CONTROLLING OUR CREATED CALLINGS & CAUSES

Creation is a constant ongoing process that occurs by default through thought. Our creativity was inherited from our creator.  As creatures we have control over certain aspects of our existence.  Once we learn which things are truly open to our volitional control and which things are not, we can create constructively. The anxieties and stresses we encounter in our personal lives are simply created by us.  Incorrect assumptions and inaccurate premises create inoperable theories that confound and confuse us. The confidence we keep in our own interpretations allows us to "con"ourselves.  If life is intelligent, comes from intelligence and creates other intelligence; it stands to reason that all life is purposefully created. All life comes through or is formed by some other creature(s).  Nothing materializes on it's own, we universally create it!

Truth is definitive.  There is never more then one version of the truth. We should never buy into the idea of personal truth. Although there may be multiple perspectives for evaluating truth, the actual truth lies within the source that created it.  Many time we focus on the problem more then the solution, the sickness more then the cure and the cause more then the consequence.  The truth of the matter, is the manner in which we identify and define truth.  We create hierarchies, economic  and social classes, cultural and religious distinctions along with multiple methods for governance. The growing realization of our universal, or at minimum worldwide connectivity, has exposed us to a new way of thinking.  Keeping traditional stagnant perspective cannot and will not survive in this new age of accelerated advances, remedies and discoveries that spawn innovations.  Contrary to popular opinion our minds as a species is developing and evolving.  Theory of mind, often abbreviated ToM, describes the innate ability that presumably broadens our frame of reference in regards to the way we perceive the mental state of ourselves and others. In other words our perception defining truth is broadening.

Life is a journey and an ongoing story. There is a beginning, middle and a transition. We have a certain amount of control in creating that story. As we live our lives that story is told. Each of our stories are intertwined and combine to create one big story shared by us all.  Where and how we are when we attempt to make sense of any story gives us our perspective.  Without a proper appreciation for the genesis of our reasoning we may fall victim of any kind of consciousness that fits our circumstance. It is easy to adopt a rationale which allows contradictory thoughts about experiences to create false meanings. The incorrect interpretations of occurrences contaminate the understanding of our existence. Many of the phrases and expressions generally used and accepted by most of us are inadequate representations of the truth.  Whatever doesn't kill us will NOT necessarily make us stronger. Practice will NOT make perfect. Sticks and stones may break our bones but words can be fatal. The best things in life are NOT free!  It is important to place truth in it own sacred category and remember that cliche's may offer snappy answers without practical solutions.

People are flawed.  Historically, the personification of truth has contributed to the corruption of our leaders and the deception of the masses. "The best governance comes from those who lead the way but do not force us to follow it."  "The best teachers are those who show us where to look but do not tell us what to see."  When we idolize our leaders we do them and ourselves a great disservice.  Our priorities should be on policy, practices and principles rather then personalities, parties or people.  Unfortunately our culture tends to lean towards hero worship in entertainment, politics, religion and sports.  We have traded role models for role players and the transparency of truth for tactics and tales. Slogans have replaced solutions, partiality has pervaded policy and lies are legitimatized through teaching others lessons or legislation.

Compatibility is a choice. To perpetuate the idea that there are specific combinations of two or more intelligent human beings that cannot coexist or work together for a common cause without the ability to overcome problems and conflicts is ludicrous.  Having been fed the myth that a state of mutual coexistence is not always possible in some cultures, countries, circumstances of marriage, family or any other human relationship limits the expression of our existence.  Of course there are ideal combinations of both people and elements that epitomize harmony, but that does not exclude diversities that do not. We are compatible by design.  The corruption of our compatibility only comes through our egocentric expressions.  Isn't it really our individuality and uniqueness that attracts us to one another? Now that we have reached the ability to manipulate and at some level predetermine physical and maybe mental characteristics genetically; isn't it time to raise our voices and have a say in determining the practices and policies that should cooperatively shape the future. Seeing one another as perfectly imperfect is more then just a perspective it is in fact the essence of our being.  

Homeostasis is the process that maintains stability through equilibrium even in the midst of change. As scientist  search for "god particles" like the Higgs Boson subatomic particle produced from the collision of two protons; and we embrace new technologies like "CRISPR" it should be apparent that the future is HERE NOW! A relatively steady state among independent entities creates a new interdependent organism.  This can be applied to the elements of an organism be it plants, animals or populations of people.  From the cellular level (the microcosm) to the universal level (the macrocosm) there is a necessity to reach, establish and maintain a steady state.  As we grow in our understanding of the connectivity of life we will practice the parable of the "Good Samaritan" and shun the answer of Cain who replied, "am I my brothers Keeper?"

Conclusive evidence reveals how difficult, if not impossible it is to drain any swamp we're living in.  If we are not a part of the solution we are a part of the problem. In any case we must take part in the process to be apart of the remedy. Criticism from without is never as effective as challenging from within. We are called individually to form collective, collaborative and cohesive bonds in and with life. We must embrace the true meaning of cooperation without compromising our calling.  The functioning of anything is a joint venture of combined operations working collectively to achieve individual or collective goals.  Cooperation and exchange is the way of life for our common cause.  The sooner our human populations come to this realization, the sooner we will embrace the harmony that transcends tangible temporal things by creating perpetual spiritual perspectives.  Remember diversity is the one thing we all have in common.
