This podcast about agriculture. It shows how we can build a self-sufficient way of feeding the world, and how meat production is not necessarily bad, it just needs to be done the right way.

Thoughts and realizations:

We all have a framework of the world that we identify with, and every time it gets questioned, we suffer greatly because our life gets questioned.

Depression is a narrowing of our framework of the world, to the point where almost everything that happens to us questions it. So, almost everything that happens to us, sends us on a deep life crisis.

Healing is the process of widening your framework of the world.

The end of the healing process is enlightenment.

Enlightenment is having no framework of the world, so, whatever happens to us, it is accepted as it is.

Nothing that happens has the power of questioning our life, nothing has the power of affecting us.

Even thought you accept everything, it does not mean you become complacent or indifferent, it just means now you don’t experience the suffering of the past.

Our framework is a product of our past preconditioning. Our own past, not the things that happened to us, but the way we reacted to those things.

Being enlightened, or having no framework, means that our past no longer controls our present.

.

When the framework disappears, our goals will change, our idea of success will change, so we will seek different things. You wont stop seeking, you will just seek different things differently.

Depression is a narrowing of your framework

Healing is the widening

Enlightenment is having none

___

Once the search is for something to search

And the way is designed along the way

 

Once the seeker stops seeking

And the watcher becomes the watched

 

Once the outside is also within

And the self becomes everything

 

The peace will be so peaceful

It will embrace anything
