Racism has its ends and beginnings in me
The ‘Luxury of obliviousness,’ is "The freedom to live unaware of what you’re participating in and how and with what effect"
No one is free while anyone is in chains.
Yes, it is true that who you are at your core is already free
Yes it is true that there there is just this, just an alphabet, re-arranged many times, yes... It is good to know that you are the timeless nature underneath all appearances.
and then....
Include your body- Breathe, breathe again
AND THEN GET THE FUCK UP AND SET ABOUT BEING THE CHANGE- NOW!
Here's a radical approach to 'Creating your Reality"
CREATE A REALITY WHERE:
You are not locked into your own point of view.
You have friends, therapists, and relationships with people- that are different from you are- and so can point to you where you can learn more about yourself and them by their reflection.
Create a reality where you are changeable- and open to discovering your highest and best, BY listening to the world. and knowing your sovereign heart at the same time- as the same thing.
We don't have to be afraid of circumstances, or be apart from the world we have made. BECAUSE WE'RE NOT!
We're so perfectly here on this tiny, tiny planet.
The call to love that is so epically loud- Is resounding louder than ever.
Have enough black people died, been beaten by terrorized cops, been enslaved and ignored for us to actually hear that we have a problem here?
Here, before we turn away or add other points of view!
RIGHT HERE, LOOK! #sayhername #blacklivesmatter
I choose to 'create a reality' (a.k.a) BE ALIVE IN THE WORLD I'M IN.
by accepting parts of myself that I might not like- and not even identify with.
Because, with the help of my friends (the world, the collective crying heart)
I CAN find where I am that- Whatever you say I am.
I can look and see that I am the source of all suffering and all liberation if my mind is open. We all have this in common.
* I am racist, I am a part of a system that doesn't understand it's privilege,
It is hard to talk about racism in a room of white people, even harder if there's one black person in the room too. uh, oh I don't want to be scary. I am scary, I am oppressive. I am part of the problem.
YES. To All of It.
Invisible chains may be harder to see.
But what is invisible to privilege is visible to those who don't have it-
HERE! we can listen.
"Please tell me your experience my, friend. because your heart is the most important thing in the world to me" IT IS THE WORLD!
I cannot see a future that is anything without this recognition.
Or, more true is that I can. and it's fucking horrible.
The ‘Luxury of obliviousness,’ is "The freedom to live unaware of what you’re participating in and how and with what effect" (A. Jonhson Privelege, Power and Difference)
At the same time what is invisible, not yet manifested in the world is also real is a true seat of connection and innovation and transcendence.
Love, Freedom, innovation, art, peace, co-creation, magic, and the OBVIOUSNESS of harmony.
'Relationship' might just be the only ship that can sail between both visible and invisible worlds- and join disparate worlds. as different, but together
I Hold out my hands, I notice I'm holding the good and bad wolf.
We are connected in a network of vision and skin and blood and bones and space. Our heart is so vast that we can own what hurts.
I can bear it all and enter into a conversation defenseless, naked and alive in the sovereignty of my heart- and see you and yours there- no matter what.
All that you are is here within me, you are revived in the light of the unseen
I am sorry, I love you, I am with you, please forgive me, thank you.
