The Possible vs. The Impossible

The Possible vs. The Impossible




The Possible vs. The Impossible: An interesting point opened up today regarding “what is possible and what is impossible”. I’ve time and time again been faced with people saying to me “trying to help people, let alone humanity and change this world – is impossible”. 

Honestly, yes – I in such moments felt despair, because at the time, there were more people seeing through the eyes of what is impossible than looking through the eyes of the potential of what is possible.
During this time my thoughts and experiences also ‘leaned’ towards the impossible…going into this experience of having to ‘fight’ for ‘what is possible’, the ‘potential’ of myself, others, humanity and this world. So, the more and more I was exposed to others seeing through the eyes of the impossible, the more an inner conflict ensued within me between the impossible and the possible…until I realised something: that this is what ALL of us / the MAJORITY of humanity are doing. We keep on accepting and allowing ourselves to see through the eyes of the IMPOSSIBLE and any ONE or the few who may see / advocate / create ideas, inventions that would make change possible for individuals, the collective and the earth as a whole – they are oftentimes scolded, repressed, judged, condemned and facing much ridicule. 

Yet, if such individuals who tend to look through the eyes of the impossible, would for a moment take a breath and look through the eyes of the POTENTIAL of what is POSSIBLE and start a process of being part of the solution for individuals, the collective, the earth as a whole…we’ll slowly but surely, one by one, step by step start LAYING THE FOUNDATION for change in this world.

I realised that many tend to look at life on earth, humanity RIGHT NOW and say “it’s IMPOSSIBLE to even TRY and do anything”. When, what I am looking is the following: I do not know what may come to pass in this lifetime, but what is CERTAIN is that what I do, each day, is a little brick I lay down that will form part of a FOUNDATION for CHANGE that is being built. 
Change is a PROCESS. Change takes TIME. If I spent this lifetime through the eyes of the IMPOSSIBLE I would contribute to the IMPOSSIBLE and keep things as they are or only to become worse for the generations to come. However, whatever little or much I can do in this lifetime to contribute to the POTENTIAL of what is POSSIBLE for individuals, the collective and life on earth: I will do and am doing. Because, again – I now know and understand that: the POTENTIAL, the POSSIBLE I have seen within myself and others will only come to be, will only come to manifest if I, as them, bring it into creation and this cannot happen as long as I focus on the IMPOSSIBLE / looking through the eyes of the impossible. 

So, people can continue saying: “it’s Impossible”, but I do not take it personally anymore. I only realise: “okay, you’re still looking through the eyes of the impossible, but I will continue, each day, laying the bricks for the foundation of change to come – not necessarily in this lifetime, but for the generations to come in the future”.

Missing someone

Missing someone You miss someone who you’ve lost – either due to death / a break-up. You miss someone close to you who’s gone away for a while and you’ve been separated by time and space for longer than you’ve ever been. You may even have moments in a day where you miss a person when you walk by something that reminds them of you – even though you know you’re going to be seeing them at the end of the day. There are various moments and reasons for missing someone – and it is okay. What does compromise you, however – is when you either judge the fact that you’re missing someone and suppressing the experience or adding more emotion into the experience of missing someone, where the moment of ‘missing’ transmutes into an emotional experience of sadness, pain, loss, despair and even escalating into a depression. I have been through both extremes in my life – sometimes judging myself for missing someone, other times allowing the missing to become too emotional and there hav...

Time is always against us…

Time is always against us… I recently read an article about scientists discovering a breakthrough regarding longevity and reversing ageing. This brought up a question within me: if I could reverse my ageing process – would I? If I could live longer, even reach immortality – would I? Wow! There’s so many dimensions to consider within this question, but mainly – I looked at the following: Each person on this earth has the potential to develop their particular skills they are naturally born with or inherently able to cultivate. However, I find such potentials to be inhibited / oppressed by, for example the education systems only rearing individuals into jobs within the World System to survive; but then again, an education and a life / surviving in this world is not guaranteed for all equally due to how Money controls humanity / this earth at the moment. It’s essentially that each person on this earth has not had a chance / opportunity to truly develop themselves, who the...

A Journey with and through a Room: Moments of Breakthrough

Image
A Journey with and through a Room How a room transformed me, my relationships and my life I am 31. This is my age, yes – but not my definition, my self definition. When you hear me, and within hearing me, also  know me – you will know that when I say “I am 31” I merely speak of age and time, not who I AM as a person within myself. I have for some time been exposed to individuals who define who they are according to age. “I am this / that age – I must be married, have kids, have a place of my own, be ready to retire…” and the list goes on… I oftentimes imagine seeing people who speak like this as a rat in a cage, running on a wheel – the wheel representing age and time, running in circles in their own minds and lives to catch up to time, yet not realising they are creating their relationship with time and age in their minds in the first place!!! Honestly, I have accepted and allowed myself to – (because of how some closest to me in my life, even those who I ha...
