Wide Awake in Babylon

"That Is a joyful war, one where the only casualties are your self-importance and your over-fed ego. Lay down your fears and smile, Life is on your side." If you've been down, and wanted to feel joy, then you are already fighting the joyful war. If you always appear to be in a good mood and smiling, but it isn't always real, then you too are a part of the joyful war. Anywhere on the spectrum, if you are seeking a genuine state of well-being, and not always finding it, you are engaged in battle between the forces in you through which you seek joy and well-being, and the forces in you(and outside influences you let affect you)which send you to your own personal hell.This joyful war is a war you begin winning with a genuine smile, smiling with your whole body, instead of a creepy false smile that doesn't touch the eyes. You've seen that one, perhaps even in yourself. Even with a true, genuine smile as a starting point, the war continues, because things come up. Life Continues, situations present themselves. Some are easy, some seem difficult, but how you go about doing what's in front of you determines the outcome of the next battle in the joyful war...................This Lecture took place on 9/10/10

How can we be more welcoming of awe and wonder at this blast of the infinite, and less prone to drift back to blah and endless chatter?

In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into the intricate dynamics of human flourishing and the barriers that threaten it. Exploring real-world examples from history, we uncover lessons from Argentina's economic collapse and Russia's tumultuous aftermath of invading Afghanistan. Both serve as cautionary tales of how systemic destruction leads to a loss of dignity and the arduous task of rebuilding from the ground up. These stories resonate with the vulnerabilities many Americans face today, from a lack of savings to a deficiency in self-sufficiency skills like food storage and cultivation. The conversation pivots to solutions, emphasizing the critical role of community resilience and integrity. The speaker highlights the power of small, interconnected groups supporting each other in times of crisis and the pressing need for individuals to regain autonomy by mastering self-sufficiency rather than relying on fragile external systems. Shifting from external systems to inner struggles, the episode examines the complexities of daily agendas filled with spiritual practices like meditation and breathing exercises. While these routines are often designed to foster well-being, the speaker questions whether rigid adherence can sometimes disturb one's true nature. Wrestling with these realities becomes a metaphor for grappling with life’s inherent challenges, including systemic corruption and extortion that hinder societal progress. In a dramatic turn, the discussion expands to literal and metaphorical demons—forces that possess and disrupt lives. With chilling anecdotes of possession, including accounts of levitation and loss of control, the speaker underscores the importance of cultivating a strong energetic presence and a direct connection to life itself. This "force of being" becomes a potent tool for overcoming both internal struggles and external chaos. Throughout the episode, the message is clear: flourishing in a world fraught with complexity demands integrity, resilience, and a nuanced approach to change. Whether confronting systemic failures or personal battles, the path to thriving lies in reclaiming control, fostering community, and aligning with the true nature of being. Tune in for a captivating exploration of what it takes to rise above collapse, both within and without.
