We have a few major family events underway, which I will write about in due course, but for now ... these have led to changes - including me ending my political blog, which has improved energy, health, stress, and made way for more changes incl more energy etc work here (and being better able to enjoy the weather, including a clear, warm spring morning yesterday and pluviophile pleasing rain since then ... and finally feeling that I am retired).
I am still considering how I will adapt to all that is going on and has happened to date: this won’t be finalised for a few months, which will be a stressful, interrupted period of time.
However, I still look at news reports, and I have noticed a theme of ethics in this week’s news - a theme which emphasises, in my opinion, that a more genuinely caring (spiritual) approach to mundane life is likely to lead to better outcomes for most people - and not only the rich and powerful (and those duped into thinking they are “temporarily embarrassed rich people”).
Those improved approaches would include having those with vested interests staying out of policy decisions (for example, see here, here, here, here, here, and here) rather than pretending that their compromised positions “give them experience” (which claim really does verge perilously close to unparliamentary dishonesty), declaring vested interests (e.g., see here), not making tokenistic comments about allowing a worse option than a minority government (in Queensland, which has caused and is facing a horrendous, confected human rights abuse problem), managing (allegedly unconscious?) biases (see here and here), not perverting employees into so-called “brand ambassadors”, managing the risk of poverty faced by two billion women and the water shortages facing half the world’s food crops (and accepting the evidence that freer societies do better economically), making genuine and timely efforts at peace and the cessation of crimes against humanity rather than tokenistic pretences that everyone will regret in years to come (see, for instance here, but Iran, North Korea, Russia, and Israel also have key accountabilities/decisions and are paying prices [such as a massive brain and economic drain from Israel] beyond the obvious human & other costs they and others [including the environment - and future people from issues such as mines] are paying), and so on ... but, noting this post of mine a few days ago, do spiritual groups and people also do that - or do that adequately?
In both cases, spiritual groups and societies alike, the courage to avoid fearful decisions that favour fascism and other anti-spiritual approaches is essential - and the peace process in the South American nation of Colombia is an excellent example.

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).Copyright © Kayleen White 2007-2024 NO AI
