TEACH IT - lesson 103 Good morning Family & Friends, Auto-correct humanity what a ludicrous thought! You all know how often that irritating auto-correct gets it wrong, even gets us into trouble sometime. No Im afraid there is no artificial machine that can replace the human capacity for creativity, humor & empathy which we need to be able to make connections with other human beings. The wonderful thing about this new technology is that it has opened up possibilities for connections between people all over the world. No longer are we limited to just the people in our own family & little village to shape & form our thinking of what is acceptable & possible. We can get new ideas & inspiration from many different sources, widen our horizons, co-operate to find solutions to challenges, learn from each other. The technology can also help us with mundane housekeeping tasks & if used properly could free us up to have more time for real conversation & interactions. Let us not blame the technology for our human shortcomings, pride, laziness, greed, jelousy, anger, lust & gluttony have been with us since the beginning of time & have pretty much managed to distract, trick & fool us forever. Many enlightened men & women have tried very hard to teach us different ways to temper these destructive emotions we all carry within us & most of us humans give at least lipservice to wanting to improve ourselves & become more caring, understanding & loving towards ourselves & others. But this striving to reach a higher consciousness is hard work & it also requires willingness to not only be honest with ourselves but we have to be willing to fully reveal & share our true selves with others. That is a tall order for people who have been afraid to look at each other naked since we first became aware that we were naked. As a matter of fact we have developed the art of hiding ourselves to never before seen extremes. Cosmetic surgery, fashion, make up, wigs, perfumes are all part of the masks we use to not reveal ourselves & our vulnerabilities. We reshape our outside to be appealing to others, acceptable & preferably a bit sharper than our competition. Our inside we keep under lock & key, burried so deep that some of us dont even realize what we are hiding deep down in our soul. When our emptiness finally catches up with us we seek quick fixes to our lonliness, depression & physical ailments brought on by our hectic lifestyle. How do we find our way back to first of all becoming one with ourselves & then allowing our one to merge with others until we have repaired all the broken connections in this world? My belief is that there are about as many ways to healing as there are people in this world. A good first step would be for us all to stop competing & trying to make everybody see & do everything our way & instead take time to listen, understand & accept each others experiences as is. Next we have to be willing to share our own experiences, feelings, hopes & fears, not because we are looking for advantage but because we are brave enough to reach out & touch each other. This kind of connections cannot be built by clicking a like button or posting a clever soundbite or quote. In other words it is time to get naked people! Now please dont take this litterally, I am not advocating more public nudity or orgies in the park. What I am trying to do is describe absolute honesty in our relationships. Can this be achieved? I want to believe it can because if we dont try something different than what we have been doing in the past we will not have a future. I pray that we will all have the courage to embrace each other & the discipline to stop pointing fingers & build ourselves up by tearing down our fellow human beings. Amen. Have a wonderful Friday. I ♥ U Blessings & Respect,, OT aka Sister Fletcher
