  1. HOW DID WE BECOME SO
    CONFUSED ABOUT REALITY? 💎

    That may be the question A Course in Miracles is really trying to answer. Its answer is almost absurdly simple:

    We believed our own interpretation.

    In the Course’s story, there is the tiny mad idea of separation, and instead of recognising it as meaningless, the mind takes it seriously. From there come guilt, fear, projection, and, eventually, a world outside ourselves that seems to explain why we feel frightened and divided.

    Then the confusion becomes convincing.

    The body says, “I am here.” The eyes say, “There is a world out there.” Pain says, “Something outside me has hurt me.” Death says, “Life ends.” And generation after generation inherits the same interpretation and calls it reality.

    What I love about ACIM is that it doesn’t ask us to replace one complicated worldview with another. It keeps bringing us back to something much simpler: "Perhaps what I am seeing does not mean what I think it means?"

    "I gave everything I see all the meaning it has for me."

    That changes everything. Because if reality itself is not broken, then reality does not need repairing. Only perception does. And perhaps even that is too much.

    Sometimes the confusion simply stops being fed. The commentary goes quiet.

    And reality is still there.

  6. Observer sans idée préconçue

    Observez ce qui se passe effectivement dans le monde, et toute cette confusion qui règne en vous, mais en observant de la sorte, ne transformez pas en idée en abstraction, le fruit de cette observation. Soyons très clair sur ce point. Lorsque nous observons un arbre, le mot arbre est une notion abstraite -et non pas la réalité de l'arbre. J'espère que c'est clair. Le mot, l'explication, la description n'est pas la réalité factuelle, n'est pas ce qui est... lorsque nous observons que […]

  10. Séparer la douleur de la souffrance

    La douleur est une composante inévitable de la condition humaine. Mais la souffrance, qui est le refus ou le rejet psychologique de la douleur, est évitable. Cette pensée, en apparence simple, porte en elle une distinction qui a occupé des penseurs du monde entier et qui peut changer la manière dont on traverse une épreuve. Elle ne demande rien d’impossible, elle ne suggère pas que la douleur disparaîtra, ni qu’on pourra un jour vivre sans elle. Elle évoque autre chose, qu’il […]

  11. Oh joy, another aimless wander through the tangled jungle of buzzword-laden technobabble! 🔍🔧 Apparently, mastering "Harness Engineering" involves going in circles until the dizzying repetition makes you a certified expert in contributing... to #confusion. 🤯🔄

  12. "In 2023, 60 per cent of Australians rejected a constitutionally recognised Voice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. A body that could only make representations, only on matters concerning the people whose ancestors have been here sixty thousand years.
    "Too much, the No campaign shrieked. Division. Privilege. Special treatment.
    "Nine months later, Anthony Albanese handed Jillian Segal what the Voice never dreamed of asking for. Not a right to be heard. Power. No election. No parliamentary vote. No hearing. A three year commission reporting personally to the Prime Minister, with a mandate reaching into every campus, newsroom, classroom, gallery, charity, arts contract and visa file in the Commonwealth."

  13. No, I quit at an early age

    Is this a silly question or is it just me?

    Daily writing prompt Are you a lifelong learner? View all responses

    Three Things Challenge

    Your three words today are:
    ALTER
    ALTAR
    AFTERWARDS

    After seeing the daily prompt my first reaction was ‘Who comes up with this silly shit?’ I instantly thought of altering the question but quickly added Di’s fantastic three word challenge to it instead. Afterwards I still can’t comprehend who could really think this is/was a good question.

    So in my typical tradition I will offer a solution to satisfy my altered thinking by suggesting we make an altar to recognize these not so great thinkers making prompts like this.

    The article at top of this thread lists many examples of silencing by @germany

    Your recollection may hint at an earlier incident:
    #Oyoun, a migrant-led cultural center, refused to give in to political pressure and cancel the 20-year anniversary event of the Jewish anti-Zionist group Jüdische Stimme in November 2023. #Berlin’s Culture Minister #JoeChialo ended the center’s contract with the city government, effectively shuttering Oyoun.

    They announced: “This decision feels like more than just a closure; it resembles the setting of a precedent that all state-funded institutions may now fear. The implications are far-reaching, impacting the very essence of artistic freedom and expression.”
