RaieParticipantHi my name is Raie. I have been interested in the meaning of life a long time. I can even remember being a child and wondering about all of it. It’s been a long time since then and not all the roads I went down trying to figure it out ended up being very pleasurable 🙂 In particular full-time serve and ministry in the religious world which ended 10 years ago.

All I knew was raising someone else’s kids and taking care of an adult, so, it’s no surprise that when I became an adult I looked for other people to take care of rather than other people to interact with.

We can move forward on the path of light and change/transformation by retaining our curiosity as opposed to defensiveness. Curiosity/interest as an adopted attitude gives us more access to our frontal lobe from a physiology standpoint. Curiosity is also naturally good-natured, Inquisitive, and listens. Whereas defensiveness is rather quickly prickly And doesn’t listen. In addition, (conditionally I state) that being listened to is the single most valued form of demonstrated respect universally. In fact, hearing yourself give an answer is the only conviction that really has staying power. I.e. you arrived at it, therefore you believe it. When other people listen to us we hear ourselves answer our questions in a way that has profound revelatory and transformative power. By allowing people to answer their own questions when we listen we allow them this revelation. We can continue on the path of light and transformation also by understanding the value of the individual within the unit as presented in the organic solidarity model of sociology which states that an optimally operating society operates much like an optimally operating body, not with each cell being clones of one another, but rather by having a singular goal which differentiated parts work together to acceive namely the health of the organism. Conversely, it is by the differentiation (Setting a side of ) the individual self/cell for a differentiated purpose which fulfills the singular organic need of the body. Mechanical solidarity is defined by the type of solidarity that works by making each individual cell a clone of the other. In essence, rather than having a human being with differentiated parts you have a society that functions as a huge eye or a huge hand. Which is commonly termed a monster. If we look on our fellows with an outlook of mechanical solidarity we will always feel a competitive drive to make others perform at the same level as us and in the same way. And this way we become more defensive rather than more curious. we will also fill a drive to conform under the mechanical solidarity model and rather than require of our fellows that they serve the same purpose, we require that they serve it in the same way. In this way, we find a counterproductive way of dealing with the ego which is to annihilate all competition. Conversely, by looking with curiosity upon our fellows as part of a greater organism which we all serve we can have a healthy sort of pride. Additionally, adherence  to mechanical solidarity is a perversion of the understanding of the continuance of the bed or the essence of the bed and it’s continuing.  In that the continuation of the bed encapsulated the idea that various seeds of wheat all go through the same stages and express a same essence undying But have individual dying parts namely the stocks of weeks. If we put our self in the place of the stock of wheat we could say why are all the other stocks of wheat not acting exactly the same. However, it is deceptive to use this model wholesale for the divining and respecting individual Purpose in relation to the organism Adam. For in this the individuals more like the cells within the wheat, as well as an individual stock in and of itself. But each thing must be looked at separately to avoid defensiveness.

Rather than understanding the differentiated cells with in the wheat more represent the individual humans although we are microcosms as well. understanding that differentiating cells work within the unit for the same purpose without serving the same role .</p> - AuthorReplies
