Many people today are feeling isolated, separated, lonely and desperate.
AND they - especially the elders -are !
This is not something we can simply put aside by imposing positivity and harmony and blame it on a lack of spirituality in them .This is too easy , and it happens because we try to avoid to face excisting suffering in the world and thus stay in our comfort zone and not meet our own fear.
Speaking from my experience , I can tell that since a long time I find that people are less and less interested in what others are, experienced or have to teach and share. They are so imprisoned in there own small world, that everything not in it is just out of view.
Many experiences/knowledge/teachings will be simply lost because noone ever listens or takes interest.
We hear so much complaining about being lonely and that all connections are mostly superficial,that we take some head now to put out ideas and tools how to change this.
So , first thing first ... we need two Organs in the beginning to make the big change ( yes, two Organs, no money , no workshop, no -ism )...:
~Heart and Ear~
those two organs are made for us humans to connect in profound ways with our pack and be social.
You are lonely? ... start listening to others from your heart!
What does that mean? ... open your heart, consider that there is the life of someone else thatis as interesting and important as your own. It has something for you to grow in it.
You look for spiritual growth ? Okay , ... easy ... open your heart and listen ! ... to the birds, the animals , the trees, spirit, the water AND your fellow human being. Spirituality is not what you think ;-) ..
You look for getting out of your isolation ? ... okay... open your heart and listen ...open your heart in a way of not-knowing, fresh as a newborn baby ... put aside all your ideas and concepts,likes and dislikes, and how you -subconsciously- already have judged this person.
Then listen.. listen 100 % ... all ear ... taking in what is said , in words and gestures and feeling and vibration...and vow (maybe only sometimes for the beginner ;-)) to not react, or answer to it Thus you avoid that at the same time you listen you are already planning your elaborate answer/sharing ...
Try this ... and allow to see what happens ... can you see the transformation ?? How the body language of the other changes , how emotions show, how interesting it is what the other shares? How this leads to a deep moment in which all separation is gone ?
Try this ... keep the mind of a beginner, of not knowing ~only bear witness, stay in the moment with WHAT IS ~
and see how real healing is taking place ... without moral concepts , without imposing harmony/positivity, without turning away from suffering and joy as is !
You don't need a special setting outside for this , just a special mode inside ... and you can test it on whoever crosses your path right NOW :)
