Please take time to appreciate your world. Pick flowers. Stand in the rain, sniffing the wet. Notice creatures, don’t kill them. Don’t step on a caterpillar because you are too lazy to adjust your stride. Be aware of your big feet. You are accountable for each thing you kill on this planet. More to the point – have some respect for Nature. She is what gave you life, gives you life.
If you are going to hunt something, you must eat it. Hunting is acceptable when it is for survival. Culling. I find culling slightly objectionable. Man decides that the animals are too many for their environment and so he kills them off to tidy up that anomaly. What if the gods suddenly decided that us humans were too many for our environment and tidied up our numbers by shooting millions of us? I think we’d object. Is that what genocide is? Disease? Murder? I do not see this subject as God’s argument. I see that it is Nature restoring equilibrium. You can count on some major ‘culling’ being done on a daily basis in this world. A lot of people die every day. This is how it is, we cannot be sentimental about dropping numbers. We need to be realistic, accept Nature’s give and take. The way a lot of people die is not great. That is a problem. Can you imagine the luxury of dying in your sleep with a full stomach when you are facing an AK 47? Starving? Being bombed? I think death needs to be more humane in a lot of places. Africa is not a good place for death. The way you can die in Africa is wild, cruel, vicious. She is not a continent for tip-toing around the taking of a life. Perhaps the world needs to look at death differently. A lot of people are living a lot longer than they did before, so when you die in the first world of a stress disease (there are many) or old age or of natural causes then there is really no reason to complain. Your death is part of your life. It is a continuation. You are in charge of the amount of stress you let into your life, so if you contract a stress disease you need to accept that your path brings you what it brings you. You should not cry when death comes in a good way, you can consider yourself, your family, blessed. I have said it before – we can all aspire to dying in our sleep. It is something to think about if you want to start visualising your future. When you concentrate your energies on what you want to happen in your life you will find that often, it does.
We are Nature. We have a human nature. Our natures are not the same. I do believe we are born with either a good nature or an evil nature. Fortunately there are a lot more people with good natures than there are evil. Nature is inherently good, though she has a temper. We have her traits. We are human in that we can speak. More than anything else, this makes us human. The words we use carry energy. It is important to think before you speak when such is possible. Words out, are words down. You must realise how powerful what you say out loud is. Your ears are tuned naturally to hear your voice, your tone. When you fight or when you insult somebody, understand that the negative sentiment is ricocheting straight back at you. You bitch at someone, you are being that bitch to yourself. It is interesting to hear from yourself what you will say of others, to others. Be careful what you choose to show the world with your speech, your vocal expression tells the truth about the state of your interior. If you are being a shitty person because your insides are a mess – stop it. The world does not need people like you any longer.
Say what you mean – Blog No. 26
Take control of what you tell people. Moderate your own comments before you make them. People do not need to know your every negative thought, know that. There are too many people talking noisily about nothing in this world. There are too many people following roads that go nowhere, giving a running commentary on their travelling experience. The true journey only begins when your feet find the right road. That is when you touch base with something sacred and your commentary becomes relevant. You will hear yourself clearly when your say-so is from your heart. Others will hear you clearly, too. Understand that until the moment – the psychological moment – that your commentary becomes relevant to you, you are confined to the corners of your life. Speaking from your own periphery is pointless. Speak directly to – and from – your core. Realise that sometimes you may surprise yourself with the things you say. Get used to being forthright, but practice not speaking your every thought. You are asking someone else to listen when you open your mouth. That is the way of humans. Make sure when you ask someone to listen to you, you have something to contribute to their day. That is the first thing. Out of respect, do not waste another’s time by whining in their ears. That makes two of you tired and contributes nothing to either of your lives. Speak to be understood. To do that – understand yourself. Observe yourself without judging your behaviours. That will bring you a new understanding and a new wisdom that you will find it relevant to share. Watch yourself change, evolve. Give yourself permission to grow. You will find that you do.
