What The Heck Is Going on With The World?

I don’t have much time to write these days, but I can produce much more content if I talk to an inanimate electronic device (camera) and send it off to you when I’m done. So I did just that.
Here are some thoughts on how we might choose to orient to the current state of the world in a wise way. Allowing ourselves to know, make sense, explore, be open, find peace, and engage without losing our minds or hearts.

Glad to see you back. Perfect timing.

[@DrJupiterschild]

Wonderful share! Thank you One note: I don't think "palpation" is the right word... "oscillation" oughta be the word, maybe... Palpation could work in the way of felt-sense perception maybe, but I think I've only heard it used in relation to squeezing and feeling things through touch.

[@Collective-evolution]

You're absolutely right. I remember saying it and tripping over the word partly cause I was like.. ya i dunno if I got this right lolol Oscillating is what I wanted. I appreciate the note!

Welcome back ❤

[@sandrabaumann2943]

yes, awaking neutrality... release importance on 'my' narrative

[@bryanwinchell2485]

Good stuff, man! I really do hope people take your message to heart. I look forward to more content like this from you and will share it widely. There's SO MUCH MORE we can do with media that can make our world a better place, but it starts with the HOW---not only from the HOW of the content creators but the HOW of the content engagers. Work like this matters.

[@Collective-evolution]

Well said man and thanks for the feedback and engagement. I think the world would change a lot more than folks think if we collectively engaged with media and the internet differently. Right now, the rage, anger and echo chambers just put more algorithm bias and funding in the pockets of those creators.. who are not helping all that much in the end.

[@haunabaron741]

Thankyou Joe! You’ve been an inspiration to me since my spiritual awakening began in 2016, a remote mentor and guide per se. I appreciate all of your work and this was a great reminder and confirmation for the path I’ve been guided to walk as well. Thankyou thankyou , very grateful for the spiritual teachers such as yourself as we shift from the old consciousness to the new one.

[@Collective-evolution]

Thanks for the kind words, feedback and continued support! Lately I feel like more stuff like this needs to go out there. I dunno if it's the way the algorithm is feeding me content or what, but it's either wayy off in the clouds spiritual stuff that doesn't seem grounded, or it's sensationalist media stuff.. not much in between. Hoping to offer that alternative :)

[@liamconnelly3115]

The most terrifying thing about this kinda stuff is when apparently grown ass adults refuse to look at things objectively. Their narrative is absolute, and anyone who questions it let alone disagrees with it is the problem. That way of thinking is far to prevalent these days.

[@Collective-evolution]

Well said. The question is why do they refuse to look? My hope is to explore this in my upcoming book called Embodied Sensemaking :) It explores what can get in the way and how we can navigate it as individuals.

[@liamconnelly3115]

@Collective-evolution I don't pretend to know everything, but one thing I know in my gut is that we need to change on a collective scale. I know that starts at the individual level, but if it doesn't happen sooner rather than later we will start to decline and self destruct at a rapid rate.

[@Collective-evolution]

@@liamconnelly3115 indeed. I agree. In fact, I already feel the decline is happening fast. Eeek. That said, I'm personally OK with it as all I can do and control is what I put out there and how I carry myself. If I begin to worry about it I lose power. I belive we can be strong and stern and yet not panicked or worried. It's like an embodied confidence. This feels foreign in a world that largely only knows "strength" as destruction, aggression, and anger. I do feel individuals are feeding the collective more than we think too 🙂

[@liamconnelly3115]

@Collective-evolution Part of me feels like it is inevitable. Like a part of the human condition, and we are just within a set cycle of events that repeat every so often. Not directly repeat though, just human nature acting out how it does on set circumstances. The internet has given humanity many things, but it has also taken away and altered many as well. I believe that it has blinded a significant proportion of the world from what's happening around them. Especially when the internet is their only window to the "real" world.

[@martaisabelmoriagarcia9925]

We tend to make sense of the world from our own perspective, and that's ok, but sometimes we are gonna miss some piece of the puzzle.

[@Collective-evolution]

Well said!

[@magiccarpetmusic2449]

Very well done, communicated effectively. Thanks

[@Collective-evolution]

Thanks!

[@wendychaston1952]

Thank you for your work. You are a beacon of reason amongst the chaos. Looking forward to the book and very keen to take some of your courses when they are ready 😊

[@Collective-evolution]

Thanks for the kind words and interest :)

[@1wascallywabbit]

All one has to do who is questioning what's going on...need only to educate themselves on what's happened and transpired in just the last week with the "Pact of the Future" that has been forced upon us through the lack of contesting its adoption into policy, and the ok given permission to the use of the new ACAM2000...and what is written on the insert detailing the harms and Adverse Events that will come to those that partake in it..... as well as to its known and documented shedding, TO THOSE THAT "DIDN'T" partake in it

[@davidturoff8017]

Yes, a playful look at who is attacking you deems absurd to me. How open to different possibilities and motivations are necessary when you are getting punched in the nose?

[@Collective-evolution]

It's being able to sense the difference of ACTUALLY being punched in the nose and metaphorically being punched in the nose. This is what is burning people out... they are looking at problems they cannot change themselves as if they are physical dangers that are immediately about to kill them. Survival physiology is only supposed to be on for minutes at a time (when a danger is directly present). If it stays on too long, we start to break down as biological beings mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. This is why we've always informed people from an empowered and grounded sense vs one that puts people into fear and survival. There's no empowerment in that. It's also in survival mode where people misread situations and current events in a big way, something alternative communities have a lot of challenges with.

[@davidturoff8017]

@@Collective-evolution This is exactly why everything is presented as a crisis. When were we not facing the most important election?

[@pintsizegrfx]

Glad you're back. Helpful observations worthy of sharing. Thank you.

[@michelekarst5123]

Thx Joe, being neutral, flexible and not buying into the fear and doom is our way, and listening to all sides of the stories, we are being bombarded with! And Having timeout!

If you read the Bible you'll know exactly why the world is in the state it's in

I can tell you everything that's happening. The why and much of the WHO. ITS FAR WORSE than virtually anyone understands

As we try to make sense, people die suddenly.
