Here are a few notes from a vid montage that I just watched:
- I don't want that feeling in my stomach that I get when I know that people are being exploited.
- We live in the realm of the senses. But reality is beyond what we feel, hear, smell, touch, see (e.g. we can only hear within a certain decibel range, see within a certain spectrum of light); what if there are only energies out there that we are oblivious to?
- we are just a blob of atoms within infinite space and eternal time; the physical body is not who we are
- when we fill our head with superficial information (e.g. celebrity gossip) we forget about what's important
- look within for the divine -- there is limitless potential for bliss through connection to other things
- we overemphasize the individual: our culture promotes and rewards primal desires (greed, selfishness, lust) which cause us to exist in opposition to each other and leave us exploitable by corporations
- the self is a temporal illusion; by focusing on our individualism (which is transitory) we are losing the empathetic connection we have to the earth and to all living things
- what's important are the things we all share -- love, unity, togetherness
- I'm happy when I'm being nice to other people
- the centre of your being is love, compassion, tolerance
