Kind of almost completely mostly.
Personal accountability is dead... ish.
From being programmed to think for ourselves from the get go. To being encouraged to blame the external by our leaders (it's the guns, the system, the whatever - um... no it's not... it's the people and we humans :/)
To Capitalism - encouraging sociopathic behaviour because in this particular system being a narcissistic sociopath is considered "success"
To being so traumatized by the current dysfunction of all of this that we're mostly unable to even "sit" with the issues at hand to figure out a possible solution
To being so busy treading water that there is just no time to think much at all anymore...
I could go on but I don't want to hijack your post.
But yeah. Not much time for awareness, self reflection or even any kind of consciousness around now - we're mostly running on fear and instinct just trying to survive this mess. And I suspect the powers that be want this.
People who are scared, tired, stressed and easily triggered are easy to manipulate.
Just saying.
Well, you covered a lot of points here, can see where you're coming from. Yeah, those are only some of the components at work that's brought us to the current moment.
Accurate and lots of research to substantiate that. I'll add that my own life path has taught me all that up close and personal.
Fear is best dealt with by facing it, working with it and releasing it. Then it disappears, based on my experience with it.
People don't want to look at triggers, explore that, do the work and deprogram from it. That will disable triggers. Knowing oneself intimately is key. Being present in the moment, observing and developing self-awareness are also key. I have found these approaches, among others I have to be highly effective.
Thank you for leaving a really valid comment, much appreciated.
Well you have clearly walked the path straight through the fire and come out the other side :)
Spot on. Agreed. And I "see" you. *salutes
Wonderfully written!
Long journey, best investment of my time on earth, and continuing with daily practice.
Ha! salutes back and thank you!
Same here. I only wish I'd done it sooner!
I wasted far too much time going around in circles. Mostly because of fear. Which is how we've been programmed... as you so rightly shared.
I'm going to stay connected to you. I sense we have quite a bit to share :)
Have a beautiful day 🌼
I hear you there. I've had the same thought also. Fear seems to be at the root of many things. Also went around in circles. I'd say that's part of the process.
Have a beautiful day 🌼
Thank you, right back at you! Have a beautiful day yourself! 😄
Sometimes we have to circle back! Yep! 😁
Cool. Looking forward to hearing more about you and getting to know you better.
Well met 💜
Yes, we do, lol.
Thank you, looking forward to it! 😁
