Globalization is now the new market in which capitalist pirates can seize the new economic boom. Since the world seems to work around money, and the goal of attaining more of it, our true purpose has been slighted by this misrepresented concept.
He who has the most numbers wins?
I don’t think so.
We must simply begin to question the very ideas that are presented to us by our fellow mainstream innovators. Why push globalization now? Why not one thousand years ago? Why are we even counting years to begin with? As a human, we are connected to everything around us through emotional strings, strings we are obviously not using. What we feel is very real, even though we have been taught to not trust our feelings and seek advice from so called experts. Feeling is an organic and natural process that has always been with us. If we feel the heart of others our connections to those people will never be severed. But it’s scary to feel isn’t it? Lets think about it this way, when we are born, we are told that one day, past the great question mark of life, we will grow old and die. A malicious factor that has been taken as fact that inhibits us from feeling.
I can love my neighbor, but only 75%. The reason being is that if I love my neighbor a full 100% I risk getting hurt because one day he/she might leave or die. So I limit my love for thy neighbor and for myself. I find that I have created an invisible cage around myself and my heart. I find myself destroying the very thing that makes me, me…. my feelings and emotions that fuel my very existence. If I am the creator of my reality, then all things are a matter of my choosing.
Inevitably, death is a choice.
We rely on the internet, cell phones, email, telegrams and other such devices simply because we are afraid of an emotionally connected relationship. What these devices do for us, we have always been able to do through our hearts and minds, our very own organic technology. Globalization has been around even before the word was invented, the modem our minds, the power our hearts.
So why is it that we are now only talking about this global unity, and only now noticing that most of the world works on a mechanical reaction to the things around us? Perhaps the church has the answer? Perhaps the Psychologist that works within certain measures of nationalism will know? The fact of the matter is that it is placed in our path now because someone perhaps is banking on it, maybe not. The idea here is to recreate the World as we know it as creators. Government and its multiple political smiles are a falsehood of special interests that sustain economic gains. We live our lives thinking that we have limited choices: choices such as having a vanilla milkshake or a chocolate one, large fries or onion rings, a three-bedroom house or a four-bedroom one.
There’s a lot more than just that, and I am not simply speaking about a choice in car colors or the coffin that you’ll be buried in one day. I am speaking about the choice of immortality, the choice to change the world and the choice to truly feel the emotions that we have suppressed for most of our lives.
We have a choice in all matters.
Humans have tried to reconstruct the tools they have already possessed through structures and technology, in the name of advancement. The further we venture passed our true origins the greater the divide becomes. Not only does our world become more mechanical, but so do our responses and feelings to that mechanical monster.
What can we do?
There is not one community out there, authority, specialist that would know you better than you would know your self. You live with yourself 365 days a year, 24 hours a day and so on. You are aware of every change, of every thought and every evolution you go through. Based on this truth, logically it is impossible for a doctor or a psychologist that meets you for 5 minutes to know more about you than you already know.
It is time to give credit to where credit is due.
Time to start fully trusting yourself and take responsibilities towards the world around you.
These ideas such as global unity can serve for a great conversation over coffee but can easily die with the last sugar packet.
It is simply time to connect not through internet or mobile phones… but to connect with the emotions that can and will surpass the mechanistic society which we have created for the sake of advancement. Advancement we’ve been equipped with since day one.
First of all, congratulations on your essay. I really enjoyed reading it. Secondly, I have to admit I hadn't thought of the fact that part of being a whole with the world we live in is feeling our feelings. Now that you say it it seems obvious, but it's tru that people usually don't realize the power that they have of themselves by merely knowing their own selves. If we know ourselves, we can answer our own questions regarding most of the society we live in, we learn to observe and listen, and make our lives easier and more pleasant not only for ourselves but for those around us. If we paid more attention to our hearts and consciences we would be more in contact with our souls, and through that, with the God as well. If we are in touch with ourselves and with God, we will be more aware of the natural world around us and of the feelings of others, which would create a lot less trouble within communities, and consequently, less turmoil in our global society.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the popular views of machinery is that they have no feelings. Our world, mechanized to a certain extent reflects what the general population has steered towards. It's neither good or bad, it simply is what it is. However, it is obvious that a change so to speak is in order. Though machines may or may not have feelings, it's harder to find those feelings through gears and nuts. Our feelings and emotions is the key. That's what fuels us and makes us who we are.... beings capable of compassion, love and being able to influence harmony and peace.
ReplyDeleteIn all honesty, we have to simply trust what we feel in our hearts. From there, things get easy. It's when we don't allow ourselves to breathe freely is when 'the going gets tough'.... and let me tell you, when that happens the rest of that cliche is far from happening.
