In a sense, our culture, our society is dissolving. We are collectively entering the chrysalis, and structures we have come to rely on and identify with are breaking down. We are in the cocoon and we don’t know what the next phase will be like. Learning to surrender to the unknown in our own lives is essential to our collective learning to move through this time of faster and faster change, disruption, and breakdown. -- Buddhist teacher Kaira Jewel Lingo
Whoa! What a gift! That paragraph is describing us and our inner life today...it gives us hope, allays our fears, rights us.
Breaking it down: In a sense, our culture, our society is dissolving. To me that reads, In a sense, my very self...my mind...is dissolving.
Then comes, We are collectively entering the chrysalis, and structures we have come to rely on and identify with are breaking down. We are in the cocoon and we don’t know what the next phase will be like. To me: We are feeling all alone and terrified of the oncoming unknown.
Comes the Answer: Learning to surrender to the unknown in our own lives is essential to our collective learning to move through this time of faster and faster change, disruption, and breakdown. To me: We need to give over, give up, give in to the scary unknown....it is not just right, it is essential to our collective learning to move through this time of faster and faster change, disruption, and breakdown.
Ah, this is all about what our hardest lesson taught us: God's will, God's way is the opposite of the reasoning mind's best thinking...that is the blessing.
God does not live in the reasoning mind only. There is nowhere that God does not live...protecting, enwrapping, loving...God lives. Period.
Thank you.
