This Week's Reflection

 

There are fundamental reasons why we continue to feel the impact of the seduction of thought in our everyday lives. Reasons hard-wired into us by 1.8m years of existing on a particular trajectory. And look at where that trajectory has got us!

 

In particular, over the last seven thousand years or so, our way of thinking has been coarsened into "me versus you", "us and them", into the false and destructive belief that life is a competition.

 

Lend your ear to this week's Podcast and re-imagine how life could be if we were to live in "The Land of Perfect Virtue". Lend a moment to yourself and consider how this is not just possible right now but is essential: fundamental to your wellbeing, our collective wellbeing.

 

As the most important person in your life, you have a responsibility to yourself. Taking that responsibility opens up a route towards the embracing of a more global responsibility that, whether we're prepared to admit it or not, falls upon our shoulders. That broader responsbility starts with your closest circle, those you love, those for whom you care. But, as someone may well have once said, we also need to love our enemies!

 

Life is not a competition. It is a joy to behold, an adventure to be experienced. An experience not to be missed. Forget the old way of thinking, leave the old world behind. There's not another moment to waste.
