Repeat mistake

We are told by the Albert Einstein meme that "trying to have a different result by using the same method, is the definition of madness"; and by the new age therapists that "life will give us the same lesson until we learn it". Today I invite you to look at the nuances that can be made that make these statements inaccurate. There is quite a lot of learning that is achieved by means of making a mistake, it's called apophatic learning. When we repeat it, there are small changes, in the time, in the perspective; even if it seems to be the same mistake, there is always something different, and always something new to learn.

Don't guilt yourself over stumbling onto the same mistake or problem again. Don't tell yourself it's because you haven't learned. You have, yet you or something else has chosen to put the same situation in your path again. Maybe it's not a mistake, it's an opportunity. And shouldn't we love opportunities?

No one can make a wrong decision about the future because a present decision does not create a future event. Present decisions can only create present events. A decision does not make the future turn out a certain way. It’s how you continue to think after making a decision that makes the future turn out the way it does.  

Merit.

We are not owed anything and there is no something that will be gifted to us, just because. We are not entitled to anything, no matter how good we've done. On the other extreme, we are not doomed, cursed or owe anything for anything we've done. Only in our heads. For the world we relate to, there is cause and effect, and whatever we do or don't do, will bring about its effect. The effect will be affected by our state of mind and vibration, and both extremes described are really not that meritorious. Maybe we are favored by spirit when we are able to play clean, be true, stick to what's real, and do something for the common good; not our consumerist ego-trip, but our actual actions and deeds. Our craft again, is what counts, what is real, what at least others will take as real; are others real to you?

The road continues only if you are willing to do what is good, give, fulfill your work and improve it. As we are able to deliver results, the path to our desired destination will open. As we are creative and we can create something that there was not, we will be approaching where we want to arrive. It depends on us, the favor comes by merit.

Cutting Away.

The earth is so abundant that it allows us to choose the limits we wish to have. These limits exist, of course, but they are not entirely imposed; in a certain way, they are optional. We measure ourselves and establish what exhausts us and what we are willing to endure: the weight we can carry, the effort we can exert.

It seems as though it is the body that decides—and in large part, it is—but the body is governed and accompanied by a thinking nervous system of which you hold the helm. The helm directs the course and provides the vision and, therefore, the future of the living organism; that is why it exists. It is our conscious decisions about surviving, living, prospering, and enjoying life that drive us and regulate us in the choices we make every day. Our body speaks to us about how it feels, what it wants, and what it no longer wants; meanwhile, based on an intellectual calculation of what is possible and convenient, we decide what to do and what not to do. There, the autonomy of the conscious individual is absorbed, limited, and endowed by the given potentialities of the outside world, the environment, the earth, and the conceptual and communitarian framework where the individual is nested.

Circumstances determine what you can do, and from there, your conscious being makes the decisions on which activities to exercise or omit; the body follows and signals how much it can handle and how much it desires. The conscious being finds itself limited by that which extends beyond it, possessing a polarity that is both restrictive and empowering.

The principle of clear vision—interdimensional, transdisciplinary, and realistic regarding our situation—the mirror of a sound worldview and a healthy, awakened living being, leads us to contemplate the unfolding of the times, the environment, and the entanglement in which we may find ourselves involved. Today, that entanglement is massive: it is that of a civilization stuck in a state of self-predatory in-evolution destined to extinguish itself. Our environment does not suffer from temporary difficulties that simply pass and go away. There is an escalation of problems and a radicalized confinement toward a fragile dependence on systems that cannot continue much longer without breaking. There is an economy of destruction, based on the extraction and destruction of peoples, landscapes, and feedback potential (water, air, earth, the elimination of toxins).

In Mexico, to give an example, as in other places, we are experiencing the implementation of surveillance systems designed to eventually allow for the total extinction and control of insurgent groups and criminal organizations; but also of dissent and opposition to official agendas and projects, no matter how harmful they may be. We are living through the perfection of totalitarian control systems, but to reach that point, we must first resolve something that has not been addressed from its conceptual roots: what is crime, and how do you face it?

Facing the Crime.

Regardless of what the technocratic oligarchy carries forward, today will resonate within us with the need to propose a deconstruction and a clear stance on what we find unjust and how to confront it. On one hand, we will have to learn to forgive and understand that in such a complex and stained world, no one can truly cast the first stone. Creating communities and tribes is a mechanism to resolve "otherness" and transcend the pasts of others. As long as we are nothing to one another—as long as it does not prejudice us that the person next to us is harmful to third parties—we will do nothing about it, as they are a stranger, an alienated being. The paradigm of "otherness" and consumer individualism imposed upon us automatically implies a tolerance born from the impossibility of intimately involving oneself in the life of anyone else. In contrast, when we are a tribe, the other matters to us, and what one does affects us all. Injustices are resolved not just by punishing and expelling, but by healing what led to the event in the first place, and forgiving the one who lovingly decides to redress the damage and not repeat it.

On the other hand, there are those who choose not to leave the individualistic paradigm and actively participate in activities that harm us. Often it is a matter of life and death, as is the case with water and the environment. Having a clear position and a plan of action to face these challenges is the work that today’s nawal puts on our table. We will not have time to resolve it all today. Tomorrow another process begins, but we will return here, to this same day, 260 days later, and whatever we did not want or could not face will still be pending, and it will be even more critical.

At this turning point, cutting away is not an act of violence, but of surgical discernment. It means separating the weeds of the parasitic system from the root of our own vitality. If we are unable to draw that line today, the surveillance system—whether digital or ancestral—will do it for us, turning our indecision into its raw material. Sovereignty is neither inherited nor received; it is reclaimed the moment we decide to stop being accomplices to "otherness" and assume responsibility for our own tribe. Time is running out for simulations: either we become the architects of our own healthy limitation, or we will be the prisoners of the limits imposed by those who only know how to harvest the pain of others. This choice is the only space of freedom left to us before the next cycle finds us even more vulnerable.

¡Aloha!
