"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds. Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be." - Patanjali
Thanks for the add. ¶ Watching, shopping, voting are not enough. The ideological battle between love & fear shapes the world, and its outcome is still being written, so every one of us may be needed. People hear only what they want, so facts alone won't wake them; they'll need inspiration too. What is human nature? Our task is not just to describe what we see, but to choose what we will become. An echo of an echo of Buddha or Jesus, encrusted in ritual, loses context & content. Still, we write what we can. Try to hear the deeper questions. ¶ This world's diverse evils have a common root: Bullies, liars, thieves, & murderers — in market, government, & elsewhere — believe we're all separate, motivated only by greed. They want us to share that belief, for they use it to justify themselves, to keep us apart, to control politics & the economy, perpetuating war, poverty, ecocide. Their power comes not so much from cabals as from ubiquitous propaganda, implicit in their framing of the news. But they're mistaken about our motives. You & I have found empathy inside ourselves & our friends. It's in everyone, even the bombers, if only we can wake them, for we're all one flesh & blood. Let's spread that vision, for until we do our other advances will be minor & temporary. The bureaucracy of brutality cannot stand if we open the eyes of its workers. ¶ If you haven't already, join the global conversation, in whatever way feels right for you. Merge the revolutions of enlightenment & class struggle. Worldwide understanding has no precedent; we must discover & erase its rules en route. Make love not war is as serious as Orwell & as light as "Chocolat." For a start, just talk with people — that may not sound like much, but really it's huge. Spread the word. Each of us knows only part of the song, but keep singing. Keep hoping, resisting, questioning. Hand in hand, we may heal this world. ¶ Eric
