When bringing these
relationships to myself, I start to understand the system as myself, and the
patterns "outside" of me (that my eyes see in this world) can also be
found within me in thoughts, feelings, personal decisions, ideas, resistances,
manias, and the relationships between the different organs in my body, for
example.
For some time now I
have been associating wars to a cancer that destroys everything around it, in a
battle between the "good" and the "bad" cells, taking place
in our physical bodies/in this world. The Cancer (ANGER) that is manifested in
wars between human beings is inside of us, because we are not OK with ourselves
and we don't even know where our thoughts come from, where the images from the
mind come from, where the repetitions from the past come from, how judgments are created and how emotions limit us. Consequently, all the rest mirrors the
Creators: politics are not OK, the economic systems are not OK, the education
system is not OK, the diplomatic system is not OK, the family system is not OK,
the religious systems are not OK, and the world is in a KO state.
Recently, I heard G. Edward Griffin explaining Cancer and what is wrong with the body that causes the cancer, in a speech away from the orthodox treatment. While this alternative approach looks at finding the cause of the cancer, the orthodox looks at removing the organ affected by it. As it is explained, in a tumor a typical ratio is 80/20 of non-cancer cells and the cancer-cells. Killing the body tissue through radiation is committing a massacre because both the "bad" cells and the "good" cells will be affected - in fact, the cancer cells become more resistant to the radiation and the non-cancer part is eliminated. As a result, when a patient receives the "thrilling" news that the tumor was reduced by 80%, all that happened was that the tumor got rid of the non-cancer part, not the 20% that is pure cancer, and it spreads.
I immediately saw the parallel of the ratio 80/20 from the Pareto principle, that applied to international politics describes poverty, whereby 80% of the world resources are owned by 20% of the population. Just like in medicine, we need a new approach to the phenomena of poverty that looks at its causes, rather than justifying war to keep the status quo.
Still using the explanation given by the Doctor, it is understood that Cancer is not caused by something, but is caused by the lack of something. This deficiency in the body system is creating a breakdown in the electrical/chemical systems that consequently is having interference in the natural replacement of the body cells. (If you want to know more about the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that cause Cancer, listen to his speech)
When looking at poverty, a similar pattern is unveiled: Poverty is the Lack of Something in the World System that is creating a Breakdown in the Economic system that consequently is having interference in meeting the natural needs that all human beings require to live. In this case, we don't need to be doctors to know what this "Something" is. If there wasn't a lack of Money, or a lack of Equality in the world systems, the management of the resources would be done in a way that guarantees that no system causes the death of a fellow human being.
I am not saying that the systems are the problem, because we need these systems: just like in Cancer, both cancer-cells and non-cancer cells are required in the healing process! So all the systems in the world, including the Economic system, have the potential to be part of the healing process, as long as they work OK in the name of Every Body.
The same way that we expect that modern doctors to not ignore the chemical deficiencies behind Cancer, it is also expected that modern diplomats look at what is causing the failure of negotiations, what is really causing wars, what are the psychological patterns and what are the economic forces behind the political faces.
Thinking of the world systems as something separated from ourselves does not help either. Speaking for myself, when looking at the immensity of the diplomatic system there is still a "feeling" of overwhelmingess within me that I have explained in my previous post. However, when bringing the systems to myself, I start understanding how I am actually participating in the exact same patterns of anger, of fear, of inner-conflict, of conflict towards another, of reactions, of competition, of impatience, of selfishness, of greed and of blame. From here, the solutions start to come to light: in common sense I see that if I created such a mess inside me, then I am the only one responsible to help myself. Also, in self-honesty I see that I do have the power/responsibility to change myself.
How would the world change for a better place for ALL if decisions were made in common sense, in equality, in all-win-situations, in cooperation and unconditionally?

The apparent idea
that world politics are separated from us is an illusion and a lie. Believing
that we are not responsible for the wars that exist (despite the fact that
these are shown on TV as being "too far away") it's an indicator of
brainwashing, ignorance and human blindness. Interestingly, this belief has
been used (and abused) by all of us: firstly, the idea that world politics are
just "too complex" has allowed the majority of the people to give
their power away believing was not capable of such a "higher" task of
governing themselves; as a consequence,
those that are educated about the system and know how to manoeuvre it, accepted
the power with a price, because apparently they are doing the job that the
majority is not willing or capable of doing! From here, we can ask ourselves why is that not
even the technological progresses have helped to change such inequality of
power and responsibility, when it is clear that none of the "parties"
(majority and minority) are doing a good job? Is it possible that the human
mind of separation, self-interest and survival, just like a cancer, has
contaminated all the man-made systems?
When Humanity
realises this, the separation that exists become pathetic and we see that there
is no workaround rather than changing our minds/world systems and becoming One-Unity.
So, as described
above, the human is the systems, we are the systems inside-out: the human created the systems, the
human participates in the systems and the human has the responsibility to
recreate the systems.
I
have been realising that only when we look at things as what they really are,
free from self-interest, we are capable of looking at real practical solutions.
This means that in my Journey to Life blog I must not look at things in the
Mind (in its positive and negative polarities, judgments, perceptions,
beliefs) because at trying to solve things in the Mind, one never realises that
one is not directing one's actual real world and working on/with solutions in
the real world, as Sunette Spies illustrates across her blog. The Mind is capable of making things
look better than what they are, or making things look bigger than what they
really are, and this is how we have been manipulating and sabotaging our
existence and all the systems that enable our presence on Earth.
