Bernie Sanders, in the book Where to Go From Here, suggests that we need to fight, especially folks who the Republicans threaten.
I see that the youth–as well as the older–are miserable–because our whole system is rotten–yes, dysfunctional (p 255). Bernie calls for jobs for all–of course! (p. 260) But what kind of a setup is it when one has to work to get money for sustenance, instead of being supported in staying truly alive so that they can discover and share their natural talents? This, when one is virtuous, and loves their parents and friends!
How can we expect the quality childcare (p. 260) and compassionate elder care (p. 260) Bernie calls for when workers are pissed off–and rightly so?
The whole arrangement is leaky! Technology has broken us down, and we need to figure out how to stand back up and create a vibrant movement–of humor and dancing! The current symbolism in our brains makes us machines, not lovers full of life. Instead of driving and sitting, our bodies need us to walk, dance and drum–and do capoeira if we’re going to practice a martial art.
What is necessary for our ascendance–our going up from being stepped on, by others; machines; and ourselves–is a reprogramming of our bodies and brains though movement. It’s possible. We need this, just like we need good food. And like we need each other’s differing cultural elements–to grow into butterflies from living in cocoons!
Another thing that has mutilated the world’s humans is history, which has brought us here to this point in America and the larger planet. We need help–all over; it is not correct to rest in the insight that we come by it honestly–that our situation is understandable. This because our plight sucks! It causes suffering for all of the humans, as well as the other populations on Earth. Those with billions of dollars are 1) going to die soon and 2) can’t enjoy a faulty world anyway.
Don’t worry, though; we can solve the problems if we play and work together. But not in unity. We need to invent a harmony, in which difference sounds good with other differences. Exploration of ourselves: this we need, in order to figure out our roles in future activity.
I come by these suggestions from an appreciation of talk therapy; a degree in anthropology from a Jesuit university; study of art and liberal arts; and my life in Chicago, Illinois and Chicagoland. Plus, my good friend is from a different nation. We have his part of the world on a piece of fabric from a photographic image, of Russia to Africa and Africa to India. On the opposite wall is a photographic image of the Western hemisphere–North and South America–on our round planet.
As a friendly woman, many interactions with all kinds of people have I enjoyed. I count as supporters Blacks, whites, Hispanics, Asians, and others. I can see what is happening in the world right now, and it calls for salvation. But I know what we need to do!
An English-speaker, with a bit of Spanish and Farsi familiarity, I have read wide and far–including some parts of the Bible. Right now I’m focused on the Psalms, and am learning a lot. Some say that they are religious–and are the furthest away from virtue that I can imagine!
Many Americans want to be led, like yours truly–by scientific truths that heal the soul. I listen to my heart, as Psalm 16 asserts. My Luke in Limericks, a personal effort of study, recounts 12:11-12, in which the reader is advised to not worry about what to say in any circumstance, as the Holy Ghost will put words in their mouth–my approach, too.
From an inheritance of quality genes, I want to share with the world. As an infertile person, I am hoping that my relatives and wider Chicago family will keep having kids, for the sake of the human population’s future.
This website suggests several healing modalities. It is a work in progress. I hope you can utilize it as an individual belonging to a huge natural effort of peaceful evolution that just needs some direction. I can see a great tomorrow, and would love to be a resource for handling its sustainable creation!
