Our modern societal institutions are not designed to help us learn to live in the present moment. Excessive complexities have become the norm, resulting in scattered minds and widespread exhaustion. It doesn't have to be like this. We can let go of trying to control the wind and start practicing adjusting our sails.
Philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti said, “One is never afraid of the unknown; one is afraid of the known coming to an end.” Seemingly paradoxically, home organizing consultant Marie Kondo makes the same point by saying, “When we really delve into the reasons for why we can’t let something go, there are only two: an attachment to the past or a fear for the future.”
Genuine progress can’t stem from decisions made out of anxiety because the dysfunction will only change forms. As long as compartmentalization is the standard, we are blocked off from recognizing and integrating unified wholeness.
It's the dawning of a new beginning and the misunderstood outcasts of the world will lead the way. Resources such as those available at rootsofwhy.com can serve as supportive guides during this era of transition and transformation.
