WHAT CAN I MYSELF DO TO CONTRIBUTE TO A BETTER WORLD?
The situation Gaza/Israel is horrific. It is also extremely complex. There are many layers, "sides," perspectives.
Taking sides on social media, attacking and insulting one another, perpetuates division when unity is the only way out. Recognizing the horror and complexity of it all, recognizing that no human mind can actually hold and comprehend the totality of what's unfolding, not only on the Gaza/Israel front but also globally, helps to step back and gain objectivity.
Listen to people of integrity and independent thinking, those who have deeper knowledge and understanding, those who express themselves with intelligence and civility, those who spread knowledge for the highest good of all. There is a lot to be learned.
What matters, I believe, is to strive to keep a clear mind and determine "what can I, myself, do, given my circumstances, to contribute to a better world? In small ways or in big ways." The answer will be unique to each person.
Follow your gut. Stay aware.

WHAT IS ENLIGHTENMENT?

I don't know.

Any attempt to describe it will be just an opinion because, unless we are enlightened, we don't really know what Enlightenment is.

What matters is not to define the meaning of that word. What matters is to set the intention for growth, for self-improvement, for soul evolution, and find the path that actually results in inner transformation, which is unique to each one of us. I don't know what Enlightenment is but i've had glimpses of altered states of consciousness. Until one has them, one cannot conceive the experience of such states of being. They are beyond what's familiar to us. Same with Enlightenment.

i've worked for decades on inner transformation, walking the narrow path. I don't know what's ahead but I know what I've left behind. I know that radical change towards inner peace is doable, it is real, and it's life transforming. By reducing inner conflict, one reduces the energetic pool of conflict in the world. By increasing inner peace, one increases outer peace. Entering this path is the best contribution anyone can make to this troubled world.

"FORGET ABOUT THE PAST," they say.

i'm organizing a collection of several decades of letters to my family, and I'm learning a lot about how much i've changed, how much i've grown, matured, how much I've laughed and cried; mostly, how all the pieces make sense now. i still have lots of grieving to do. i will not forget the past that needs to be grieved. and i will not forget the affection expressed by so many people through the years, their support, their cheering me up, their appreciation, because those memories are still alive and nurture me today. No. I will not forget about my past. I'm still learning, growing and changing from it, I'm still being strengthened by it. By honoring my past I'm being pushed forward, and for that I'm grateful. (Words of a trauma survivor.)
