Planet – Plan-it – Plant (Part Two): DAY 495
So, in the next post –
I will continue with how we individually and collectively can root ourselves
into this real world, unite our stand and living in this real world and take
responsibility for our lives, for life on earth – because if we as individuals
don’t start standing up and becoming living as well as leading examples of what
it means to honour life – our own and that of everything / everyone else here
in this physical existence…no one will. Essentially – we have to PLANT
ourselves into this physical existence and through our actions and living –
contribute to life on earth. What it would practically mean to PLANT ourselves
into this physical existence…I will continue with in the next post…
What is interesting when observing ourselves, is that: we
very seldom consider our physical body as a living organism…a living organism
that is very much a part of this physical existence and very much dependent on
this physical existence for its survival. We do (and this also only when we are
fortunate) nurture and care for our physical bodies to ‘stay alive’ / ‘survive’
/ ‘be healthy’ / ‘live longer’ – essentially, you can have a look at your
relationship with your physical body and determine for yourself the reasons why
you take care of it / what your primary relationship
with your physical body is. Again, many will find that your relationship with
your body extends only to being conscious of your personal relationship with
it…very seldom do you consider its interconnectedness and dependency on the
rest of everything and all else physical that is here in and on this Earth.
What is fascinating here is how we have primarily defined
our relationship with our physical bodies through the world system / media ‘out
there’ – where many have trouble with ‘body image’ / ‘beauty’ and many others
have trouble with staying alive in various ways because of war, poverty,
starvation etc. An interesting point to consider here is how many of the Elite
in this world (people with money who survive on a daily basis), have more of a
daily awareness of external appearance and this you can test for yourself with
having a look at how much and how often you think about what you look like…So,
we have more of an awareness of external appearance, than realising the extent
of responsibility we as individuals have when it comes to the whole world,
because we are a physical body, in this physical existence and our physical
bodies is dependent on this physical existence for its survival…so, why have we
not individually and collectively stood in this one singular point of
responsibility to take care of this world to care for our bodies and so
ourselves to have the best life/living
experience possible individually as well as collectively?
The point I would like to bring to your awareness here is
how the masses have been conditioned with regards to the relationship with the
physical body to such an extent, that very little of our awareness ever
considers the body and the body’s relationship to this physical existence. Many
may say “why should I care?” – which brings me to the point of what is
contributing in human consciousness to the consequence we are creating in the
relationship to our bodies and this physical existence as a whole…why the
masses are not PLANTED into and as the Ecosystem of this Earth / physical
existence and contributing to life on earth, but in fact contributing to the
destruction of it all…
So, what is contributing to this “why should I care?”
tendency we have is the dimensions of ‘automation and abdication of
responsibility’ – what does this mean?
Because our physical body functions predominantly ‘on its
own’ – bar for us having to feed it, we tend to only align our self-awareness
to our bodies when something goes wrong. So, only when something goes wrong in your body do you
genuinely consider your body more / have more regard for it, to only when it’s
better – essentially ‘forget about it’, because ‘the body takes care of itself,
automatically’…we don’t even have to ‘think to breathe’, the body breathes for
us. In this dependency on ‘automation’, we have created a dimension of ‘abdication
of responsibility’. Meaning: as soon as the body feels better and everything is
okay, we go back into our minds, leave the body to its automation and so leave
our responsibility
to our bodies and root ourselves back into our Minds where we focus our awareness
more on our Mind’s relationship to ourselves and to the body. It’s like; we’re
only ever rooted into our bodies, considering it, only thinking about its welfare
when something goes wrong.
If we have a look at our relationship to the world out there
– everyone is only ever concerned about the world / world events when ‘things
go wrong’ or reaches a certain level where it goes ‘really wrong / more wrong
than usual’. It’s like we have lost touch with our own bodies and the world out
there to such an extent that we’ve reached a level of ‘acceptance’ of
consequence in our minds, bodies and the world out there – where there is
always a certain level of things going wrong – you know, the usual, of money,
wars, violence, poverty, disease,
starvation but it ever so often reaches a climax and then our attention diverts
to it more than usual…
We have left our bodies, this physical existence – in such a
way where we have gone into an accepted-automation of ‘the body generally takes
care of itself, I can continue existing in my Mind’, of ‘the world / the earth
will take care of itself, I will only focus on my personal mind/life’ – in this
is the very act of abdicating the responsibility we have towards ourselves,
each other and earth as a whole. We have not been self-aware of this
responsibility, because we have not rooted / planted our awareness, our self,
into an equal and one responsibility of our
own bodies and the ‘body of existence’ as the earth and everything/everyone
within and as it.
So, we’ll in the next post continue with having a look at
the dimension of acceptance, automation and abdication of responsibility when ‘things
go wrong’ in our mind-body relationship and our relationship to the world out
there – especially why and how it is that we as a collective do not stand together
/ have evolved to a point where we can adjust our relationships and the systems in the world to
unite to PREVENT what’s happening and find sustainable long-term solutions –
but rather have gone into this acceptance of ‘things are generally wrong / bad’.
We’re going to have a look at how this is one dimension separating us from our
rootedness and responsibility to ourselves, each other and the world as a whole
– uniting to develop this ecosystem of life on earth to the betterment of all
and so ourselves.
Living in awareness of my own body and applying the principles of prevention are major keys! Thanks.
