ll be dancing around singing, “The witch is dead, the witch is dead.”

Conventional wisdom is often the spun, sanitized, mythological “news” spoon-fed to us by major media. The unconventional wisdom requires an effort to look around and through the pablum thrust in our faces. Seek alternative perspectives and then choose for yourself what “rings true” for you.

Some examples of unconventional wisdom for your enjoyment are listed below.

Thanks for your attention, have fun, and play well together.
