This is a great idea Jeffrey, a private place for like minded people to share ideas for the greater good!

How serendipitous that immediately after loading this app, I saw these 2 posts on Facebook, one describing how things are, the other, how things should and must be!

I suspect that bridging the difference should be the ultimate goal of all thinking humans?!

“Not to know one's true identity is to be a mad, disensouled thing — a golem. And, indeed, this image, sickeningly Orwellian, applies to the mass of human beings now living in the high-tech industrial democracies. Their authenticity lies in their ability to obey and follow mass style changes that are conveyed through the media. Immersed in junk food, trash media, and cryp-tofascist politics, they are condemned to toxic lives of low awareness. Sedated by the prescripted daily television fix, they are a living dead, lost to all but the act of consuming.”

― Terence McKenna

In the act of taking care of others, you are taking care of yourself. In the act of taking care of your environment, you are taking care of yourself. For you are everything and everything is you, there is no separation. To see yourself in all of humanity, in the homeless, the unhealed, the unloved, the poverty stricken and the outcast is to live in a divine space of love, oneness and unity consciousness.We are all manifestations and expressions of the same source split up into many different forms with many different functions working in harmony for the equilibrium of this planet. The flowers need the bees, the animals needs the trees and we need each other to survive, thrive and feel alive. See yourself in those you encounter, those that need a helping hand for they could be your Mother, Father, brother, sister or closest friend who just needs someone to understand. Much love to you all. #marciasdivinity ✨💛

Exactly! We've already had some really interesting dialogue. Thanks for sharing these ideas. McKenna's quote merits reflection to say the least. As for the second point, I agree that we have to dissolve illusory barriers between one another. Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh's spoke of the importance of acknowledging our "interbeing" with others and the world. Social Change is generated we refuse false choices like making personal changes OR participating in politics OR being politically active. A guitar sounds best when all of the strings are, at some point, strummed
