The World needs Healing, we need Healing.

And how I love to get the hell out of here and be in the forest somewhere helping yet another village grow more organic food while I keep my body and mind healthy doing it. I made a commitment however to myself also to be by my daughter's side in these days when she still needs my moral and physical support and to the cat that I had adopted for her. In essence I am stuck fo a while in this situation which is really not too bad but still very constraining for one who loves to wander and soak in the outdoor especially the rustic life of the rural areas. I am beginning to find the City too negative to live in, it is manifesting too much negative vibes in the form of racial bigotry and lack of sensitivity towards each  other; in short is is becoming a dog eat dog life in the City. Perhaps i am the one being overly sensitive about it all, perhaps I should make greater effort towards looking within than without. Yes it is easier said than done as there is so much distraction that pulls the mind towards what is happening out there and nothing escapes the mind's eye to project upon and add on to what it sees.

This is an age old phenomena that everyone has to live with, the mind is here to be with us like our shadow, inescapable. I tried to understand this phenomena is every possible way that i can, through meditation, yoga, reading, listening to and prayers, but nothing can hold the mind back although a few can manage to slow it down to almost a moment of silence. The mind is one of God's gift to man that he may transcend the animal realm and become the Khalifah or Guardian of the phenomenal world, or so it is said. However how we have employed the mind or the mind has eluded us is, apparent in the outcome of the state of our existence that is deceased with Greed, Hate and Ignorance, how has this come to be. Where did we go wrong in our charge to keep this Planet a better place for those yet to come? Our legacy today is not a cause to be proud of, this so called life we have lived and are leaving behind is no a model of a life that our future generation can emulate and be proud of; it is deceased and we are the cancer virus that is causing this disease. 

Science and technology has helped us to understand and give us tools to work with and the philosophers and religious teachers are hammering at our door for us to wake up before it is too late. Sadly it seems we are sinking deeper and deeper into a state of unconsciousness, living our lives in limbo making believe what is impermanent and transient for that which is everlasting and eternal. We seem oblivious to our own self destruction as we inch our ways towards so called progress and material affluence, we pursue wealth and happiness in the form of money and creature comforts, such as fancy cars and exorbitant homes. We neglect to care for our environment often assuming that others will care for it instead. We rob and pillage what we can in the most clandestine ways we can just to stay ahead of others and call it success. We most of us have become so deeply corrupted in our ways that we often do not even recognize ourselves doing so...and we pray five time a day, we go to the church every Sunday and to the temples to cleanse our souls and listen Satsangs to better understand who we truly are.

The planet is heating up fast all over causing death tolls in some countries while a 7 point earthquake hit Indonesia for the second time in a a few days causing 80 odd people dead and so it goes with wildfires lighting up in many areas and flash floods causing damages to land and property; yet we are still living like a bunch of sheep sleep walking to the slaughter house. The latest in Chicago is that there has been shootings and killings of teenagers mostly that has reached worrying numbers and the Gaza Strip is still s hell hole of human suffering as with Syria and the rest of the insane world. Anything to do with me and you? Nope, we can pretend like all is well and that our lives goes on as it does day in day out so long as we steer away from getting involved. We are well prepared at living in denial, we only see life as we choose to see it and we hide what is negative and detrimental to our well being, so long as it happens elsewhere and to someone else.

The World needs healing, We need healing.
