I alone cannot change society; but I can change myself. Transform my own consciousness. Overcome the conditioning that limits me. We can all do this, if enough people do, then we can change society from the inside out.

Visible to anyone in the world

I was thinking about stuff I have written in the past about my sadness for the plight of the natural world. Today I became so
frustrated by these thoughts I concluded it was an impossible thing to
fix. This then seemed to cause the gears of my mind to slow and grind to
a halt and I lost motivation for anything.
Then I remembered about
the strange phenomena of faith. A writer, unfortunately I cannot remember
his name, said he acted as if there was a muse even though in his mind
he thought such things were nonsense; and so he turned up to write at
his desk every day having faith the muse would be there, and strangely
his reality became as if the muse was really there.
Even
though I do not believe in God, perhaps if like the writer with the
muse, I turn up each day and pray for the change I want to see in the
world and have faith it will happen maybe this will be like a butterfly
wing that starts a wind to turn this extinction event around. In the Jesus myth we are told if you have faith you can move mountains. Even though this is a
mythological story, that idea must have come from somewhere.
I
will give faith a go anyway, see if it really can move mountains. It is irrational, possibly delusional; but in all honesty I
do not know what else to do really. The only other option is to give up and descend into apathy and deep sadness.
I have to try. I do not want to see the world end on my watch.
