An Ending Of Hostilities :)

Our hearts and minds are sensitive treasures :) gentle and peaceful phenomena :) to be treated with the most delicate care :) Yet, by how many people, and how much of the time, are we treated with such delicate care?

When someone has a hostile attitude, in their feelings or thoughts, towards us it hurts us emotionally. It’s like someone mentally, psychologically, throwing knives towards our mind, our thoughts, our feelings. There’s an energy to that, and it’s not a nice energy, and we can feel it, whether we’re consciously aware or unconscious of it. That’s where the word ‘emotions’ comes from: ‘e-’ for ‘energy’ in ‘motion’. Even something as small as a hostile attitude, hostile thoughts or feelings alone, is like throwing energetic knives towards us, our emotions, our mind, our heart. We could call this a form of mental or emotional or psychological abuse. Many times, there’s clearly observable facial expressions and body language of hostility that similarly exudes a process that could be described as being like throwing mental and emotional knives at us too. This sort of thing exudes the psychology of threat. Because when someone loses control of their hostility, we don’t know what they could be capable of. And I’m still only talking about relatively latent hostility, expressed towards us through attitudes, thoughts, emotions, facial expressions and body language.

Let alone when someone starts putting hostile feelings into attacking words towards us. This is where abuse can extend from just emotional, mental or psychological abuse to include verbal abuse. The final step in the hostile cascade is when hostility and attack flies into action through harmful, attacking behaviours towards us, at which stage abusive and hostile, attacking attitudes and/or words can cascade into physical, sexual, financial, economic and/or medical abuses, as well as bullying and/or neglect.

How many people are going around in our world fearing hostility, fearing attack? Why are we scared of hostility and of getting attacked? It’s because it hurts, and it threatens to harm or even kill us…

Each one of these patterns of thinking bad thoughts, speaking bad words, and doing bad things, is harmful to the person who is infected with them, as well as to the people they are aimed at, and to our world in general as a whole. Thankfully :) with the Science of the Mind training and education programme :) I’m increasingly identifying these infectious disease processes that can enter our or anyone’s minds :) and curing them :) How is it that we can cure these terribly destructive forces out of our and other people’s minds? :) It’s by pursuing ‘care, not cure’ as a healing process :) Or rather, care is the cure :)

When people realise there are other options :) that work so much better than hostility :) so much better than attacking :) punishing :) seeking vengeance :) retribution :) exploiting :) deceiving :) being proud and conceited :) and so many other patterns that people can get into that harm themselves and others :) people can choose the better ways :) invest into the more effective solutions :) and grow their fair share of happiness :) health :) and real success :) And what are these better ways? :) Forgiveness :) is so much better :) than attack :) or hostility :) Letting go :) and forgetting :) about the bad stuff from the past :) is so much more effective :) at creating a happy :) healthy :) and successful :) life now :) than holding onto the bad stuff from the past, letting it fester like a putridity in our hearts, going rancid in our minds. Compassion :) and care :) work so much better than punishment, vengeance or retribution ever have or will :) Helping :) honesty :) and humility :) are so much healthier :) and happier :) than exploitation, deception, pride or conceit ever will be :)

Coming back to my original question at the beginning of this blog post :) By how many people, and how much of the time, are we treated with the sort of delicate care that’s needed by our hearts and minds for us to start growing, thriving and prospering in health, happiness and harmony? :) A lot of the time, it’s by perilously few people. And that’s why we have an epidemic of people who are suffering with illnesses in their minds, whose minds are unwell with what is termed ‘mental illness’, whether the affected individuals admit it or not. The truth is, everyone suffers with mental illness to some degree. The only difference between people is where they lie on the spectrum of unwellness in their mind. We could break it down into percentages to try to make a more concrete example by saying some people at the bottom end of the mental health spectrum might unfortunately have a mind and heart that’s less than 10% healthy, more than 90% of the time… while some people at the top end of the mental health spectrum might have a heart and mind that’s more than 90% healthy :) more than 90% of the time :) The difference comes down to how much time a person has received their fair share of opportunity to get treated with the sort of delicate care that causes health :)

This science is not about measuring and calculating where we’re at in terms of the health in our hearts. It’s not about comparing or competing. It’s not about conceit or pride. But I’ve just included a bit of measuring in the above example to try to convey the essence of what I’m talking about and getting at. What I’m explaining is that any one of us :) beautiful :) lovely :) good :) human beings :) can get infected with hostility, and attacking processes in our minds and hearts. And virtually anyone can get free of these harmful processes too :) I’m also writing this blog post today to emphasise the fact that it’s really important that more people gain access to the compassionate, delicate care that’s necessary for a human mind and heart to get healthy and happy :) and that they share more time with these healthy processes :) soaking and absorbing it into their hearts :) and minds :) so they can end the influence of the so many hostilities and attacking patterns that have been getting handballed around among people in the past and up to this present time.

One of the harmful patterns that’s been getting passed around among our lovely peoples on this planet far too much has been exploitation. Exploitation is the cause of a huge amount of symptoms and hostilities among our peoples. By ending exploitation – i.e. the past tendency of people to want to take advantage of each other, or gain some sort of benefit at the expense of someone else – we can end so many hostilities :) Ending exploitation involves decentralisation of power :) empowerment of each and every human being on the planet :) and uplifting people out of powerless dependency :) into self-sufficient :) autonomous :) independence :) Ending exploitation involves educating :) and training :) our peoples :) in the most important processes of all :) that is :) the use of the freedom :) happiness :) health :) and independence they gain :) through their healthy process of empowerment :) for the purposes of giving back to others :) for the purposes of selflessness and the greater good :) for the purposes of interdependence :)

This morning, I’ve just been sharing :) with the WhatsApp community :) (which is an online component of the support group I run out of my office) :) one method I can see that has a potential for the empowerment of all individuals on the planet, which is called microgreens systems :) If you search online :) you can learn about it :) and see how it offers you :) and most people on the planet :) the potential :) to grow our own food :) That’s a nice self-sufficiency right there :) That’s a nice empowerment :) and independence :) Interestingly :) also this morning :) I watched a video one of my best friends sent me about a really generous restaurant owner in Wuhan :) in China :) who’s stayed in an area that’s infected with coronavirus and is preparing hundreds if not thousands of meals for the people in the hospitals :) at a low charge :) each day :) not to make a profit :) but purely to help :) and be generous :)

Now I’m going to finish up on this blog post for today :) by coming back to my original question at the start of the post again :)

By how many people, and how much of the time, are we treated with the sort of delicate care we need, to be able to grow, thrive and prosper? :) And I’m going to offer this answer :) That we don’t really need many people at all :) to treat us how we deserve :) Begin with ourselves :) in our relationship with our own selves :) let’s make it a really compassionate and caring relationship we have with ourselves :) and extend this to the people who are most important to us :) our dearest loved ones and family members :) whom we share our residence with :) and closest relationships with :) If we can do just this much :) and keep increasing the amount of time we make it compassionate and loving :) towards ourselves :) and the most important people in our lives :) we should start thriving :) and achieve an end of hostilities :) as well as attacking and exploitative patterns :) at least most of the time :) and at least for the main part of our experiences in our life and world :)

If more and more people can achieve just this much :) We’ll achieve much more ending of hostilities :) attack :) and exploitation :) on our planet :) And nice things like microgreens systems :) and generosity like that restaurant owner in Wuhan :) can help us all along the path of empowerment also :)

Ending the hostilies :) that affect ourselves as an individual :) as well as others :) and all of us as a group :) is so important :) As well as replacing the hostilities :) with healthy :) harmonious :) habits :)

Have a great day :) week :) year :) and life :)
