If we have a look at
how CARE is defined as a living word in our world/system – how CARE is
lived/applied – we can see a peculiar thing: it doesn’t really serve us as life.
Examples can be seen
within even the formative years of a child’s life, where care is expressed
through finding ways to ‘keep the child happy’ which is in fact about keeping
the child quiet and preoccupied, and having the child interfere as little as
possible with OUR agendas, OUR plans, OUR time, OUR ‘peace of mind’.
But that is an issue
entailing many aspects and dimensions, and it is being walked extensively in Blogs
written by parents and parents-to-be who walk this process of self-honesty.
Which brings me to the
actual point of this blog, being that: without self-honesty, no actual
self-care is possible. Let me demonstrate why through some simple examples.
You know that for
instance due to your current condition or schedule, physical movement would do
you good and would support you in stabilizing yourself, breathing more, etc.
But every time the time is here where you could do some physical exercises or
stretch or take a walk in the park, you’ll tell yourself in your mind things
like “Oh man I don’t have enough time” or “Oh let me go and buy some sweets
first” or “But I haven’t exercised for so long, I’m just not up for it”- and you’ll
find in your mind all kinds of reasons and excuses why you will not support
yourself as a physical being that has certain requirements for a healthy and
stable existence.
Or, say for instance
that you have defined yourself through your work to such an extent that you’ve
become like a workaholic, and at the end of the day your body is letting you
know through various symptoms that it is time to stop whatever it is you are
doing and rest, go to bed, have a shower, do some breathing exercises or whatever
would support you in resting. But whenever such moment is here, you’ll in your
mind find ways to ignore the communication of your body – which is in fact
ignoring yourself as a physical being.
Or, say for instance
there are certain physical tasks that require to be done with which you will
support yourself in your life, be it making some phone calls, arranging
appointments, answering emails etc. But you are busy watching movies or playing
games, and every time you remember your tasks that you should be taking care
of, you tell yourself “Oh just one more movie” or “But I’d actually like to
continue playing this game, I just can’t stop” and stuff like that.
What is evident within
this is that curiously enough there is a contradiction between what your body
needs and requires, what you should be doing and taking care of so as to
effectively support yourself in this physical reality – and the wants / needs /
desires of your mind.
And ironically enough
there is a ‘third’ party within that, which is YOU =
the one that makes the
decision in every moment as to what you will do and participate in, and what
you will ignore and not participate in.
This brings us to
self-honesty.
How is it that we care so much for the wants / needs / desires
that come-up in our mind – most of which are based on conditioned patterns of
consciousness, according to how we have programmed ourselves to ‘cope’ with our
reality.
‘Coping’ being the
operative word here, because it is through ‘coping’ that we manifest and
maintain an existence of ‘survival’-
the survival of ourselves as
consciousness, as the systematic prepgrogrammed robot that merely reacts to
triggers as conditioned; and equally through this also the survival of this
world system as we know it, which is dependent upon human beings existing as
systematic organic robots, keeping the system running, and nothing ever
changing.
So – within this also
everyone is waiting for everyone and everything else to change first, while the
solution obviously is within becoming the directive principle of change, of
correction, of transformation – both within and without.
Have a look at how often
you’ll think things like “Oh if only that and that point were different in my
life, I would be different / my experience of myself would be different” or “if
only that and that person would change, then everything would be much better”…
We seldom consider being the one to care, being the one taking the initiative
and thus becoming the directive principle for change, for transformation, for a
‘better world’ in fact. Because that would mean to start with ourselves – and
oh my god we are so fearful of letting go of our petty self-definitions, of our
habits and addictions, of our wants, needs and desires the way we have designed
them in our mind and integrated them in our body.
And if we really look at it –
what is it all about? It’s about ‘keeping ourselves happy’ which is in fact
about keeping ourselves comfortably numb’- in the same way that parents will
train their children with rewards to be what and how they want them to be – to
fit in, to comply, to obey, to be obedient servants of the little family system
to begin with, so that they can be good servant of the System when the time
comes…
So it’s fascinating
how we strive to emancipate ourselves from out parents, from authority etc. yet
at the same time we develop the same kind of authority within our minds as our
consciousness, and spend our lives trying to make/keep that consciousness
happy, while we care only for the wants / needs / desires that this conditioned
consciousness presents us with within the mind.
Fascinating how this
point actually really is so obvious, and so simplistic – yet we fail to acknowledge it, we hardly
ever ask the question where our thoughts and emotional/feeling reactions come
from, where our moods come from, let alone realizing that we are in fact The
One that in every moment makes a decision as to what one will support / follow
/ fulfill.
Therefore, what does
this tell us? Real care in this world does not exist. What exists is
self-interest and a consciousness that exists like a parasite within/as a state of mind
that makes-believe that ‘ignorance is bliss’ and that only seeks its own ‘peace
of mind’, regardless the cost and the consequences for others or even one’s own
physical body.
A further interesting
and vital perspective to see within this – and this can be seen especially
within the example of the workaholic that is physically so tired but in spite
of the pain or other symptoms the physical body communicates, they will just
not stop –
is how the
mind/consciousness exploits the physical for its own existence.
If you went to rest or
sleep for instance, the mind/consciousness (of eg. the workaholic) would no longer
be able to continue ‘working’. But it’s not even about ‘working’, it’s about
self-preservation – meaning: the being as consciousness has identified to such
an extent with ‘working’, that it’s created like a fear of losing itself /
losing its identity if it were to stop ‘working’. So within our existence as
consciousness, this can be generalized: wherein we are so defined by our
self-definitions as consciousness, through what we ‘do’ and ‘how we are’, what
and how we ‘think’ and what we believe, that even questioning all that seems
like a threat.
But back to the point
I was making:
the consciousness we
become uses the resources of the physical body to exist. Without the physical
body generating the energy for the consciousness to exist, or should I say to
‘run’, it cannot function. This can be seen clearly within the example of the
workaholic for instance.
Now from this point
would or should actually arise the question: why do we age, really? Why do we
die? Why does death exist? And how come we haven’t yet –despite our ‘great
technological advancement’- been able to see, realize and understand the
existence of death, even though it is the one thing that is certain the moment
we are born?
Many questions arise –
and here, self-honesty and common sense would be vital to even start exploring
such questions without getting lost in the wants, needs, and desires of
consciousness.
To see some of the
consequences of how consciousness exists and why for instance such questions
about death and the ‘afterlife’ have not yet been answered with clarity,
certainty, and insight, please read
To conclude with the
point of this post, let it be said that without self-honesty, without knowing
and understanding ourselves: we cannot really care for ourselves or each-other,
let alone support ourselves as life, and assist ourselves in transcending this
paranoid parasitic consciousness that has taken over our existence, within and
without.
And – if I am not The
One to CARE, for life as myself to begin with, then nobody else will. And we
can spend a life time waiting for others to change, waiting for things to change,
waiting for the world to change, so that is apparently ‘worth our care’- But,
we never cared for ourselves as life in the first place, so why should anyone
care FOR us?
Briefly, to re-define
CARE from being the systematic ‘fulfillment’ of the wants, needs and desires of
the mind/consciousness which only includes the ‘rewards’ we have conditioned
ourselves to want/need/desire based on the ‘laws’ and ‘ways’ of the system that
formed us –
it is obvious that we
must learn to differentiate between the wants/needs/desires of the
mind/consciousness and the needs and requirements of ourselves and our world as
physical beings. So, within walking/applying and living self-care, the question
we must ask ourselves is: How do I support that little life spark within myself?
How do I support my physical body that makes my existence in this world
possible in the first place? How do I care for my existence practically,
physically, in such a way that I can be the best I can be according to my
predisposition, and further, how can I explore and expand my abilities and my
possibilities to contribute to a change in my world so that also my world
becomes ‘worthy of life’.
Care should be the
practical, visible living-application of one’s love for life –not one’s ‘love’ for
one’s own mind- where love and life/living are equal and one in meaning and
value, because love –and CARE- cannot be just a ‘feeling’, an ‘idea’, an ‘intent’
that follows a quest of enlightened self-interest’.
When CARE is real, it
has constructive results which are visible, measurable, not only for oneself,
but consequently and in time for one’s world as well.
Join us to walk the
solutions to such questions practically, individually, and together as One
life, as One humanity – to find ways where we can all live and co-exist without
harm, without exploitation, without abuse. Within AND without.
