A work in progress who studies and practices ancient wisdom that reveals what it means to be fully human. I share this journey, humbly, warts and all, to assist others who may also want to know all of themselves to thrive in life

Sadly, lots of confusion exists in civil society about the meaning of
-being a man
-being a success
-survival
-leader
-being fully human
-purpose
-fulfilment
-meaning
-joy

Precious few dare to study ancient wisdom - then practice it - to know this knowledge of life and Self. Opportunity knocks.

Thank you for all of this insight, Emma. I cannot participate in Substack given their choices. (I also challenge their "free speech" stand, knowing it is likely more a decision favouring profits.) I will dig into your excellent research and decide what's next - again, thank you.

Thank you - did not know this and was about to sign up with them. Now I will search for an alternate.

Mr. Murray is in an impossible position, or he is an assassin. If I recall, he joined recently. Can't help wonder if he knew his mandate at time of hiring.

~Perhaps a suitable message for these days~

May we learn to manage our senses, patterns, and conditioning so we may be able to rise above, see beyond and know reality.

For your contemplation

To what degree do social media posts unconsciously scream,

β€œSee me

Hear me

Value me?”

To what degree do social media posts consciously, constructively contribute to the greatest good?

Take great care

FOR YOUR CONTEMPLATION

~SCRUTINIZE STARS, INSPECT IDOLS, INVESTIGATE INFLUENCERS~

Or, question everything.

How?

Always use universal values to ensure you are aligned with them. (A practice I call rounding up)

First among them: do no harm.

~The obligation of moral revolution~

β€œA moral revolution begins with self knowledge: to know what it means to be fully human. Otherwise we trip over our unconscious conditioning repeatedly, often expressed as incessant fears and desires, such as power, fame and greed.
