Exploring Global Consciousness & Decolonization of the Mind
This blog embarks on a journey inward, inviting you to explore your own depths. While I don’t claim to possess ultimate truth, what I offer here is my truth, my subjective reality.
The world exists as you perceive it. It’s not merely what you see, but how you see it. It’s not just what you hear, but how you hear it. And it’s not solely what you feel, but how you feel it. – Rumi
It acts as a reflective mirror, encouraging contemplating oneself. My goal is to openly share my journey of creating self-awareness, recognizing challenges, and overcoming them. Through this blog, I explore the beauty of surrender, empowerment, and proactive decision-making. Wisdom is depicted as the intuition guiding us to discern the best approach for each individual situation.
I reserve the freedom to shift perspectives and reconstruct aspects of my mindset as needed. Remaining overly attached to convictions, I believe, isn’t healthy. New information should prompt awareness and a readiness to adapt.
Conceptually, this blog synthesizes personal experiences, mental health, metaphysics, belief systems, scientific findings, philosophical concepts, and religious insights. While the primary emphasis lies on the psychological, philosophical, and metaphysical aspects, it also encompasses a political dimension. Though it starts with a focus on the individual, it broadens its scope to examine the wider societal implications, transitioning from the ‘I’ to the ‘us,’ and exploring global ramifications stemming from individual actions.
The ultimate aim is to chart a “Way Forward” through a series of interconnected entries, a process requiring time and dedication. This journey necessitates shifting from a self-centered mindset to a more connected and collective consciousness.
Here, I intentionally draw from a diverse array of influences encountered on my journey: music, TV shows, movies, books, quotes, scientific publications, and more. These disparate sources contribute to the cohesive thread running through the blog.
Two figures consistently resurface: Jalāl al-Dīn Muhammad Rumi, whose timeless wisdom spans centuries, and Gilles Deleuze, a pioneering French philosopher. Deleuze’s collaboration with Pierre-Félix Guattari, a French psychoanalyst and social activist, further enriches this intellectual tapestry. Both Rumi and Deleuze-Guattari have left an indelible mark on my mind, continuously shaping and challenging my perspectives.
Amidst the flux of life, one might wonder: is the journey towards self-discovery futile? When perpetual change is the only constant, how does one grasp onto something that persistently slips through their fingers?
In a world characterized by uncertainty across various domains, I maintain a firm belief that part of my purpose is finding myself.
Self-awareness plays a crucial role in surfacing patterns from the subconscious and bringing them into consciousness. This step is pivotal, allowing for the examination, acceptance, or modification of these patterns, particularly when they exhibit self-destructive tendencies.
It would be hybris to think, that I am able to change the world by myself, however there is simply no excuse not to work on being the change, you want to see in the world.
Rumi captures this notion: “Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”
Personal Development & Collective Action
While the goal of personal development is a cornerstone of this blog, it is essential to recognize that our journey inward ultimately lays the foundation for something much greater: the creation of the “HiveGeist.” This concept embodies a shared awareness and collective intelligence, enabling us to face global challenges like the climate crisis together.
Personal development and collective action are not mutually exclusive; they are complementary paths that converge towards a common goal. By fostering self-awareness, resilience, and proactive decision-making within ourselves, we strengthen the very fabric of our communities. This interconnectedness is crucial for addressing the multifaceted and urgent issue of climate change.
Imagine a future where our individual growth fuels collective resilience:
Each step we take towards self-improvement contributes to a broader shift from “I” to “us,” creating a synergistic force capable of tackling the climate crisis. “HiveGeist” represents this unified effort, where every person’s journey adds to the collective capacity for innovation, empathy, and sustainable action.
Your personal journey is a vital thread in the tapestry of our shared future:
By exploring and transforming your inner world, you are not only enhancing your own life but also contributing to the collective strength needed to combat the climate crisis. Together, we can build a resilient and harmonious world – personal development and global consciousness go hand in hand.
Unifying Threads: Bridging Divisions with HiveGeist
Across the diverse fabric of global divisions, unifying threads emerge, calling us to do good and foster unity among people.
HiveGeist offers insights that can bridge spirituality, religions, and science. I believe that embracing the wisdom of various spiritual traditions and religions, along with insights from science, can help us address global challenges like climate change.
Its faces and forms are a multitude. HiveGeist is about fostering a collective spirit while encouraging individual expression.
Use it to unify people and build bridges. Share it with your loved ones or anyone you believe should see it.
I am not afraid of having failed, I am afraid of not having tried.
