The Real Revolution

Human consciousness has remained the same since the beginning of human awareness.

It has not changed in its quality for millennia. 

We may look like we have advanced externally but we haven't transformed internally.

We are still greedy, fearful, devisive, spiteful, envious, petty, tribal, violent, and burning with desire. 

Our ancestors 100,000 years ago had these same problems. 

Much has changed in 100,000 years, but why not these qualities of our minds?

We most certainly have positive attributes, but our human problems of war, starvation, overpopulation, nationalism, fear - these all stem from a structure within the human mind that we haven't yet let go of.

All the political and religious systems have not yet found a way to end these.

The real revolution is to see these at work within ourselves and end them.

The real revolution is within.

Freedom From All Of It

I'm doing this exercise:

Be totally focused on this moment. 

No thoughts for the future.

No thoughts for the past. 

No thoughts for the moment.

Feel. 

Breathe.

Relax.

Breathe deeper.

Repeat.

Peace

Peace is not the space in between two wars.

Peace is eternal.

The sound of people laughing, children playing. 

Beautiful music. Singing. Birds.

The gentle hum of life.

These are the sounds of peace. 

The greatest gift of all.

What has happened to humanity for it to become so lost?

What has to end for peace to be?

Why isn't every breath focused on returning to peace?

Not peace tomorrow, or next week, or next year.

Peace now. In this moment.

Forever.
