“As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.” -Maya Angelou

It’s a throw away today. We’re gonna throw this one away. Even though we do have to record one because we like this experiment No way. We’re being totally for being openly honest. Maybe at first that looks like a a redundant, open and honest, are supposed to be synonyms. Openly honest what’s the word? I am looking for Yeah, they’re redundant. It’s like calling a a crow black saying a black crow. It can be fun though. It’s, it depends how new it is, you know, if we go and we Google openly honest, and there’s a page on the gram or, or maybe there’s a band called openly honest, you know, you know, then the originality rating is lower. So anyways we’re being openly honest

We have a very articulate imagination for how to live life and how to relate to other people and to relate our story to be relating with the world to have a relation based on relating our stories back and forth If relation plural are the goal and the root of relationship of a relationship is the verb to relate to be relating to be in constant to be in a state of constant relating of our stories back and forth, back and forth. Okay? Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Okay. So let’s say that the ultimate experience in life is this really Shift with oneself. But then an even higher relationship is that with another person, partnership and maybe even a lifelong partnership as it naturally evolves without forcing anything but combining two heads and two hearts, two forms of creative output expression, energy the collaboration is far more powerful The the teamwork is always going to be more powerful than one person working on their own always. One person can only work on their own for so long until their ideas must be tested and played with in the out in the outer world. Let this not discount the importance of the inner world first will always be paramount because the evasion of an unconditional inner world that is free from judgment or harassment? Or ridicul? Cool. Okay, okay, I’m here. Okay. Okay. So thinking about that lifelong partnership and the ultimate question is, you know, at the end of the day what are what is the plan, or the project or multiple projects being shared over, you know, a certain timeline to achieving certain goals every week, month, quarter year, multiple years depending on how large the project is. Let’s say you want to start a school or a company of any kind That’s like we’re talking years we’re talking a roadmap with the intention of of it existing for the rest of your days as a collective as a pair as a creative duo. So, again, there’s always gonna be more power in the two hearts and heads than the one heart and head. At the end of the day is are you helping each other? Are you helping each other, get to where you want to go? And for that to happen, you have to have certain conversations about the partnership and what it entails. And you got to be able to go big picture perspective to say, Oh, this is what I want. One year, two years, three years, five years, 10 years, six months, three months. This is what I want. And is this something that you also want, and then you have to listen to what they want. And ask yourself if you want that. And a lot of the times, you know, the goal is shared, where if you’re collaborating, there’s a shared project that you’re both contributing to, and supporting, day in and day out. That could be you’re building a house, you’re making a company You’re starting a family. You’re making a film. These are the bigger forms of projects. But you always have to ask again there’s like this idea of work life balance, which could also be considered art work, life balance. But then they’re the same thing within this polar unity and it’s all one life, which we’re talking about here. So, but then you can think about it one level deeper and say Well, if, if work is just a part of my life and artwork is just a part of my life and the balance, what is what could be a deeper truth to what we’re trying to balance here in our contemporary age of 20 with the Internet, and I, and I think you can say that you want to balance your public life with your private life. And that is you know, outdoors versus the home. And now that’s becoming a little bit complicated because of Corona. So a lot of us So the boundaries are being blurred between our public life. And sometimes our character, these characters can be different, although I don’t think that that is the goal. I don’t think that you want a private persona and a public persona. That sounds to me kind of exhausting. So, you know, within these partnerships between any type of collaborators, that can be artists collaborating, or companies collaborating. Again, you got to decide like what is what are we working on in secret? For a little while, and what are we working on? What are we working on that’s, that’s public. Because I think once your ideas you know, you can’t keep your family private forever because they grow up each member of the planet you could say the planet family, but even your are small families. kids grow up. And they are at a very early age now with with our technology and our our communication platforms. They are communicating in a public way now earlier than we ever worked so and that will that will definitely happen. at a faster rate. That’s just technology. But considering Yeah, everything eventually sort of sheds its skin and becomes a public life. Eventually, because you have less and less fear over time, of society and of you, but more importantly, less fear of your family and the judgments which come from within. And those are the those are the, the most psychologically painful. And that’s why if you don’t have unconditional and conditional discussions and dialogues about what an unconditional family are, what Unconditional Love is an open honesty is then this, this will this will create for secrets. Which will then over time, we’ll forget their secrets and then it’ll just fail. Stir as a, as an untold truth inside of us. And it turns into all sorts of illness. So anyways, shout out to the communication revolution, also known as the social revolution, also also known as the social Renaissance. And that, again has to do with the internet and our structures, systems, industries, institutions, foundations of not just our communities and societies but of our family. So that’s, you know, that’s the smallest team that we have is that family unit. So that’s where a lot of his stuff begins. And I’m Fortunately, and also Fortunately, there is family trauma, which are family issues, which for a lot of us, those come from childhood. So one could say that the fun diagnosis is childhood, post traumatic stress. C PTSD, which also in some circles, stands for complex, but complex is a very simple term. Childhood is a more complex term. So, if we want if we want to relate our ideas in more detailed manner, we would say just that, that, you know, a lot of our trauma is, is not just complex, it’s childhood. That’s the origin. So and then obviously the big picture here is where one fears the outsiders and that can be you can fear either society or you can fear either your family and that’s a really tough thing to look at because for a lot of us, for a lot of us, it’s our family. And that’s why, you know, holidays are so difficult for many of us. But there can there can be a reconciliation, a restitution, a reconstruction and Yeah a reconstruction which is also a creative substitute for resistance. Your existence as an oppressed person, on the entire spectrum of being opposed. Your existence is not your existence is not so much science as it is a daily reconstruction and you’re doing that simply by being alive because your mind and your thoughts every day as they’re evolving every day, in positive and negative mutations But I think that’s probably the the most important thing is to be aware of that. You know, to be aware of your language and to challenge and overthrow certain languages that sound fear based, like resistance, you know the opposite of resistance is acceptance. acceptance is a much kinder word and synonym. Then tolerance. Tolerance is fear based acceptance. Full open, unconditional acceptance is what we’re getting out here. But when you are oppressed, you think the only thing you know, the only thing you can do is resist the oppression and you’re right for what you’re actually doing. doing is you’re actually accepting your truth. That’s what resistance is. It’s an acceptance. It’s one person accepting their cultural, historical truth. And you’re not resisting. You’re just fully accepting that background that a lot of you know, the world refuses to acknowledge. So, I think that’s the meditation that taught meditation for today. You’re accepting yourself and the accepting of yourself is the resistance of the system. But more so than that. It is the Revolution and the alternative and the substitute to assist them in Australia. Sure, and a foundation and an operation and an organism that is just not working. That is that is creating poverty and creating inequality and creating injustice. So what do we do as artists, activists, every single day we think these thoughts about the pursuit of structural equality, to fight for justice, to fight for freedom. And to define these and to redefine these in our own way. I think that’s the most important thing is like, read because the language the words are changing, the times are mutating, and the words are changing because the people are changing because the environmental emotional, psychological, financial landscapes are constantly, every single day they’re there. They’re a moving target to understand. So, you know, but words don’t change that fast. We just have to kind of be aware that they are changing. That’s it for today. Thank you for tuning in to the daily 10 minutes. This one looks like 20 minutes, shower thoughts in some in some times 1000 words a day is the goal. And this is a talk meditation. You can do it at the keyboard or the typewriter. But it’s a lot harder, I think, to put on the internet to upload to publish. But I think every day when you’re publishing and I Uploading, even if it’s privately, you can do it privately. Just have it in a place, you know, that people can access. If you’re, you know, accidentally. If you have an accidental death, you know, because that journal is going to be important for your, your, your your kids, your grandkids, your great grandkids, your great great grandkids and all your cousins that you are connected to that you’re linked. Whether whether you like it or not, there’s this big sphere. And you’re in, you’re unconditionally connected to these people. And also you’re connected to people you don’t even know who exist as a part of the family web and that takes some research to figure out exactly, you know, more so what that web looks like to uncover, you know the truth and the history of like 100 years ago, 200 300 400 500 citizens have a you know, All this stuff to ask around and to relate these stories and to listen and relate, you know, to regale, you could say regaling stories as well. And there’s also people that you know you’re going to pass this story of yours relate your life concept you know the memoirs, the autobiography, the data points on your timeline. You’re gonna pass down those ideas and emotions and memories and dreams to people you haven’t even met yet. So that’s that’s pretty cool in itself as well. We’re way over the time. wasting water. We got to do our scrub a dub dub. Peace, peace. In the Middle East east of your mind in time, there is no me only we and we are the world However, if there’s an AI vendors are you and I love you forever. Ciao for now.
