EP 65 How Faith Creates Miracles

07/24/22 • 23 min

Is it possible to keep our faith in spite of all the dark moments we experience? What is faith? What can we base it on an how can we use it to have a beautiful life?
We start off by listening to a part of the tango “Tormenta” (Storm, in English), arranged by Carlos di Sarli featuring Mario Pomar, as a poetic expression for the lack of faith in life.
"...Yo siento que mi fe se tambalea,
que la gente mala, vive
¡Dios! mejor que yo..."
In English:
"...I feel that my faith falters,
that bad people live,
God! better than me..."
We note that, as we spoke in the previous episode, the systems of our world are set up in a way that favours people who are not ethical actors.
However, we also note that we are actually not set up in that way. We actually prefer love over what we call negative emotions. In wishing to live in a way that enables these expansive emotions we actually use faith.
Such a way is similar to what we discussed in episode 47, where we do not focus on the details and the reductionistic step-by-step process in the beginning. Instead we need to be able to open up to a wider field of possibilities, potentialities.
The basis of faith is uncertainty and our knowledge of how profoundly limited we are in our minds.
We mention Michael A. Singer and his book "The Surrender Experiment", as an example of a person who manages to let go of his attachments to the details and roles and is thus able to live a life filled with miracles.

EP 64 Why is Abundance Rare?

Why is life so difficult? Why do we have to struggle so much and yet often gain so little? Why are millions starving? Why is there so much lack and why is abundance so difficult to come by?
Even though most would agree that abundance and love are what we value, the systems around our material world are not set up that way.
Instead our systems are set up to value scarcity. We protect it and manufacture it. And we use fear to make sure that we can keep whatever scarce goods we can gain.
Is it possible to build a system that values abundance instead of scarcity? What would that mean?
Then, that which we value would not be something that could bring me an advantage over someone else, instead we would value that which elevates us all the most.
This requires a profound change in all of our interactions, including communication, and could lead to a system where we would live more aligned with who we feel we are and with what we feel we value (love, freedom, creativity, abundance).

EP 66 Four Perspectives

The astrologer Michael Lennox once said, in passing:
"The world is not happening to you, not even for you, or through you, but as you."
I found these perspectives thought-worthy and decided to think about them out loud.
It is interesting how each step along this process of going from the first, to the second, to the third and to the fourth perspective is automatically achieved by letting go of identification. In the end, de-identifying with everything cannot be distinguished from being all.
