Solution is Within our Hearts
... Not Within our Heads.
The Solution is Within our Hearts,
Not Within our Heads.
The mind and ego are selfish, by nature, and they only care for their own interests. They see a need to survive and try to control at all costs.
To the mind and ego, ‘humanity’ is only a word, an idea, or an object —they feel nothing about humanity. Even attempts by the mind and ego to make themselves seem humanitarian are not without their selfish ambitions.
No one can convince a person’s mind and ego that something is morally right. They may go along with it, because they are influenced by guilt, or by force, or maybe even by public opinion, but inside they remain unconvinced.
Nothing has changed, or will ever change, because the heart has not been opened. Mind and ego are still doing what is best for them, according to the actions of others.
Feelings make us very human by bringing out the best in us, through our open heart. Feelings allow us to connect with others through compassion and empathy. We are able to see beyond the mind and ego and we realize others may at times experience life the same as we do.
Feelings are the common seed within our common consciousness. We are able to feel close, vulnerable and human. When we are coming from our open heart, it becomes much easier to do what is best for all and not just for one.
Namaste.

It is often said of autistic people that they are overwhelmed by feelings.
And it is often said of Aspies (Autistic Asperger's) that we lack a sense of feelings, particularly awareness of the feelings of others. But, that is not true.
I can be articulate about thoughts and ideas, in words and other gestures, but scarcely at all about feeling and never convincingly, because feeling saturates me and everything within me while words float superficially. That is often why Aspies stumble or get anxious in conversation, because of saturation and not because of absence. Words cannot describe this feeling, and neither can they name it well.
Most who hear us talking to each other are surprised at what seems almost telepathic connection. Conversations made of simple clues and subtle gesture are like sharing the meanings found in ocean waves. We know it in each other. We often recognize it walking in the streets. But it is difficult for us to match our actions to other people’s understanding. Is this feeling different from what you mean?
You say, “When we are coming from our open heart, it becomes much easier to do what is best for all and not just for one.” What would help us do this better? I notice I write 'feelings' but you write 'feeling.' How are these different?
Thanks for the restack, Robert Cosmar. 💋💋💋
