I love this one: „No political ideology is worth sacrificing love at the altar of tribalism. No ideology will bring us closer to one another or to the heart of what truly matters. In a world where everyone is wrong to some degree, who will have the humility to acknowledge their limited perspective and honor the sacred journey of growth we share?“
As the only reason to be here on earth is to be love! I very much like your writing.
Thanks Lluvias! This is a great piece which brings each of us into the present, to escape our entrenched habits, abandon faith in old world dissolving realities, while embracing and creating exciting new experiences and organization.
You say that the West is cheering on Israel; you must be living on a different planet than me! Groups of masked hooligans are harassing Canadian Jews, shooting at their schools and synagogues and calling for death. I'd rather not hear that kind of cheering, thank you!

Thank you for your input, Steve. Sharing perspectives often sparks valuable insights. From my perspective, radicalization exists on both sides of this conflict, acting as a regrettable reaction to deeper, systemic issues. The "masked hooligans" in Canada seem to be mirroring the attitudes that many Israelis exhibit toward Palestinians, perpetuating a cycle where hatred breeds more hatred. If only the teachings of Christ—rooted in love, compassion, and forgiveness—were more deeply embraced by those who need them most!
Thank you for your soulful work. Much needed messages to digest. I have a very wise friend and spiritual guide who reminded me this week that in every interaction there is a lesson. To remain in the now use this affirmation as you choose your lesson. "I surrender to the betterment of all."
Wow Lluvias Your writing was so refreshing and lovely to read and ingest. My photographic brain was creating an image with each paragraph! Do let me know if I can create a visual (s) to augment your writing..... Anytime dear brother!

Thank you for this thought-provoking piece, Lluvias. I love your mention of Gandhi. Courage, neutrality, willingness, acceptance, reason, love, joy and peace. An open heart.
Nice article! One thing I can add is about 'money'. It affects everyone from the beggar in the street to the CEO. But as we will likely all experience less of it in the coming years, I want to add a sober element to consider.
In a debt based system, where in Canada we transitioned in 1974 to fully renting our (temporary) money supply at interest from the New York banks - our governments or we as individuals, needed to borrow exponentially more and more every year, just to stay afloat. It is a mirage to think that any Ron Paul style of government could have kept a functioning economy going without 'printing money'. Unfortunately that was the only option to avoid a crushing Depression, from 1975 onwards.
Our current financial system is built upon a temporary currency, that always is disappearing to the New York banks. With the devil's bargain that we are stuck with an exponentially rising and permanent debt. People like Carney will swoop in and say, Gosh, we just have to liquidate Canadians assets (bail-in's). All because our currency is rented instead of created by in our case, the Bank of Canada

Thank you Judith!
This is a wonderful writing and should be hung in every school, and every church in the land.
I'm flattered Ruth, thanks!

Amen to that, Robin! "I surrender to the betterment of all"—those words gave me genuine goosebumps.
