Visions for a More Beautiful World -- A Wake-up Call

I want to share my conversation with Andre Duqum on his podcast, Know Thyself. Title is: Visions For A More Beautiful World: A Wake Up Call. His sincerity and intelligence brought through some deep material. Excerpts and timestamps below.

Here are some excerpts:

“All that we see today that troubles us is the expression of a story that I call separation. Every innovation, every technological revolution, all of these were a step into greater separation. Every time that it gets uglier, every time that there's a new crisis, we are offered a choice. Consciousness constructed this realm with all of its hellish attributes in order for us to grow. Now the return journey begins. To deprogram from that way of thinking, you have to traverse a territory of bewilderment, of everything I thought I knew was wrong. Who I thought I was, I am not really. And I don't know what's on the other side of it. This return journey home, it's not something that happens through a moment of enlightenment, and then we're living in Utopia. It's going to take many, many generations. But there's no guarantee that we're going to go in the right direction. We have to make a choice.”

“When you step into the faith of: I am in the right place at the right time, and I know what to do, it becomes more and more true. When we live in a story that the events of the world are the random result of physical forces, matter is dead and mechanical, and there's no spirit, it becomes true, and the allies of synchronicity that would otherwise be available abandon us and we are marooned in a soulless universe. But there's part of us that maintains a tether to a much bigger reality, and the more that we trust that knowledge, “I am in the right place at the right time with the right gift and I know what to do,” it activates it and it becomes more and more true and we end up living in a very different world.”

“Most of what needs to be done is very humble. It's invisible. No one will ever celebrate it. You might not ever get thanked. I'm thinking of the single moms, I'm thinking of the daycare workers, thinking of the home health workers, the people who go into these jobs, and maybe they're getting $15 an hour. They're not getting paid to love the children, but they do anyway. They bring something extra to it. That kid grows up having received just a little bit more love and passes it on; therefore the world has a little less pain. The healing process could take thousands of years. And so these invisible contributions are active on that timescale. They may not win you fame and fortune and recognition, but they are equally important. In a thousand years, our descendants will be thanking us, and they won't just be thanking the big visible people. They'll be thanking especially the ones who did the humble work.”
