We,The People, are not happy

15 - How to free our soul

We don’t know what happened before our birth and we don’t know what will happen after our death. We don’t even know what happens when we are asleep. It took us more 300 000 years to find that our material world is only 5% of reality. Let’s face it. We are exploring a new territory. To improve the human soul requires a different approach. It is like watering a little seed that has been waiting to be discovered.

There is something special about human thinking: It is that we can think about our thinking! When your bank statement does not match your expectation, you look for a mistake. To correct a mistake is thinking about our thinking.

The way we build a machine will not work to improve our soul. To make a machine, we build the parts one by one and assemble them. The way Nature builds a human being is by giving a seed the possibility to feed on its environment. This is a different way of thinking. You don’t add something from outside. You search inside what has been waiting for you. The baby trying to walk does not need to know how his muscles are working. He is looking inside himself for something to develop.

We have two channels to relate to our environment. It seems that Thinking is better adapted to the body channel and Feeling is better adapted to the soul’s channel. We need them both.

The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything except our thinking. Thus, we are drifting toward catastrophe beyond conception. We shall require a substantial new manner of thinking if humankind is to survive.

Albert Einstein

“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena; it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.”

Nikola Tesla.

 

“The time has come to realize that supersensible knowledge has now to arise from the materialistic grave.”

Rudolf Steiner

 

​Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings - always darker, emptier and simpler.

Friedrich Nietzsche

 

​There is nothing good or bad but thinking makes it so.

Shakespeare

Imagine a society completely dominated by logical thinking. Decisions that cannot be justified would send you to a psychiatric hospital run by robots using AI.  It would be a society doing many things without any feeling - such as atomic bombs.

If your parents treat you with ideas and no feeling, you will feel frustrated and rightly so. The child needs feelings more than ideas.

If thinking cannot be used alone, what else do we need? Is it feelings? Intuition? increased consciousness? common sense? What do you think planet earth is using to keep all those plants growing and keeping all those animals alive? Is it thinking? Instinct? Are we surrounded only by the law of nature?  In a conflict between ideas and feelings, chances are that the feelings will prevail.

Thinking feeds on facts. It uses logic to process information. Intuition feeds on emotions and our relationship with other people. A little love could solve many problems.

Thinking isolates. Intuition unites.
