Have you Ever been Swept Off Your Feet?

In both cases – whether the bubble was inflated with positive or negative energy – the participants in the bubble are being swept away further and further away from actual physical reality and start to see everything either ‘extremely negatively’ or ‘extremely positively’ – neither experience is grounded in reality – because the physical is neither positive or negative – it just is what it is.

Day 106: Structural Adjustment

Next we will be looking at some of the main conditions that are called for by the World Bank and IMF, These conditions have been placed in order to ‘assist’ the borrowing country in economic growth so that it will be able to pay off its debts.

Day 105: Human Liberties

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to believe that the right to be free is a right that is more important than any other right and must be protected at any and all cost. I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to entertain myself with an idea of absolute freedom that doesn't really exist in real life, because simply within the consideration that we live in a physical time-space reality implies limitations and thus not...

Day 101: True Care Knows no Compromise

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to take it for granted that doctors' handwriting is illegible. I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to think it's normal and acceptable that doctors' handwriting is illegible, even on medical prescriptions, thinking that doctors 'can't help but write in an illegible manner'. I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realise that that there can be serious consequences...
